Li Biao took Jingxu down, and then bursts of screams came from the distance.
After a while, the sound stopped.
Everyone's hearts suddenly trembled. Was he really beaten to death?
When Wang Xifeng saw this, not only was she not afraid, she was actually a little excited.
He is worthy of being a warrior who has returned from the battlefield. He is really decisive in killing. He kills people when he is told, without blinking an eye.
Youshi and Qin Keqing had already seen Jia Cong's ruthlessness when he was reorganizing the Ningguo Mansion, so they didn't care much about it.
It was the first time for Li Wan to see this situation. He was a little scared and his face turned pale with fear.
Qin Zhong and Jia Baoyu were so frightened that they lowered their heads and did not dare to say a word.
He actually killed people when he said he would kill them. He was so cruel. It would be better not to mess with such people in the future.
Jia Cong's move scared the two guys.
Jia Cong walked up to Xichun, touched her head, and asked, "Is my sister afraid?"
Xichun leaned next to Jia Cong, nodded and shook her head, saying, "As long as my brother is here, I'm not afraid of anything."
Although he said he was not afraid, his face was still a little pale.
Looking at Zhi'er on the side, the little nun didn't seem to be afraid at all.
After a while, Li Biao came over with a ledger.
"Master Marquis, the search has been completed. A total of more than 30,000 taels of silver were found in Jingxu's room. We also searched other places and asked everyone in the nunnery. Except for Jingxu, everyone else They are all considered victims, and there are a few old nuns who just mind their own business."
Unexpectedly, this old nun Jingxu had saved a lot of money. The remaining people couldn't be driven away. If they were driven out, they would have nowhere to go and the outcome would not be good.
"Li Biao, go and tell them that if they want to return to secular life, you can give them travel expenses and let them leave. If they don't want to leave, then they can stay here and concentrate on worshiping Buddha. If the same thing as before happens again, everyone involved will be thrown into the pond."
Several women were shocked when they heard this. This man is really cruel and disgusted with these things.
Li Biao cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Mr. Marquis, I will go down and inform them. If anyone is willing to return to secular life, I will give them travel expenses to let them leave."
Jia Cong opened the account book and took a look, and was immediately attracted by the contents inside.
Jingxu, an old nun, is really good at keeping track of the guests who have visited Shuiyue Temple.
The name, family background, as well as the number of visits and who received them are all clearly recorded. This is perfect evidence of guilt.
I don’t know what Jingxu was thinking, but he actually recorded these things.
Jia Cong looked through it carefully. They were all rich and powerful people, some were officials, and there were a few he knew.
These women who receive guests are not serious nuns.
Instead, they were aunts, concubines, and the like who came from the courtyards of wealthy families. Some were kicked out and had nowhere to go, so they had to live in nunneries. Some were sold to Jingxu by the mistress of the house.
Why don't Jingxu take Zhiji'er and a few other apprentices around every day to visit various wealthy families? One is to help others and earn some money, and the other is to attract customers.
He closed the account book and put it away after thinking about it.
This thing is of little use to Jia Cong for the time being, but that doesn't mean it won't be useful in the future. Maybe it will be used some time.
Jia Cong looked at Zhi'er and said: "Zhi'er, you have two choices. If you want to return to secular life, I can also pay you to leave, but you'd better have a safe place to go, otherwise, like you It will be even more difficult for such girls to live outside."
Zhi'er blinked and asked, "Master Hou, what is the second option?"
"The second option is to stay in the nunnery and stay with the Ancient Buddha of Qingdeng. I can let you be the host here and leave you part of this money. Ningguo Mansion can also be your backer. .
But there is one thing you have to remember. From now on, the nunnery must be clean and there should be no more dirty things, otherwise your master will be your fate. "
Zhi'er struggled in her heart for a long time. She wanted to return to secular life and live a normal woman's life.
However, this position of host is also very attractive to her, and with Ningguo Mansion as her backer, no one dares to cause trouble.
He looked up at Jia Cong and asked, "Master Marquis, if I return to secular life, can I follow you?"
Jia Cong was stunned when he heard this. This smart guy really dared to think and wanted to climb a high branch.
This smart girl followed her master and walked among various wealthy families, so she should know some of the rules of wealthy families.
Some wealthy families that pay attention to rules do not allow people who have been nuns to enter their homes, let alone women who have stayed in brothels.
You can play with it outside as much as you like, but you can't bring it into your home.
Men generally don't care, mainly the women in the family are firmly opposed to it.
The hostesses of these wealthy families are basically rich ladies from wealthy families. They attach great importance to their status. They feel that living with these people under the same roof lowers their status and is a shame for them.
Once such a person appears in one's own home, as the hostess of the home, she will become a laughing stock in the circle of these ladies.
For the sake of peace in the home, men generally follow these rules.
After all, the hostess is in charge of the back house, so if you bring her back without caring about it, you probably won't end up well.
Just look at Wang Xifeng and you will know that there is no second woman around Jia Lian. Once she appears, she will disappear soon.
"no."
"no."
Before Jia Cong could speak, You and Wang Xifeng said in unison.
"Brother Cong, we cannot agree to this matter, and the old lady will not agree to it either."
Jia Cong smiled and said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I know what's going on."
He turned to Zhi'er and said, "Zhi'er, you've seen it too. It's not easy to get into my house. You'd better give up this idea. If you want to return to secular life, you have nowhere to go. I can let you go to my village." It won’t be a problem to work and support yourself, then find someone to marry and live a good life.”
Zhi'er said: "Master Hou, I'd better stay in the nunnery. Do you really want me to be the host?"
"Of course, now that you have made your choice, you will be the host here from this moment on. However, this Shuiyue Temple and Mantou Temple are not good choices at first sight. Let's call it Qingjing Temple from now on."
Zhi'er said: "I listen to the Marquis, and everything is decided by the Marquis."
Later, in front of all the nuns, it was announced that Zhi'er would take over as the abbot of Qingjing Temple, and the matter was considered to be over.
He also asked people to bring Baoyu and Qin Zhong back to Tiexuan Temple.
This time even Baoyu didn't dare to say anything anymore, and obediently went to Tieksuan Temple with Qin Zhong.
Seeing that everyone had left, Wang Xifeng came up and asked, "Brother Cong, what are you going to do with the money you copied?"
Jia Cong suddenly realized that the second sister-in-law's money-obsessed habit had occurred again.
Now Wang Xifeng is not short of money at all. Jia's mining industry has now expanded to more than a dozen cities, and the annual dividends are 50,000 to 60,000 taels of silver, which belongs to her and Jia Lian.
Zhuangzi on the Black Mountain side of Liaodong has greatly increased its output after its own rectification. Jia Cong purchased all the grain produced and gave Rongfu more than 20,000 taels of silver every year.
There are also some of their own store profits, which are quite a lot every year.
All this money is under the control of Wang Xifeng, which can be said to be very wealthy.
Now that he saw that he had copied Shuiyue An, he was jealous again.
I don't intend to take this money, I will leave it to Zhi'er so that she can maintain my daily consumption.
Jia Cong thought for a while and said, "Sister-in-law, I plan to leave this money to Qingjing Nunnery. If there is no income in the future, they also need to live. However, it is my brother's fault that you were frightened today.
Let's do this. Each of the three sisters-in-law will get a thousand taels, and Brother Rong's daughter-in-law and fourth sister will each get a thousand taels. This will give you a shock.
In addition, Brother Huan also received one thousand taels, and Li Biao also received one thousand taels. The guards who participated in the house raid today each received one hundred taels, and the rest was left to Zhi'er to maintain the daily expenses of the Qingjing nunnery. "
Li Biao cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Lord Marquis, for the reward."
Jia Huan was extremely happy when he heard this. This was really pie in the sky. He had never seen so much money before. The third brother was really interesting.
"Thank you, Third Brother, Third Brother is still kind to me."
Wang Xifeng smiled and said, "Brother Cong is really generous. With just one mouthful of yours, nearly ten thousand taels of silver are gone. You are truly wealthy."
Jia Cong said: "Sister-in-law, you are joking. Your current net worth is not much worse than mine. This little money is just pocket money for you."
Li Wanping got a thousand taels of silver for nothing, and he was very happy. This was equivalent to his monthly salary for four years, which was not a small amount of money.
"Thank you, brother Cong. My sister-in-law knows your feelings."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "My family is nothing, my sister-in-law doesn't need to be polite."
Youshi and Qin Keqing lived with Jia Cong and lacked nothing. Xichun was still young and could not spend much money, but naturally they would not refuse it if it was free.
The three of them also thanked each other, and everyone was happy.
Jia Cong glanced at everyone and said, "Don't talk about this matter to outsiders, so as not to cause trouble. Li Biao, you arrange a team of guards to be stationed near Qingjing Nunnery for three months."
Any man who comes within ten feet of Qingjing Nunnery, no matter who he is, will be beaten with thirty military sticks. If there are those who sneak into Qingjing Nunnery, they must be here to find Jingxu, so let them go and send them away. See Jingxu. "
The unabashed murderous intent in Jia Cong's words made the women around him shudder.
He secretly thought in his heart that he was worthy of being a warrior who fought on the battlefield and was victorious in every battle. He killed people as soon as he opened his mouth and regarded human life as nothing. He was really audacious.
Li Biao said: "Yes, Lord Marquis, I will go down and make arrangements right now."
Seeing Jia Cong's arrangement, Zhi'er was finally relieved. She was also worried that she would not be able to suppress the old nuns. With these people around, no one would dare to prick her. After three months, she would be able to gain a firm foothold.
Zhi'er said, "Thank you so much for everything you have done for Qingjing'an. We will pray for you every day and wish you peace and prosperity, and good luck in martial arts."
Jia Cong smiled and said, "You girl is good at talking. Don't worry. Ningguo Mansion will be responsible for supplying your daily expenses from Qingjing Nunnery. You don't need to go out to work for money anymore. You just need to pay homage to Buddha with peace of mind."
If you encounter difficulties in the future, you can go to Ningguo Mansion to ask Grandma for help. "
Zhi'er said: "I understand, Mr. Hou."
······
In the blink of an eye, three days passed quickly.
Tiekan Temple ended the Anling ritual, and Jia Jing's funeral was completely over.
A group of people left Tieksuan Temple and headed back home.
Jia Cong returned to Ningguo Mansion and took a comfortable hot bath under the service of Yuanyang, Xiren and others.
While Yuanyang was massaging Jia Cong, he asked, "Master Marquis, will you stay at home from now on?"
Jia Cong said: "Well, I should stay at home. Not only observe mourning for three years, but at least three months. After a hundred days, we will wait. After that, it depends on the wishes of the court. I am also a member of the court now." I have appointed an official, and I need to obey the court’s arrangements.”
The attacker asked: "Master Marquis, will the court allow you to go to Liaodong again? If so, please take us with you so that we can take care of you."
"The civil servants in the imperial court are afraid that if I perform meritorious services again, they will not let me return to Liaodong. They should arrange a position for me in the capital. As for what position, it depends on the emperor's wishes. This is also good. I can work in I’ll spend more time with you at home.”
Yuanyang said: "It's good to be in the capital. It's safer this way, and we don't have to worry at home all day long. The Marquis has been fighting outside for more than three years, so it's time for him to take a good rest."
Jia Cong smiled and said, "That's right. I also want to have a good rest, have fun, and spend time with you."
At this time, Ping'er walked in with the account book.
"Master Marquis, these are all the accounts during this period. Do you want to take a look at them?"
Jia Cong said: "No, just take a look and see if there are no problems. The list of gifts should be sorted out so that we can have a reference when giving gifts in the future."
Ping'er said: "Well, everything has been sorted out. This time there are many more people attending the ceremony than in previous years, and some unfamiliar people also came to attend the ceremony."
"It's normal. After all, my status is different now. Some people want to use this to get closer to each other so that they can be easier to talk to when something happens in the future."
Yuanyang smiled and said: "These people are quite good at seizing the opportunity and taking this opportunity to get into the sight of the Marquis."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "The situation is like this, we have to learn to adapt. By the way, is Da Yu'er still used to being here?"
Yuanyang said: "Qingwen has been accompanying her during this period. When she first came here, she was curious about everything here. During this time, she traveled all over the house. I also taught them some of our etiquette every day. I learn pretty quickly, but I’m a bit playful.”
After all, Da Yu'er is used to being free on the prairie. Suddenly coming to a strange environment, she may be a little uncomfortable.
However, Da Yuer is not an ordinary person. She should get used to it after getting used to it. It is said that women have very strong adaptability.
In the next few days, Jia Cong didn't go anywhere. Except for daily practice, he stayed in the back house, playing with these women, and also played with Dayu'er for a few days.
I took her for a walk in Huifang Garden. The scenery here was completely different from that on the grassland, with small bridges, flowing water, pavilions and pavilions. It was a southern scenery that amazed Da Yu'er when she saw it for the first time.
She fell in love with the scenery in the garden and often took Lagu Suma and Qingwen to play in Huifang Garden.
