"Okay, okay, I already know all the things about Lai Da Lai Er.
Are you waiting to expose it now? The cucumbers and vegetables are already cold."
Jia Lian said this deliberately because he wanted Wu Xindeng to expose another "fat rat".
Sure enough, Wu Xindeng hurriedly "climbed along the pole" and kowtowed:
"It's not the Lai family, it's not the Lai family. The one I want to expose is Zhou Rui."
Haha, after a few days of beatings, Wu Xindeng became more sensible.
Jia Lian casually said "Oh?", took the tea handed over by the servant, took a slow sip, and then said casually:
"Then let's talk and listen.
Even if I have the heart to spare you, it still depends on whether you have the good fortune to do so.
Close the door and let him expose it properly."
.
When Wu Xindeng heard this, it was as if he had grasped a life-saving straw. He immediately knocked his head on the ground with a "dong-dong" sound and said hurriedly:
"Second Master, I dare not hide it. Zhou Rui has embezzled a lot of money.
His wife came to live with his family. After his wife took charge of the house, Zhou Rui took charge of the business of collecting land rent in spring and autumn. In his free time, he only took the young man out for a walk.
There are sixteen Zhuangzi in western Liaoning to the north, and there is land in Jinling to the south. He collected these.
I heard my in-law Laiji say that now every farm head knows that the masters don’t know anything about crops. It’s far away from the north and no one goes to check it carefully.
They would make up some excuse that they had suffered a disaster, and some of them even had the courage to report "no harvest" to their masters and secretly swallow up all the farm rent collected.
But these things could not be hidden from the masters, but not from Zhou Rui, who traveled twice a year.
In order to shut his mouth, everyone has to give him a share.
I heard that this spring, when he returned from a trip to collect rent, he bought more than 100 acres of good land in the suburbs of Beijing.
Moreover, he is a naughty person, and the land he buys is really good land. As long as he is given a piece of land that he likes, he will definitely find ways to force it to buy it.
If someone doesn't agree, or there are others who want to buy the land, Zhou Rui will use the banner of the master of the Jia family to find officials and other scoundrels. In the end, he will definitely lose his family.
Just a professional.
He got good land from others and saved a lot of money to buy the land.
Over the years, Zhou Rui has become a big landowner without showing off.
Although he is a son of the Wang family, he has a decent family and was able to seek the grace of his wife to release his daughter from slavery and let her marry the antique dealer Leng Zixing outside.
Although this Leng Zixing is just a businessman, he also has some wealth. Now because he married Zhou Rui's daughter, he has a big backer like the Jia family and the Wang family, and he suddenly becomes rich.
He also walked sideways in the capital. Many people who wanted to cling to the Jia family had to cling to him first.
He also caused several big troubles in Beijing, including beatings and cheating, but Zhou Rui begged his wife to calm them down.
Leng Zixing was not only able to buy and sell the Jia family's things, but he also benefited from those who entrusted him to do things, and a lot of them were used as filial piety to Zhou Rui.
I have seen it with my own eyes. Leng Zixing came to the house to find Zhou Rui and gave him a gold ingot."
"Finished?"
Jia Lian held a clove olive in his mouth and glanced at Wu Xindeng.
Wu Xindeng thought about it again and then said with a tearful voice:
"There is really no more, slave... slave is a waste."
Jia Lian waved his hand, seeming a little regretful:
"Forget it, I don't want to feel bad about that pot of oil."
He ordered outside:
"It's better to tie Wu Xindeng up and blow him up.
Don't push it in all at once, the pot isn't that big.
It has to be fried from the feet to the legs, bit by bit from the bottom up, it has to be fried thoroughly, otherwise it won’t be crispy.”
As soon as the hall door opened and someone came in to catch him, Wu Xindeng was so frightened that he burst into tears:
"Spare your life! Second Master, please spare your life!"
Seeing that Jia Lian was completely ignoring him, Wu Xindeng suddenly shouted:
"I remember! I know who the Second Mistress' money was stolen from! The Second Master!"
.
"Oh?"
Jia Lian finally seemed to have some interest.
"Then drag it back first."
Wu Xindeng simply had a chance to survive. He crawled to Jia Lian's desk on his hands and knees. He only regretted that he could not grow a dog's tail and shook it fiercely. His voice trembled and he said:
"Second Master, Second Master, this slave knows, this slave really knows, please spare this slave's life, don't dirty a pot of good oil."
Jia Lian smiled:
"What you said in the end makes sense.
Close the door and give you another chance. Tell the truth, and I will spare your life."
Wu Xindeng looked around, hesitated and whispered:
"Second Master, it concerns Second Grandma..."
Jia Lian waved his hand carelessly:
"Just tell them, no matter what they hear, they won't say anything.
They are also afraid of dirtying the second master’s good oil.”
Everyone in the room felt a chill on their backs:
Good guy, the way Mr. Lian gives instructions is really scary.
.
Wu Xindeng did not dare to neglect and said quickly:
"My nephew is Wu Xinzhu's son. In the first few years, he married the daughter of Zheng Hua's sister.
One time when we were drinking, Zheng Hua said it himself, saying that Mistress Lian used money from the inner house to loan usury. Not only did she know about it, but she also spent the money she earned.
In these years, our queen has been in the palace, and she has had to spend money on things.
In the early years, it was Zheng Hua who took care of things outside for his wife, and also loaned us money. Others came to ask us to do things. Later, after Mistress Lian took over the affairs of the house, they all asked Mistress Lian's roommate Lai Wang'er to do the work. When the second master Touqian'er went to Yangzhou, the second mistress Lian wanted to raise a baby, so the wife handed over the affairs of the house to the third girl and Miss Bao.
While Mistress Lian was in a hurry to recover the principal, Lai Wanger suggested that the boss of the debt had run away and robbed Mistress Lian of a lot of money. I heard that even the dowry was stolen.
Second Master, this slave has heard of this. Second Master, this servant really doesn’t know anymore. Second Master, please spare your life!”
Sure enough, the idiot Wang Xifeng really tricked her own aunt.
.
Seeing Wu Xindeng crying bitterly, Jia Lian, who had no intention of blowing up anyone alive in his own yard, waved his hand:
"Save your life first."
Order to lower your head:
"Tie Wu Xindeng and Wu Xinzhu into the stable, give them a hundred whips, and then hand them over to Jiao Da to take them to reclaim the wasteland."
.
The servants standing in the outer courtyard heard Wu Xindeng's cries from the hall inside. Some were gloating about his misfortune, while others were frightened.
At this time, seeing Wu Xindeng being dragged out with tears streaming down his face, he had an expression of gratitude. Everyone thought that the matter was over, but they didn't expect that he was dragged into the stable and whipped.
Listening to the cries and howls of brothers Wu Xindeng and Wu Xinzhu singing and singing in the stable, everyone looked at the bubbling boiling oil pot and felt that these two brothers were really lucky.
And Jiao Da was already waiting outside the stable with two boys. Jiao Da grinned and complained to the stable with his hands on his hips:
"In the early years, when my grandfather and I were in the army, our clothes were ripped off by whips. Look, all the good clothes were ripped to pieces.
You beat the rags into the flesh like this, and you walked all the way to the village without closing the wounds. Won't this delay your work?"
When everyone heard this, their hearts dropped.
As long as you don't pay enough, you will be fried into fried dough sticks. If you are able to expose it, you will be lucky enough to be beaten and then sent to work in the wasteland.
At this time, some people who were still lucky were completely frightened. Before their names were called, they hurriedly sneaked out to look for relatives and friends, exchanged money like crazy, and tried their best to find anything.
Let’s go through the Second Master Lian first and then talk about it.
This is Scorpion becoming the Lord of Hell - a vicious and deadly master.
