Jia She abruptly stopped crying and burped loudly, "Master, I'm sorry."
Is what you said true? "
"Yes, yes. When have I ever lied to you? Hurry up and get up. "
Of course, he had lied,
And more than once. But those were all to mess with him,
He was quite reliable in business.
Jia Xie muttered in her heart,
After standing up, she reminded him worriedly, "Master, you must remember, don't forget."
Why didn't he realize that Jia Xie was so?? ..
Shuijing rolled her eyes and couldn't be bothered to pay attention to him.
Lin Ruhai was completely confused. He didn't understand why Jia Xie was more like a victim than him. He finally came back to his senses,
He couldn't help but say angrily, "Jia Xie, what do you mean!? Are you saying that I'm falsely accusing you and your father? "
Jia Xie sniffed hard and looked at Lin Ruhai from the corner of her eyes. She sneered, "It was the Old Madam who harmed you and Minmei. It's written in black and white. Don't blame me. Humph! So what if Minmei is the daughter of the Jia family,
So what if brother Mo is the grandson of the Jia family? My Hu Ge 'er is the eldest grandson of the Jia family. The Old Madam also watched him be killed. The Old Madam didn't mean to harm Minmei and brother Mo. She never thought of harming them. My Hu Ge 'er is the one who has the bad luck of eight lifetimes to have such a grandmother who wants him to die early. "
"You, you mean …" Lin Ruhai's eyes widened,
He opened his mouth and almost couldn't speak.
As the saying goes, don't wash your dirty linen in public. The pickles in other people's houses? They couldn't wait to cover up this matter tightly,
They were afraid that outsiders would know. Jia Xie didn't feel embarrassed at all,
She couldn't wait to tell the whole world about the pickles in her house? This matter.
"Who in the entire capital doesn't know that my Brother Lian lives with the second branch?
She had to take care of Jia Zheng's household chores. She did not look like the heir of Rongguo Province at all. He can't even order the servants of Rongguo Province, so how can he order Minmei's escorts? " Jia Xie sneered, "Old Madam wants to give all the good things to the second branch. She even gave Brother Lian's place in the Imperial College to Jia Zhu. Unfortunately, Jia Zhu did not have the fortune to enjoy it. He had received too many blessings that were not supposed to be his, so he died of exhaustion. Why do you think the Old Madam is still getting involved in the fight for the throne at such an old age? Isn't it just to pave the way for her precious phoenix egg that was born from Hanyu? "
"Rongguo Province is no longer the same as when you married Minmei. The masters don't do anything productive, but the masters and servants are rich, honorable, and pay attention to ostentation. The Wang Clan likes to be a Pixiu. They took almost all of Rongguo Province's money, so they symbolically gave the housekeeping power to Brother Lian's wife. In fact, she is still the housekeeper. My wife is also stupid. She thought that the Wang Clan was worried about her, so she fought for the limelight everywhere to show off. Rongguo Province was already unable to make ends meet, but she still desperately held on and secretly pawned her dowry to make up for Rongguo Province's deficit. The Old Madam's heart is like a mirror. How can these things be hidden from her? She just doesn't want to admit that Rongguo Province has already lost. "
The more Lin Ruhai listened, the more shocked he became. Jia Min often talked about Rongguo Province's scene and grandeur at home. Even the third-class servants ate and wore much better than the madams and young ladies of wealthy families. When he married Jia Min, he also went to Rongguo Province many times. He also agreed with Jia Min's words. He didn't expect that in just a short ten years, Rongguo Province would become so bleak. They even had to rely on their wives to pawn their dowry to maintain the family's daily expenses.
Shuijing and Wen Dongyan thought highly of Jia Xie. They thought that he lived muddle-headedly all these years, but they didn't expect him to know better than anyone else.
"Do you want to know why those escorts only took over the land and finances? It's because these can be exchanged for shining silver. I don't know if Brother Lian knows about these things, but I'm sure that most of the money went into the second branch's pockets. " Jia Xie said bitterly, "In the future, if we investigate, the second branch won't be implicated. The crime will all be my Brother Lian's. Brother Lian's served them sincerely for so many years. They can really bear to let him be a scapegoat just for a lousy title. "
Lin Ruhai opened his mouth and said with difficulty, "Second Brother-in-law is modest and kind … are you … misunderstanding?"
"Modest and kind? Old Madam is kind and benevolent! "Jia Xie said sarcastically," Let's not talk about anything else. Let's talk about my niece, Daiyu. Ah, Brother-in-law, you were very affectionate to Minmei and Mo'er just now. How can you be so cruel to your only daughter? You only let her take a nanny and a maid to the capital. Aren't you afraid that she will be bullied to death? "
Lin Ruhai felt the blood in his body turn cold. His ears were buzzing, "What do you think happened to Daiyu? She didn't have a good life in Rongguo Province? "
"Do you know which gate Daiyu used to enter Rongguo Province?" Jia Xie laughed, "It was the corner gate. This is Daiyu's position in Rongguo Province. "
Lin Ruhai's blood rushed to the top of his head. His vision turned black.
Shuijing and Wen Dongyan also didn't expect that Rongguo Province would treat Lin Daiyu like this. Lin Daiyu was the daughter of a second-rank official and the granddaughter of Rongguo Province. Although she couldn't use the main gate, she could use the side gate.
Gates generally represented a strong color of rank. The main gate was usually only opened for weddings, funerals, or when elders, high-ranking officials, or people of noble status arrived. If Jia Min brought Lin Daiyu back to Rongguo Province, they could also use the main gate. If they used the side gate, their status would naturally be lower than the host's. On the other hand, Jiaomen was mostly used by servants and people of low status to avoid bumping into people of high status.
Jia Xie probably felt that Lin Ruhai's lightning strike wasn't severe enough. She continued, "The servants in Rongguo Province are the most powerful. They are used to flattering the powerful and trampling on the weak. Daiyu entered Rongguo Province in a shabby manner. They all thought that Daiyu was a poor relative who came to ask for money! You don't believe me. Even if you let Daiyu hold a priceless book, those people would only smell the scent of poverty. If you let Daiyu hold a gold ingot, they would treat her like an ancestor. Moreover, those people are all talkative and love to gossip about their masters. Daiyu listens to these gossips all day long. Do you think she can live well? "
"It should be the same person. It seems that Miss Zhen was also three years old at that time. "
Shuijing was puzzled.
Why would a monk want two little girls who were born in a rich nest to follow him? To be a monk or a nun? He had never heard of a monk and a nun mingling together all day long. Even if the two little girls were destined to become monks, they should go to a nunnery to cultivate. Since ancient times, there were many young ladies from official families who went to a nunnery to cultivate. There had never been a monk involved in this. Wasn't this scabby-headed monk a bit like a dog trying to catch a mouse?
"If it wasn't for that incident, I would have thought that this scabby-headed monk was really a human trafficker in the name of saving people."
"Actually, when I first heard about the scabby-headed monk and the crippled Daoist priest, I didn't believe it." Wen Dongyan fanned himself with his goose feather fan and furrowed his brows. "Second Empress and Third Prince had long wanted to fight for the throne. They also had the support of Retired Emperor. After they failed to fight for the throne, they saw that they were about to be killed by Master. They said that it was all because of the scabby-headed monk and the crippled Daoist priest who bewitched them. I thought they were just making excuses. Afterwards, Master disregarded everything and wanted to find these two people. This subordinate only thought that Master was confused by anger. Now it seems that I was wrong. "
"They were indeed making excuses." Shuijing coldly snorted. "It's not like they just wanted to fight for the throne for a day or two. If it wasn't because Da Lan felt that although he could barely deal with them, he couldn't take care of Little Jiu. He wouldn't have written a letter to ask Master to take Little Jiu outside the palace to raise her. As for that scabby-headed monk and the crippled Daoist priest … half a year after Da Lan usurped the throne, their temperaments suddenly changed. Not only did they have a bad temper, they squandered money, and they also wantonly lured beautiful women and kept male companions … "
Shui Lan grew up watching the former Empress being neglected by Retired Emperor. He knew that the former Empress suffered a lot at the hands of those favored concubines in the harem. Therefore, he was very careful in choosing the Crown Prince Consort during the wedding. Because he grew up with Shui Lan, he knew a lot about Yin Si. When Emperor Gaozu was still alive, he often complained to Emperor Gaozu about this. Afterwards, after the Emperor Emeritus ascended the throne, although he had no one to complain to, he still used his status as an elder to intervene in Shui Lan's marriage, breaking the Emperor Emeritus's plot to bestow the daughter of a fifth-rank minor official to Shui Lan. Shui Lan had a good relationship with the Crown Prince Consort. He didn't even have a secondary consort. How could his temperament suddenly change?
Shuijing narrowed his eyes slightly when he thought of this. "That Zhen Shiyin also suddenly left with the crippled Daoist priest without any warning. Do you think they were bewitched by something? "
"… Witchcraft?"
Wen Dongyan was aghast. Witchcraft had been recorded as early as the Qin and Han Dynasties. It was a kind of spell that used a mysterious power to control and influence people and things. The law had long stipulated that anyone who practiced witchcraft would be sentenced to capital punishment and their family members would be exiled three thousand li.
"We've been investigating the people for so many years, so it's not like we haven't seen these things before. However, those people only used methods to harm people and make them sick. They didn't bewitch people's hearts. Perhaps this scabby-headed monk and the crippled Daoist priest's cultivation is deeper than those people's. What I don't understand is what benefits they have from getting involved in the fight for the throne. When Second Empress and Old Third died, I didn't see them come to save them. In these past few years, I also didn't see them interact with the other princes. "
"Miss Zhen and Miss Lin don't seem to have much to do with the fight for the throne. These two people are strange and act strangely. This subordinate is really at his wit's end this time. "Wen Dongyan sighed.
"I just don't believe in this evil." Shuijing knocked on the table and said, "Since they said that the Lin family's girl's illness won't be cured for the rest of her life, then I'll make her healthier than normal people. Only by not seeing relatives can she live a peaceful life … "He seemed to have thought of something and slammed the table." The child born from Rongguo Province with a jade in his mouth! He's called Baoyu, right? How could a normal child be born with a jade in his mouth? I heard there were words on it? "
"Psychic Baoyu, don't forget, don't lose, immortal life and eternal prosperity. First, get rid of evil, second, treat grievances, and third, know fortune and misfortune," Wen Dongyan replied. "When this subordinate first heard about it, I thought it was purposely boasting from Rongguo Province. After all, how old was the child when he was born? How could such a small person hold a jade in his mouth? However, if it's related to the scabby-headed monk and the crippled Daoist priest, it's not impossible. It's nothing more than a smokescreen. As for why they did this, it's still a mystery. "
"Then is Jia Baoyu really blessed?"
"This … this subordinate doesn't know the specifics. En Hou should be very clear. "
"Call him over in a moment. First, send someone to monitor Jia Baoyu and see if we can get any clues from him. "
"Yes."
"Also, what's the matter with the Xue family's girl?" Shuijing suddenly changed the topic. "Minister Lin wants to send someone to investigate whether the Xue Wang Clan has a daughter?"
Wen Dongyan muttered, "It should be related to the dream. After Brother Ruhai woke up from the nightmare, he called Lin Bo to investigate. He told this subordinate that he dreamed that Miss Lin met with misfortune. "
Shuijing thought carefully and said, "Also send someone to investigate the Xue family's girl. See if she's related to the scabby-headed monk and the crippled Daoist priest. Right now, there are too many mysteries. We can't let go of any clues. Also, this … "He pointed to the portrait on the table." Issue an arrest warrant. Say that this person is a human trafficker who has committed a heinous crime. Tell the yamen to be on guard. When capturing this person, regardless of whether he's dead or alive. If someone who isn't a member of the yamen catches him, regardless of whether he's dead or alive, he'll be rewarded. "
