"The Grand Master has an order: The Lai family and his son have received great kindness from the old lady without thinking of repaying it. They rely on the power of the Jia family to oppress the people externally and enrich themselves internally. Twenty-three members of the Lai family are now arrested and the property of the Lai family is seized. Anyone who dares to stop it ,cut!"
Following Lu Qing's loud shout, Jia Hui's personal soldiers and Jia She's confidants began to rush into Lai's courtyard.
Suddenly, all the servants of the Lai family began to panic.
Aunt Lai was currently enjoying the service of the maids in the backyard when she heard a report from a servant that the eldest master had ordered people to raid the house.
She was also shocked, but she had followed the old lady for decades, so she still had some knowledge.
Not sure if there was any misunderstanding, he quickly led the servants to the front yard.
At this time, Lai Da and Lai Sheng's sons and daughters-in-law also received the news and hurriedly ran towards the front yard.
"stop!"
When I came to the front yard, I saw that Jia Hui's soldiers and some servants of the Jia family had tied up all the people in the house.
Lai Jinrong quickly spoke up and shouted to stop.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Lai Jinrong suddenly became angry and began to order his subordinates to prepare for confrontation with the soldiers.
"Jinrong, stop!"
At this time, Aunt Lai also came to the second door and quickly stopped Lai Jinrong to prevent the matter from getting serious.
He walked up to Lu Qing and said politely:
"This military master, my Lai family is also the old lady's companion after all. Now the deed is still in the Shi family. Without the old lady's permission, I'm afraid the master and the third master can't deal with us!"
As Jia Mu's companion, Aunt Lai is naturally not as impulsive as Lai Jinrong.
He stepped forward and moved Jia Mu out first, and then explained that his deed was still in the Shi family and in Jia Mu's hands.
Lu Qing was temporarily blocked for a while. He had already ordered people to go out over the wall and go to Jia's house to find the old lady to plead for mercy.
It's a pity that Ning Rong's backstreet was already tightly surrounded at this time, and his plan was destined to fail.
Moreover, Lu Qing is a personal soldier of Jia Hui. As long as Jia Hui gives an order, he dares to take charge of even His Majesty's people. How can he care whether the Lai family is a member of the Shi family?
"Aunt Lai, right? Lu only cares about uncle's military orders, no matter what your status is! If you don't want to suffer, don't think about resisting!"
After saying that, he waved his hand and said to the soldiers behind him again:
"Take everyone down, and kill those who resist!"
After hearing this, a group of soldiers began to step forward, preparing to tie up all of Grandma Lai and her party.
"You dare? My family belongs to the old lady, my father and second uncle are the stewards of the two mansions, and my brother is the head of a county. When he receives the news, you will be dead!"
The soldiers didn't care about Lai Jinrong's threat. They stepped forward and punched Lai Jinrong in the stomach.
Under such a severe blow, Lai Jinrong's eyes were in pain, his whole body was weak, and his hands were tied directly by the soldiers.
"You...you...your third master is just a bastard. If the old lady finds out, she won't let you go..."
At this point, Lai Jinrong did not dare to say any more.
Because Lu Qing was already staring at him, as if he was looking at a dead person.
Aunt Lai on the side couldn't believe that Lai Jinrong could even say such words, and quickly prepared to beg Lu Qing for mercy.
But it was already too late. Lu Qing had already drawn his long knife, walked slowly to Lai Jinrong, and said coldly:
"What kind of dog-like thing are you? How dare you criticize the current Emperor Wu! You should be a mute in your next life!"
After saying that, he swung his sword and killed Lai Jinrong directly.
"Jinrong!"
Seeing her grandson die tragically in front of her eyes, Grandma Lai suddenly felt like five thunders were hitting her head, and she cried bitterly towards Lai Jinrong's body.
"This military master has served the Jia family for decades. My Lai family is loyal to me. Just wait for the old lady to deal with you!"
After that, he ordered to go down and tell his children and grandchildren not to resist, hoping that the old lady would be able to make the decision for them after knowing about it.
Not long after, all eighty-seven of the Lai family's masters and servants were arrested. After leaving some people to guard, Lu Qing led people to the Wu family and the Bao family...
All the people with names on the list were arrested.
Jia Zhen, who was working as an errand in Ningguo Mansion, directly led someone to pick them up.
The errand man who worked in Rongguo Mansion was also caught on the spot when he entered and exited the second gate.
Anyone who wanted to tip off the information was also arrested.
It wasn't until the next day that many of the masters discovered that many of the servants who had gone home yesterday had not gone to work today, so they asked people to go out to inquire and found out what happened yesterday when Jia Hui's personal soldiers led people to ransack their homes and take away people.
At this time, after continuous interrogation and inspection day and night, all the family assets of these families were controlled by Jia She and the others.
Their crimes were also tried and clarified one by one, and all that was left was to deal with them.
Even Lai Shangrong and Jia Hui, who were outside the county magistrate, wrote a document with Jia She's seal to the local magistrate, and he would meet his fate when the time comes.
Jia She and Jia Zhen looked at the copied list. The amount of silver alone was no less than 400,000 taels, not to mention the countless antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and farm buildings that had not yet been copied down.
"These thieves are so cruel! They are simply lawless! Damn it! Damn it!"
Looking at the list in their hands, Jia She and the others could no longer suppress their anger and began to curse.
If it hadn't been for the inspection of each house this time, they would never have thought that a mere slave's family would actually be richer than the last.
"Master, Brother Zhen, this is the property sent by Shuntian Mansion to compensate the people in the city. You two should take a look!"
Seeing that the two of them were reluctant to let go of the list of belongings, Jia Hui handed them another list.
"These should only be half. There are still many people in Shuntian Mansion who are recording it. If we add it all up, we only need about 150,000 taels of silver!"
"ah!"
When the two heard Jia Hui's words and looked at the list in their hands, their faces suddenly showed reluctance.
"Brother Hui, now that Shuntian Mansion has dealt with the clan members one by one, and those untouchables have also taken revenge, why should we compensate them?"
"Yes, Brother Hui, what kind of people are we? We don't care what those untouchables do. This is 150,000 taels of silver. If you don't feel bad, we still feel bad!"
"Why, this is what we agreed before, do you want to go back on it?"
Jia Hui's tone instantly turned cold.
The two were silent for a while after hearing this, and finally Jia She took the lead and said:
"This is our Jia family's money, why should we give it to them for free? I don't agree with it anyway!"
"Brother Hui, if I'm not my brother, I regret it. You've done too much! At worst, I'll give you 10,000 taels, and you can pay them back!"
When Jia She spoke, Jia Zhen also began to express her position and was ready to go back on her word.
"Haha! Master, Brother Zhen, your Majesty is watching. Do you really want to regret it?"
When the two heard the word "Your Majesty," hesitation flashed across their faces, but in the end they firmed up and turned away from looking at Jia Hui.
"Hmph! In that case, I will write a note in the title book to inform Your Majesty to spread all this money!"
"The worst case scenario is that no one wants it! I want to see if you still dare to fight for these properties in front of His Majesty!"
After saying that, they made preparations to leave. Seeing that Jia Hui didn't seem to be joking, the two of them began to panic!
"Brother Hui!" "Brother Hui!"
When Jia Hui walked to the door, the two of them, one on the left and one on the right, grabbed Jia Hui!
"Brother Hui, don't worry! I just made a joke to you, why are you still angry!"
After pulling Jia Hui into the room again, the two of them stopped saying any words of regret, showed expressions like their dead fathers, and agreed to let Jia Hui take out the 150,000 taels of silver first!
"First Master, Third Master, the old lady is letting you pass at Rongxi Hall!"
Following the report from the servant, Jia She and the other two showed a trace of panic on their faces, and they looked at Jia Hui at the same time.
