Ning Guogong Mansion, in the main hall.

At this time, there were men in green robes sitting in the hall, their expressions were a little anxious, and the teacups on the tables had not been touched.

While the man was waiting restlessly, Jia Yun walked in unhappy.

Seeing this, the man stood up and said respectfully: "My subordinate Li Guobang has met my uncle."

The person who came was none other than Jia Yun's subordinate, Li Guobang, deputy chief of the Guards Department.

"Sit..." Jia Yun waved his hand and immediately sat on the main seat.

Seeing that Jia Yun seemed to be in a bad mood, Li Guobang asked cautiously, "What's bothering you uncle?"

Facing Li Guobang's cordial greetings, Jia Yun did not comment. Previously, Jia Yun wanted to coax Qingwen, but who would have thought that this girl refused to do so.

Although Qingwen is a maid, she is a daughter with a clean family background. Moreover, Qingwen has always been stubborn, so how could she do such a despicable thing?

If it is in the land of love and romance, this is very common. How can those trained daughters be so confident?

It's a matter of choice, and Jia Yun won't force it on others. Only when you and I are willing to do this kind of thing will we be happy...

Shaking his head, Jia Yun replied: "It's okay, it's just a small matter."

How can you tell outsiders about your family affairs?

Immediately, Jia Yun looked at Li Guobang and asked, "Since you came to find me, I assume that all the things entrusted to you have been completed?"

When Li Guobang heard this, he didn't care about other things and said seriously: "Uncle, you are so polite. It is my honor to serve you."

Jia Yun was Li Guobang's superior before he inherited the title, and was highly valued by the emperor. Now he inherited the Ningguo Duke's mansion, received heaven's grace, and was granted the title of earl, which is one level lower than the marquis, the ancestor of the Li family.

Not only that, the emperor bestowed the title "Critical Minister", and anyone with any brains would know the emperor's importance. Regardless of status or status, Li Guobang was far inferior to him, so he naturally did not dare to be rude in front of Jia Yun.

"Go back to uncle, everything is done."

Li Guobang responded, and immediately picked up two books from several cases and handed them to Jia Yun, saying: "This is what you told me. My subordinates have found out those unruly slaves who used the power of the Duke's palace to bully men and women."

Please take a look at the matter."

Jia Yun responded, looking at the book in front of him, he estimated that it was an inch thick. This is a book, it is only an inch thick, but I think those unscrupulous slaves often do such dirty things...

After taking the book, Jia Yun looked through it, and the Lai family of the Jia family was at the top of the list.

After reading through them one by one, Jia Yun had a rough idea.

Aunt Lai's eldest son, Lai Da, is now the general manager of Rongguo Duke's Mansion. He used his power to make money, and actually bought a large garden in Bining Mansion, and also donated a county magistrate to his son. How deep is the water here?

Just imagine.

Looking at those concierges and accountants, they are the boss and the second in command. Even if they have a lot of power, they have the right to collude with outside merchants, take advantage of procurement opportunities, pass off inferior goods as good ones, and make a profit from it.

Let’s look at the wives’ companions, such as the one who came to Wang’s house, it’s even more sinister. Her family is Wang Xifeng’s companion. Sister Feng is doing things like loan sharking, loan sharking, and taking human life seriously.

Lai Wang does it, and Lai Wang's family is responsible for lending money and collecting accounts.

This matter of collecting accounts is not just a simple notification, how can black things be better...

As the forest grew bigger, there were all kinds of birds. As a long-established family, the Jia family had their servants spreading their branches and leaves, and the trees were big and deep-rooted. Gradually, they developed a nasty habit of using their power to bully others.

To be honest, with so many marrow-pulling and bone-sucking minions, how can the Jia family live well? It's just like the imperial court. If all civil and military officials are like this, the dynasty will be in its final stage and will be over sooner or later.

Li Guobang down the hall saw Jia Yun's serious expression, and was very upset. Speaking of which, after Jia Yun asked for filial piety from the emperor, Jia Yun went to the Gongwei Department to arrange work, and still asked him to sit in the hall temporarily.

official.

In addition to this matter, he was also asked to investigate the scandals in the Jia family, and he was strictly ordered to report every incident, no matter how big or small, as long as he had real evidence.

Although Li Guobang was confused as to why Jia Yun asked him to do it, since he was told to do it, he did it honestly.

After flipping through the first book, Jia Yun immediately flipped through the second one. This one was a little thinner. Jia Yun opened it and saw that it was a record of the things committed by the Jia people. The others were okay.

These are trivial matters, but Jia She is the only one who has a lustful nature and misbehavior, which has ruined countless women from good families. Most of them are forced, especially women with husbands. Jia She even colludes with officials to harm their husbands on unfounded charges.

Seizing a wife...

Although Jia Yun is not a good person, he can't do such a bastard thing...

The next most important thing is Jia Yun's "good aunt", who broke the law and loaned loan sharks, and many people lost their families and families because they could not repay the loans.

Not only that, Wang Xifeng also took over all lawsuits, wrongly convicted cases and collected benefits.

After flipping through the book, Jia Yun raised his eyes and looked at Li Guobang. Seeing that he kept standing, Jia Yun hurriedly greeted: "I forgot to greet the guests for a moment. Deputy Counselor Li, please sit down!"

Li Guobang and Jia Yun had worked together for a long time. He knew Jia Yun's temperament, so he didn't want to be polite. He sat down and said, "Thank you, uncle."

Jia Yun looked at Li Guobang for a few times. When he first took the post of Chief of the Arch Guards Department, Li Guobang was still a thorn in his side, but he didn't expect that he would now become Jia Yun's helper.

If you want to be effective in investigating the Jia family, you still have to find talents in the capital. Li Guobang is a noble person in the capital, and his connections are much better than Jia Yun, an "outsider", so Jia Yun handed over the investigation to Jia Yun.

He did not give it to Zeng Guofan, who was close to Jia Yun.

After all, Jia Yun had memories of his past life, so he naturally knew that there were almost no clean people in the Jia family. According to the book handed over by Li Guobang, 80% of the slaves in the Jia family were unclean at all, and there were also many bullies among the Jia family members.

Domineering woman.

This book is not much different from what Jia Yun thought.

I have to say that Li Guobang is quite reliable, and he has passed the test of loyalty for the time being.

This is also the reason why Jia Yun left the matter to Li Guobang. While investigating the situation of Jia's house, he also tested Li Guobang.

Since he has Jia Yun's approval, he will naturally not show off in front of Li Guobang.

"Deputy Counselor Li, I'm sorry to trouble you about this matter. It's a pity that I have a filial piety. Otherwise, I would treat you to a drink."

Seeing Jia Yun's kind face, Li Guobang knew that this matter was done in line with Jia Yun's wishes. To be honest, he was really shocked when he used his own connections to find out these things before. For a noble family like Jia Mansion,

The interior is so dirty. If Jia Yun hadn't asked him to investigate, it would have been so bad. Especially the Lai family, who is called the housekeeper, is actually more like the Duke's Palace than the Duke's Palace...

"Uncle, you are so complimentary." Li Guobang said politely.

In fact, these matters are not difficult to investigate. Most of the Shuntian government offices have filed records. With Li Guobang's status, it is not easy to transfer the case files.

In addition, Li Guobang also sent people to the Ku master's house to seek confirmation. After these two trips, he naturally found out, but it just took a little more time...

Since Jia Yun asked him to investigate these things, he must have other plans, so Li Guobang said: "Uncle, if there is any subordinate who can help, just ask, I will do my best."

Hearing this, Jia Yun couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly. Compared with Zeng Guofan, another deputy chief of staff under Jia Yun, Li Guobang was undoubtedly smarter, not because of the difference in military equipment, but in his personality.

Perhaps it is precisely because Li Guobang was a noble in the capital and received a different education than Zeng Guofan. Li Guobang had been exposed to these worldly people early and understood more. This is the gap between nobles and common people.

If Zeng Guofan were asked to investigate, he might not have found out where he was now. How could Li Guobang not know about the connections in Xungui Mansion?

After pondering for a while, Jia Yun said: "Forget it, Deputy Counselor Li, you will transfer some people from the Guards Department tomorrow. This Duke's Mansion really needs to be put in good order."

Li Guobang knew that there was such a thing since Jia Yun asked him to investigate, so he was not surprised. After hearing Jia Yun's instructions, he stood up immediately and said, "Yes, I will go back and make arrangements immediately."

When Jia Yun saw this, he was not polite. After all, it was getting late now, and Li Guobang needed to notify people in advance, which would take time.

After waving his hand, Li Guobang left knowingly.

In the hall, Jia Yun held the two books in his hands, his eyes became more and more sharp. He was in charge of Ning Mansion for the first time. It was because he had to guard the soul, so Jia Yun couldn't bear to say anything. Moreover, it was difficult to handle things with just one mouth and no real evidence.

, so Jia Yun asked people to investigate privately, while he stayed at the funeral and arranged Jia Zhen's funeral.

Now more than a month has passed since Jia Zhen's funeral. Even at this time, the house is being tidied up and no one can say anything idle.

With "real evidence" in hand, Jia Yun obviously did not intend to tolerate it and dealt with it all...
