Chapter 138 Shocking Accounts
In Rongqing Hall.
At this time, the hall was overcrowded. Not only the female family members such as Mrs. Wang were in the hall, but also Jia Zheng, Jia She and Jia Lian who were working outside were all present in the hall.
There was such a commotion in the East Mansion, and many servants who had received the news earlier came to Rong Mansion to take refuge. Jia She and others also knew the news, so they came to Jia Mu to see the situation.
After all, the only person who can control Jia Yun's identity now is Jia's mother, and even Jia She can't take advantage.
When Yuanyang came back from Dongfu and told Jia Yun what he said, Jia's mother showed no emotion or anger on her face and seemed to be holding back.
Jia She's face was green and he said urgently: "Old lady, you heard that Brother Yun maintains his own identity and is arrogant. Does he still care about the Jia family?"
Sister Feng frowned, even though she had an old relationship with Jia Yun, she also felt that Jia Yun had done something wrong, and Feng's eyes were a little gloomy, saying: "Old ancestor, this Jia Yun is indeed a bit outrageous."
Jia Mu only felt a headache. She encountered such a careless bastard. If she wanted to cure him, she could only file a complaint. But in this case, it would be a fight to the end. The Ning Mansion would not get any relief, and the Rong Mansion would also be implicated.
, This is the outcome of a lose-lose situation, and even if you go down below, you will not be able to see the ancestors of the Jia family.
But if not, it would be really annoying for Jia Yun to be rebellious and Jia Mu to be unable to control him.
After all, Jia Mu is also an old person. How could she let herself be like that in her old age? Even when Jia Zhen was alive in the past, Jia Mu only talked about bringing a golden book and a phoenix treasure to complain, but in fact it was just a bluff.
Jia Zhen was also a weakling, and she lost her idea when she was threatened. On the contrary, Jia Yun seemed to have a hold on her, and was sure that Jia Mu would not defeat her, so she became more and more aggressive.
Knowing that the whole room was full of dissatisfaction with Jia Yun, Yuanyang had to bravely say: "Old lady, the uncle said that he wants to settle the accounts of the house, so he will come a little late, and then he will express his love to the old lady."
Jia She snorted coldly and reprimanded: "What excuse is that bastard looking for? What could be more important than summoning the old lady? I think he got carried away after accepting the title. He doesn't pay attention to anyone. What can I say?"
, he should not have been allowed to seize the title at that time, and his clan membership should have been expelled for his bastard stubbornness in destroying Ning Rong's foundation."
Jia Mu gave Jia She a cold look, her face full of disgust. Not only Jia Mu, but also anyone with any sense sneered at Jia She's remarks.
Jia She said it lightly. If Jia Yun is not allowed to seize the title, the title of Ning Mansion will be deprived of him. He can't tell which is more important or less important. How can he still have the nerve to talk here?
Jia Mu pondered for a moment and said calmly: "That's all, let's wait for him for a while and see what nonsense he can come up with."
Seeing Jia Mu's words, everyone didn't know what to say...
After waiting for nearly an hour, Jia Yun arrived at Rongqing Hall.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Jia Yun saluted solemnly: "I've seen the old lady."
Jia Mu snorted coldly and said angrily: "I'm sorry you still know etiquette."
Jia Yun did not comment, raised his eyebrows and said: "The old lady is my great-grandmother, so I should respect her."
When Jia Mu heard this, she immediately felt that the words were full of ridicule. She took a long breath and said coldly: "If you settle the accounts of the Dongfu, you will settle the accounts. How can you take down all the people? The Lai family is also in the house."
My old slave has always worked hard, so why did he steal other people's property and not be afraid of being said by outsiders that he treated me harshly?"
When Jia Yun heard this, he said contemptuously: "I don't think you can do your best!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone had different expressions, especially Jia Mu and Wang Xifeng. These two people knew a little about Jia Yun and knew that Jia Yun was not unreasonable. Weren't they verifying the accounts before? Since I said so, I must be.
Found something.
Mrs. Wang on the side heard this and helped: "Brother Yun, Aunt Lai is an old man in the house. She always knows etiquette and observes etiquette and never shows off."
Aunt Lai is the person close to Jia's mother and also Jia Zheng's wet nurse. It is understandable for Mrs. Wang to help.
Moreover, Aunt Lai is senior in the Jia family, has good dignity, and treats people kindly, so she has a good reputation in the family. All the servants obey her, and even Jia's mother treats her kindly.
Jia Yun knows all this, but even though Grandma Lai is a good person, the sons she gave birth to are more greedy than the last. Not to mention the blessing of the Jia family, they are greedy and use the name of the Duke's family to do some dirty things.
It's a shameful thing, and the property he bought is more impressive than the Duke's mansion.
If the housekeeper can be so rich, then uncle Jia Yun should not do it. Wouldn't it be better to find a position as a housekeeper? He can dominate the master's house and make the family rich without being implicated. Such a good thing,
What fool would let this go?
To say that Grandma Lai doesn't know this is sheer nonsense. It's not like this old thing is just pretending to be confused.
Isn’t Grandma Lai the old lady of the Lai family? Is such a big garden all for nothing?
At this time, Mother Jia was shocked when she saw Jia Yun's contemptuous look. Seeing that he didn't intend to let Aunt Lai go, it was impossible. No one in the house knew that Aunt Lai was going out with her.
A person represents his dignity, and touching her means touching Jia Mu herself, so Jia Mu frowned and said, "Brother Yun, don't talk nonsense."
Jia Yun didn't talk nonsense. He ignored the rules on the spot and walked directly into the hall. Then he handed the roster and account books to Jia's mother and said meaningfully: "Old lady, look at it carefully. Don't think that the boy has wronged me."
Although Jia's mother was dissatisfied with Jia Yun's rudeness, she looked at the account book handed over by Jia Yun and didn't care about anything else, so she reached out to take it and check it.
For a moment, there was silence in the hall, all eyes were focused on Jia Mu, while Wang Xifeng on the side was curious, wondering whether to take a peek.
After half a cup of tea, Jia Mu's face turned black and purple. She slapped the account books on several cases and said sternly: "Brother Yun, are these all true?"
No wonder Jia Mu was so angry at this time, these things are really terrifying.
Lai Er, a rebellious boy, used the name of the housekeeper to embezzle Dongfu's money overtly or covertly, as much as tens of thousands of taels a year. In the past few decades, it is probably no less than five or six hundred thousand taels. This is the loyalty of the Jia family.
A good slave.
Not only that, but these unscrupulous slaves like Lai Er also used the name of the Duke's Palace to bully men and dominate women, take possession of other people's businesses, and plunder a lot of money. All of this was recorded in the government office. This is something that cannot be faked.
, the things that Jia Yun handed over earlier also had the documents of the government. Although these things cannot be borrowed, they can't get them because of the power of the Duke's government?
Since Jia Yun wanted to clean up these people, he was naturally well prepared.
"Without evidence, how could this kid go to war in such a big way?
It clearly states how much money Dongfu has been embezzled over the years, and how people used the banner of Dongfu to buy land outside, and even cause lawsuits over human lives.
If I hadn't asked someone to go to the government office for verification, how would I have known that these dog slaves in the government were so lawless? The masters were frugal and frugal in food and clothing, so that they would eat a lot of food one by one. If they didn't care anymore, Dongfu would
Sooner or later, all the family property here will be stolen."
At this time, Jia She in the hall was shocked when he heard this. The family property in Dongfu had been stolen by the people below. He didn't know this, but listening to Jia Yun's words, it seemed that these people were quite greedy.
So Jia She became gloating about his misfortune and asked with a smile: "Brother Yun, are you telling the truth?"
Although Jia Yun looked down on Jia She, he still responded: "Uncle She, don't even think about making fun of me in the East House. Your West House is not much better. As far as I know, dozens of people in your West House are no better."
Over the years, at least hundreds of thousands of taels of silver have been stolen by the people below."
"hiss......"
Hearing this, everyone was horrified, especially Wang Xifeng, whose eyes revealed a bright light. These hundreds of thousands of taels of silver were not a small amount.
After pondering for a moment, Jia Mu said with a gloomy face: "Brother Yun, what are you going to do now?"
Judging from this tone, Jia Mu seems to have softened her temper.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Jia Yun said calmly: "I have nothing to do with the affairs of the West Mansion. As for the people of the East Mansion, they can be punished as they should be. What's there to say? Even if they fled to the West Mansion for refuge, that's not the case.
No one can escape."
Just as Jia Yun said, in the East Mansion, Jia Yun can do whatever he wants, and Jia Mu and others can't say anything. But in the West Mansion, they have the final say, and even if Jia Yun is the clan leader, they can't have much control.
Jia Mu looked around. Everyone had different expressions. Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing on the side looked ugly. Jia Mu suddenly remembered that many people in the West Mansion were the companions of these ladies...
"You are also a bastard. The East and West Houses are all people named Jia, how can they be separated?"
Hearing what Jia Mu said, Jia Yun was immediately startled. Jia Mu meant that she planned to let Jia Yun handle it all. It seemed that the numbers shown in these account books really chilled Jia Mu's heart, and she let go of the power of the housekeeper.
, these people made the mansion a mess, crying and pretending to be poor, which made her have to do her own private work. She thought that the Duke's mansion had a great cause, but there was no successful person in the mansion.
A lot of money was spent, who would have thought, it was all wasted by others.
At this time, unable to wait for Jia Yun to agree, Jia She said: "Mother, Brother Yun's East Mansion is still in a mess, so we won't bother him with the affairs of our West Mansion. It's better for us to handle it ourselves. Mother said so."
""
According to Jia Yun's words, people in Xifu have embezzled a lot of money. If Jia Yun is allowed to handle it, Jia Yun will not be allowed to take advantage of the wealth, conceal it, and enrich himself.
Such a large sum of money could not even be controlled by a "steady" first-class general like him, let alone a young man like Jia Yun who still had to be careful.
It's okay if Jia She doesn't speak. When she opens her mouth, Jia She still doesn't know what Jia She is thinking. She doesn't know the virtues of her eldest son. If Jia She is asked to investigate, she doesn't know what the trouble will be.
Although Jia's mother looked down upon Jia Yun's rebelliousness, she had to say that she was much more reliable in handling matters than other children in the clan.
After pondering for a moment, Jia Mu felt that even if she didn't like her eldest son, she couldn't disgrace him in public. She endured the unhappiness in her heart and said lightly: "There are young people in the family, and you, the elder, need to personally do it." What are you doing with your hands?"
When Jia She heard this, he felt anxious and said hurriedly: "But..."
Before she could say this neatly, Jia Mu said impatiently: "Okay, let's do it like this!"
Jia She didn't dare to be disrespectful to Jia's mother, so he could only shut up in anger.
Then Jia Mu said to Jia Yun: "Since you also want to deal with the people who fled to Xifu, let's deal with them together."
Jia Yun frowned when he heard this. He just wanted to clean up his East Mansion, but Jia Yun didn't want to interfere with the affairs of the West Mansion. He made clear the interests and risks, and it was also to get rid of the Lai family all together, to cut the grass without eradicating the roots, and the spring equinox blew again. He still knows this truth.
After pondering for a moment, Jia Yun didn't care, so he said: "I'm afraid I won't be able to handle the affairs of Xifu alone, so I'd better ask someone from Xifu to help me."
After hearing this, Jia Mu raised her eyes to look at Jia Yun, and it suddenly became more pleasing to her eyes. Jia Mu also had concerns about what Jia She was worried about, but she couldn't speak out. After all, she had to be careful when asking people to do things. He has no temper? Especially when he is a rebellious and rebellious person.
At this time, since Jia Yun could bring it up on his own, it was in line with Jia Mu's wishes, so he said, "Well, your second aunt Lian is also a housekeeper, so let her follow."
Wang Xifeng on the side suddenly smiled like a flower after hearing this, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Don't worry, ancestors, my grandson's wife will definitely help Brother Yun."
Then Wang Xifeng smiled at Jia Yun and said, "Brother Yun, let's go!"
Jia Yun curled his lips and said seriously: "Old lady, let's find someone else!"
Wang Xifeng's face suddenly darkened when she heard this. Mother Jia seemed to hear the implication of Jia Yun's words and asked hurriedly: "Brother Yun, is there anything wrong?"
Jia Yun was not in a hurry, and immediately took out the book he had prepared long ago, handed it to the old lady and said: "The old lady should take a look at these things before talking."
Wang Xifeng looked at the book in Jia Yun's hand, and suddenly bad thoughts arose in her heart......
