Chapter 572 Result

Seeing the suffering of Lai Da’s family, who used to be aloof, most people in the Jia family secretly cheered.

Except for Lai Sheng and his wife from Ningguo Mansion. Lai Sheng could still hold his own, but Lai Sheng's family had already hurried home after hearing that their uncle's place had been raided.

I also saw the soldiers guarding the door of my uncle’s house. I heard the sound of shaking in the courtyard, but they didn’t dare to stay.

"Mother, you are back..."

As soon as he approached his alley, he found that his two sons, along with his daughter-in-law and others, were all crowded in Here, a group of people wanted to go over to check the situation but didn't dare. They couldn't hide their fear on their faces, and when they saw her coming, they started asking questions.

"What should I do, mother? I heard that Mr. Lian sent people to search my uncle's house. There has been a commotion for a while. Will it be our turn soon? ”

Both of Lai Sheng’s sons were incompetent, at least far inferior to the outstanding Lai Shangrong. This is actually an important reason why Lai's family is much more prosperous than Lai Sheng's family, because Grandma Lai is also more willing to invest in big houses with "potential", and she has always lived in her eldest son's house.

"Mom, my uncle's family is in doom. Before they come, let's give away some of the valuable things at home. This way, even if there is an emergency, we can still turn around in the future. Opportunity..." Lai Sheng's youngest son pulled Lai Sheng's family and suggested anxiously in a low voice.

The Lai Sheng family was actually panicked and afraid, but after hearing this, she knew instinctively that this was a way to bring disaster.

The two families are brothers and they are so close. Since Jia Lian sent people to surround and inspect them, who can guarantee that no one will specially look at them? If Mr. Lian had no intention of taking action against them, wouldn't he be inviting trouble by running away?

But they didn’t dare to move things out in a big way, as it would be impossible to wait for nothing to be done, so the Lai Sheng family ran back to the house and hid some valuable items here and there. Even though she knew that a search was really going to be carried out, this was probably a useless effort, at least it could provide some psychological comfort. Seeing her like this, her sons and daughters-in-law were all busy trying to imitate her...

Let’s talk about Lai Dazhai. On the son's side, thanks to the efforts of Lin Zhixiao's family, Grandma Lai's house was quickly vacated.

"Miss Ping, everything that can be moved in this courtyard has been found. The second master is still waiting for Xin'er. How about you go back and revive the second master first?"

Lin Zhixiao’s family was shocked by the luxury in Grandma Lai’s house. Now that she had looted it, they felt unusually happy.

Ping'er was not eager to claim credit from Jia Lian, butHe ordered people to open the more than ten boxes of belongings that were found, and asked someone to bring in another empty box. Then he said to Aunt Lai next to him: "This time, the second master just asked me to check Lai Da's belongings. Mama Lai, you have served the old lady for so many years, there must be many things here that she has given to you, so feel free to pick them out, and after the people around the old lady have confirmed them, we will definitely return them to you, Mama Lai."

Ping'er's politeness to Aunt Lai made Lin Zhixiao's family indifferent. After all, Ping'er was a person that both Jia Lian and Sister Feng trusted, so it was not easy to argue with her on such trivial matters. Ping'er was against it, so he waved his hand and led others to check for leaks and fill in the gaps.

Here, Aunt Lai no longer had the initial panic. She glanced at Ping'er with gratitude, then sighed and shook her head and said, "That's it, Lai Da has committed a crime this time. For such a heinous crime, how can I have the face to leave the old lady’s rewards? Miss Ping, take them all down and show them to the second master. No matter what the second master does with us this time, our Lai family will I am willing to accept it..."

After all, Grandma Lai has been following Jia Mu for fifty or sixty years, and she has experienced some storms. But in such a situation, she sobered up.

Now that things have come to this, how can she still think about retaining these extraneous things? This time, as long as she can save her family's wealth and life, it is her greatest luxury. If these things could be used, it would be worth the money in exchange for a lenient treatment from Mr. Lian.

So, Aunt Lai hurriedly knelt down and said, "I am already a guilty person. I didn't dare to make any demands at first, but others said that Miss Ping has a true heart of a Bodhisattva. So, I dare to ask you Miss Ping, for the sake of me being seventy years old, let me see the old lady again.

After this, I don’t know if I will have a chance to kowtow to her again."< br />
Facing Aunt Lai’s plea, Ping’er sighed and quickly helped Aunt Lai up, “Don’t worry, Mum Lai, the old lady is a nostalgic person, and Mr. Lian is also a tolerant person. Nothing will happen to you, old lady. The old lady will still need your service in the future."

Aunt Lai became even more grateful, "I don't want to serve you, as long as the old lady doesn't abandon me. , if you are still willing to see me, I will be satisfied and die without any regrets."

He comforted Aunt Lai and invited her to the carriage she came in. Then Ping'er ordered someone to take Lai Shangrong to the carriage. Waiting for Lai's family and dozens of boxes of property to be escorted to Rongguo Mansion.

In the courtyard of Rongguo Mansion, the scene remained the same.

After being squeezed by Jia Lian’s words, Jia’s mother actually stood on the sidelines and said nothing.

But in her heart, she had already thought of many ways and words to make a comeback. For example, most of the property that Jia Lian took from Lai's family was said to be a reward from her. In this way, even though Jia Lian harbored suspicions in his heart,Doubtful, there is no way to refute.

Is it possible that she, the dignified Miss Shihou, the Dowager Lady of Rongguo Mansion, and the ancestor of the Jia family, is not capable of fattening a slave?

But this idea was shaken after seeing the boxes after boxes carried in by the boys.

She had a question: Are all these things really copied from Lai’s family? Could it be that Jia Lian had someone rob a wealthy businessman outside?

Those boxes are filled to the brim with gold, silver, pearls, emeralds, antiques, calligraphy and paintings. There are probably thirty or forty of them. They are not finished yet. Are they still being moved in?

Not to mention Jia’s mother, even Jia Zheng became suspicious and went down to check it out in person...

Jia Lian looked at the constant flow of things coming in with a smile in his eyes. Yes, it's a little chilly.

"Mr. Zhan and Mr. Shan, I would like to trouble you all to work with Butler Lin and others to help estimate the price of these things."

Gold and silver are naturally easy to calculate. Just use a scale to weigh them, but for jewelry, calligraphy and paintings, etc., you need someone with some knowledge to estimate the price as soon as possible. At this time, these Qingke supported by Jia Zheng were not used in vain.

Zhan Guang, Shan Ren and others were also shocked by the "richness" of the Lai family. They were worried that they were outsiders and would not be able to come forward to observe. When they were killed, they all smiled and said they were happy to serve. , and then went to help Lin Zhixiao do statistics.

"Old lady, this old slave is here to apologize to the old lady..."

As soon as Grandma Lai entered the courtyard and saw Jia Mu, she immediately got out of the carriage. , and ran desperately in the direction of Jia Mu.

It doesn’t matter how old or weak she is, or the height of the carriage.

When Jia Mu saw this, she was so shocked that she shouted to her left and right: "Quick, hold her up, don't fall!"

But in her heart, her resentment towards Jia Lian suddenly disappeared. A little smaller. Because she saw that Aunt Lai came in in a carriage.

One of the main reasons why Jia Mu insisted on protecting the family was to maintain her own dignity.

And her relationship with the Lai family is just that of Grandma Lai. In this situation, Jia Lian's kindness to Aunt Lai meant treating her decently, and Jia's mother was naturally a little pleased.

I won’t go into detail about how Aunt Lai made a tearful apology and petition when she came to Jia’s mother, but Lin Zhixiao, with the help of many assistants, quickly compiled the general results.

"Reporting to the Second Master, so far, a total of 18 pieces of calligraphy and painting have been found from the Lai family, with an estimated silver of more than 3,700 taels, and 97 rare artifacts, with an estimated silver of 20,000 More than five thousand taels, house and landDeed..."

Lin Zhixiao read out two sentences according to the text, and Jia Lian interrupted impatiently: "Just tell the general story, no need to elaborate. "

"Yes..."

Lin Zhixiao directly turned to the last page of the temporary account book, with a more solemn expression, and read aloud: "Gold and silver utensils , a total of 3,624 and a half kilograms, with a net discount of more than 98,300 taels of silver. Other belongings are estimated to be more than 65,480 taels of silver.

The total amount was 163,780 taels of silver. "

Lin Zhixiao closed the book with trembling hands, handed it to Jia Lian with both hands, and then added: "This does not include the house where everyone lives, and other belongings that are not suitable for moving. ”

Although I had known for a long time that the Lai family was rich, I never expected that it would be so rich, it was incredible!

The second housekeeper, Lin Zhixiao, was In this case, not to mention other slaves. Many people's eyes were red, staring at the Lai family on the field, and the jealousy in their eyes seemed to have turned into reality.

Sixteen Thirty-seven thousand seven hundred and eighty taels...

Don’t say so much, just give yourself a small change, it will be enough for a lifetime. He is also a slave, why is his family so poor? However, he was extremely rich?

Fortunately, the second master checked it!

Jia Lian was a little surprised by this result, but he was also expecting it.< br />
He briefly checked the account books, then put them down and focused his attention on Lai and Da again: "You guys, what else can you say? ”

Lai Da looked ashen and bowed his head in silence.
