Chapter 204: Mrs. Wang’s calculation

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 Mu and her mother in tears, begging for mercy in various ways, which made me cry.

Jia Lian didn't care about this, and even wanted to greet Tanchun and others who poked their heads out of the inner hall. After the rack.

In desperation, he seemed to have stepped on the foot of a certain customer, which elicited a very cute "ouch" sound, and then there was a faint cry of apology...

Obviously, the Miharu sisters 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 Mistress 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 approximate estimate of the Second Mistress, the gold tickets, silver notes, gold, silver and copper coins are at least about 8,000 taels. Other jewelry, jewelry, gold and silver utensils, antique calligraphy and paintings, and even There are several land deeds and house deeds, and all the things are worth at least ten or twenty thousand silver..."

Wang Xifeng knew that Jia Lian urgently needed to copy the amount to silence Jia Mu and others. , so let Xiaohong report in advance.

After hearing this, Jia Lian said: "Old lady, madam, listen, I just let people search at will, and I can find out such an astonishing amount. Those things that they spent or hid elsewhere I don’t know how many people have gone there.

That’s it, not counting their house.

After all, being a slave in our family is really better than being an official. Too much. The annual salary of those prime ministers and ministers is only a few hundred taels. It is pitiful that after working hard for twenty years as an official, their income is no more than that of a slave in our family."

Jia Mu and When Mrs. Wang heard this, her hands tightened.

The servants who have served the family for generations, especially the housekeepers and old stewards, are rich men, and they know this well.

However, Dan Daliang has not been a housekeeper for a long time, and has not experienced many major events, but 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 Mu couldn’t help but doubt in her heart that she, the wife of the Duke of the country,, Is the friendship I have saved in most of my life considered to be too much...

Seeing the situation, Shan Daliang’s family hurriedly stood up and kowtowed: “Most of those belongings are from the old lady and the old lady after so many years. They rewarded me..."

Jia Mu 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.

Who 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 of this money does not belong to the slaves themselves...but...it comes from several relatives who see that the slaves still have some dignity in the house, so The money was transported to the capital and handed over to us for safekeeping, but unexpectedly, Mr. Lian was used as evidence and found out. Looking back, how should we explain it to our relatives..."

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? He also takes care of the property on his behalf, which is getting more and more outrageous.

A stern look made the Shan Daliang 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 it is inevitable to earn some money from it.

It is difficult to raise fish in clear water. If you are an official in the court, you should be very aware of this truth.

/>Given that they have been in the family for several generations and have served their masters for several generations, they have toiled 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 several decades, she has a strong sense of “territoriality” and knows that these servants in her family are an extension of her power.

Once these people are gone, I am afraid that 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.

She didn’t want Jia Lian to set this example.

But Jia Lian is not Mrs. Wang or Wang Xifeng, so he decided to set this example!

"Basically speaking of national law, those who steal or defraud their master's property should be hanged..."

"Yeah~!"

Behind the huge wooden screenThere was a sudden exclamation, crisp and clear, with a little delicate 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 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 be transferred to the officials, and then the people's hair will fall on Zhuangzi. ……

This is already the lightest punishment. They have done such unfaithful and unjust things that violate the laws of the country and the family. They should be severely punished in terms of ethics and ethics. Otherwise, not only will they not be able to To serve as a warning, it chills the hearts of those slaves who are thrifty, self-disciplined and loyal!"

Jia Lian said this, and Jia Mu could not say anything more.

Glancing at the Shan Daliang family who still wanted to ask for mercy, Jia Mu said impatiently: "Okay, let's do it.

He has already done this to you. You are merciful outside the law. If you had followed the behavior of the old princes of the past, if you had acted like this, everyone would have been dead long ago. How can you be allowed to cry here?

On to Zhuangzi , try to change your ways."

After Jia Mu said these words, even if her feelings were exhausted, she gave the women beside her a look, and those people turned to the Shan Daliang family. Set it up and drag it out.

When the crying people were carried away, the hall became quiet, and Jia Mu glanced at Mrs. Wang invisibly.

Mrs. Wang hardly spoke from beginning to end. Strictly speaking, this Shan couple should be considered her talents...

Didn’t think too much, Jia Mu He turned to look at Jia Lian, who looked 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 be eliminated one by one sooner or later.

Our Jia family does not need disloyal slaves."

Jia Lian’s answer made Jia Mu feel very uncomfortable. It seemed that all the servants left over from her days of running the family were unfaithful and unruly.

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 everything is too much and one day you will understand that people are rarely confused."


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." "

"My ancestors calm down, and my grandson will retire first..."

After Jia Lian left, she saw that Jia's mother was a little angry. Mrs. Wang actually advised: "Old lady Don't take it personally, he has no selfish motives either.

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 this is the case, he is only doing the best for our family, so it’s hard for him. "

When Jia Mu heard this, she sighed softly, stood up, put her arm on Yuanyang's arm, and went to the inner hall.

"Madam..."

There was no one waiting for Zhou Rui’s family, so he walked up and called out.

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, the powerful slaves, feel in danger.

The key point is that it seems that his wife has no intention of protecting Daliang at all... This made her feel 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 nor Lian'er are stupid. After punishing the Shan family, they will definitely not make any big moves again. As long as you act more cautiously in the future and don't give them any leverage, I guess they won't do anything to you. "

After hearing this, Zhou Rui's family felt a little unsure.

But then they saw Mrs. Wang whispering: "Go out and watch, look at Lian'er and the other two. , did you send all the copied things to the official for registration..."

The Zhou Rui family was slightly stunned, and suddenly understood why Mrs. Wang did not save the Shan family.

Madam, you have set your sights on that huge amount of property.

On the contrary, putting those things into the official is also very big for the official. What a fortune!

But why do I always feel a chill in my heart...
