Chapter 32: Being an official, searching for others.

 When Grandma Lai woke up, she found that her second daughter-in-law had been taken away, and her family suffered a crisis of trust.

He immediately ran to Jia Mu to cry and express his loyalty to Jia Mu.

Grandma Lai is a good person and does not intercede for her second son at all. Instead, she says that her sons have done something wrong and they are unworthy of their trust.

I am ashamed of the kindness given to Jia Mu.

When Mother Jia heard her cry, she felt much softer in her heart as she appreciated Aunt Lai's contribution to the Jia family.

"You go back and arrange Lai Rong properly. I'll take care of Brother Rong."

Jia Mu called Qingwen to see off Aunt Lai.

Mother Jia sees many things, she is a girl from the Xungui family.

She is aware of the changes in her family's home, but she is also old and has insufficient energy.

"It can't be taken care of anymore, let the young people take care of it."

But she still sent someone to call Jia Rong.

When she saw Jia Rong, she had a cold face.

When Jia Rong saw this, she immediately knelt down.

Would Mother Jia be happy if she killed her favorite grandma's son?

Since nothing can make her happy, then just accept it honestly.

In the universe, filial piety is the most important thing. If there are any disrespectful remarks against Jia Mu, it will be more heartbreaking than his remarks about raising unruly slaves and killing people.

"The boy knows he was wrong."

Jia Mu continued to have a gloomy face, leaning on the pillow and saying nothing.

"I know, kid, I need to tell you about this in advance.

But, boy..."

Jia Rong wiped her tears and said with a choked voice: "The kid is also dizzy with anger."

"This morning, I was in class at the college and heard word from outside that some government officials were looking for me.

When the boy went out, he found out that it was Lai Rong who committed the murder. That's okay, go and have a look."

Jia Rong sobbed, "I didn't believe it at first, but I swore to the adults that Lai Rong was definitely a good person.

But they all looked at the boy like a fool, and their half-hearted sneers were like countless knives thrust into the boy's heart."

Jia Rong wiped her tears with both hands and said: "The boy openly argued with the adults in the court, and Lai Er also swore that Lai Rong was not the one who killed him.

But the Lord brought out personal and material evidence, and even brought up Lai Rong's follower Lao Laosi.

Everyone identified him as the person Lai Rong killed. What does this mean for me?"

"Ancestor, you don't know how hurtful those mocking faces are."

Mother Jia's expression softened, and she felt uncomfortable when Jia Rong cried.

But I don’t want to let him go just like this.

Jia Rong noticed the change in her expression, so she cried and knelt forward and said: "When I walked out of the gate of the government office, the people who were watching looked at me like a fool. Some even wanted to throw rotten eggs and rotten cabbage in my face.

Up."

"I also heard someone shouting that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. The slaves are so bad that the master is no better."

Jia Mu was furious: "That's nonsense. Who said it? Catch him and question him."

Wang Xifeng, who was waiting outside, heard Jia Mu's anger and immediately stepped inside.

"Brother Rong, you are too confused, how can you make our ancestors angry?"

Jia Rong turned around: Why did you come?

Wang Xifeng stood next to Jia Mu and fanned herself with a cattail leaf fan to calm her down.

"These men do things regardless of the consequences. None of them are as cute as little girls. Grandpa, please calm down and don't get angry."

Jia Mu paused for a moment, and Wang Xifeng served Jia Mu a sip of ginseng tea.

Wang Xifeng whispered: "Rong is a scholar after all. He will also take the exam next year, so let him stand and speak."

Jia Mu remained silent.

Wang Xifeng kicked Jia Rong with her heels to signal him to get up.

Jia Rong stood up, bowed and said, "Thank you, ancestors."

Wang Xifeng sternly scolded, "If you don't tell me what happened quickly, if you make our ancestors angry again, let's see if I don't tear your mouth apart."

Jia Rong choked up and told Jia Mu what Lao Si said.

"Not only the boy heard these words, but also the people who were watching."

Mother Jia was so angry that she slapped the pillow.

Jia Mu: "How can it be unreasonable? I treat them well, but I would repay them like this."

"This matter is also our own business. We work behind closed doors and can't make any more trouble." Wang Xifeng elaborated.

When she returned to Rongguo Mansion, she began to check the accounts, first checking her own to see what was missing and who stole it.

I went to check the public accounts again and found that many valuable items were missing.

These rotten bastards deserve to die.

Jia Rong bowed to Jia Mu and said: "The boy really knows that he is wrong. During the day, he was blinded by lard. He only wanted to vent his anger and let them remember, so he walked across the street to see him off at the Yamen."

Regarding Grandma Lai's family, Jia Mu couldn't make up her mind at the moment.

Wang Xifeng: "Let Brother Rong go back to study. We will make a decision when the second master comes back."

Jia Mu closed her eyes.

Wang Xifeng waved Jia Rong to leave.

When Jia Zheng was in the government office, he knew that Jia Rong was doing something earth-shattering and had to go home from get off work early.

He called Jia Rong to scold him, "How can you be so fierce with the elderly at home?"

"Even if they make a mistake, they cannot be arrested and taken to see the officials. You have to discuss it with us and then deal with it slowly."

"Lai Er is loyal, but he is just greedy for a little money. How can you put their family to death?"

"Did you know that in the tea house, our two families are the most talked about in the streets?

My face has been completely embarrassed by you."

Facing Jia Zheng, Jia Rong adopted a different attitude.

Jia Zheng ignores household affairs and is so angry today just for his own sake.

Just listen to it and you’ll be fine.

When Jia Zheng stopped to drink tea, Jia Rong said: "They have some murder cases and dirty things in their hands. If we don't get rid of them, it will be difficult for our government in the future."

"The government has a large population and is bloated. If we feed them with fame and fortune today, they will not be grateful to us in the future."

For example, Lai Da's son Lai Shangrong received the favor of the Rongguo Mansion and got rid of his slave status. He also used the money given by the Rongguo Mansion to donate the official position of a county magistrate.

But this person is not a good person.

Being an official, searching for others.

After the Rongguo Mansion was ransacked, Jia Zheng escorted Jia Mu's coffin back to his hometown for burial. The money on the road was not enough to pay the toll, so he wrote to Lai Shangrong asking for 500 taels of silver.

But the other party only gave fifty taels of silver.

The amount of money just donated to Lai Shangrong was more than 500 taels, but he was so ungrateful that he only gave 50 taels.

Can we have such a person?

It's better to kill them all.

Jia Rong will not tell Jia Zheng about these things that have not happened.

In his eyes, Grandma Lai and her family are all mosquitoes, they only know how to suck blood and have no sense of gratitude.

The anger in Jia Zheng's heart dissipated, and he had no idea when facing Brother Rong in front of him.

I punished, but I didn’t want to punish; I scolded, but I also scolded.

"You go back."

"Boy, please leave."

Jia Rong did not go back immediately, but turned around and went to the backyard of Rongguo Mansion.

When he met someone, he said to go find Xichun.

When no one was around, he turned another corner and went to a secluded place.
