The next day.
Early in the morning, Jia Zheng went to work in the court.
The nine-to-five yamen life is so boring and boring.
Jia Zheng went to the court as an errand, and a domestic servant ran over to inform Princess Huo, saying: "Grandma, I have gone to the Yamen. I will be busy until the evening before I can come back."
Princess Huo was waiting for her words.
Jia Zheng was a pedantic man, a pure Confucian rotten gentleman.
It is undoubtedly difficult for such a character to use money to impress Jia Zheng. .
Therefore, Princess Huo and the others came to the conclusion that they should hide it from the old lady Jia Mu, and they should also hide it from the second master Jia Zheng.
Anyway, when Jia Zheng almost went to court, he went to court on time every day and never slacked off for a day.
There is no need to worry that Jia Zheng suddenly stopped going to court and stayed at home all day.
After Jia Zheng left, Princess Huo ordered someone to call Lin Zhixiao.
This Lin Zhixiao is the father of Lin Hongyu, Jia Yun's concubine in Yun Mansion, and the accountant of Rongguo Mansion.
Lin Zhixiao handles all the daily accounting and entry-exit registrations in the Rongguo Mansion.
It can be said that such a key position can be placed in the hands of Lin Zhixiao, which is enough to show that this person is trustworthy.
At least in the eyes of Jia Mu and others, Lin Zhixiao was trustworthy.
Now that this person has Hong'er's level of connection, he is naturally the best candidate to implement this plan.
As the saying goes, things come together in secret.
Especially in the investigation of Lai Da, absolute confidentiality is required.
It would be a disaster if the secret was leaked and allowed Lai Da and others to run away with their assets in advance.
Now the opportunity has come.
Jia Zheng went out to court, Jia's mother was dragged by the mandarin ducks, and everyone else in the house was taken care of. It was time to play a good show of outsmarting Lai Da.
Princess Huo mobilized her troops and dispatched her generals. First she called for Lin Zhixiao and ordered: "Go find a few reliable servants, and ask the servants in your husband's house to follow you. Those servants are all beside your husband." He has been with your husband for many years, so he can be used. You gather together, and then, in the name of the second master, invite Lai Da to come over, and say that the second master has something to discuss with him today. Go..."
After saying that, Lin Zhixiao nodded and went down to do errands.
After a while, Jia Baoyu also came, looked at Princess Huo and asked, "How is the situation?"
Princess Huo smiled and said, "Everything goes well."
Suddenly, a person at the door came over and said, "Second Master, Uncle Lai is here."
Because Lai Da is in charge of the affairs outside the Rongguo Mansion, he is a very powerful figure in the Rongguo Mansion.
Even Jia Baoyu and others were very polite to Lai Da.
Speaking of which, Jia Baoyu also had a relatively good relationship and contacts with Lai Shangrong, Lai Da's son.
Jia Baoyu looked at Princess Huo and said, "After we deal with Lai Da, what will happen to the others?"
Princess Huo snorted coldly and said: "You can handle it as you want. Husband, I know that you are kind in your heart, but kindness and kindness will not work in this place.".bμν.
As a child of a powerful family, there are very few people as innocent as Jia Baoyu.
Princess Huo was born in the Prince's Palace of Nan'an, so she naturally understood the cruelty involved.
Those people outside don't have enough to eat or wear, and it's a luxury to have a full meal, let alone enjoy it.
All of this is based on power.
Once they lose their power, they will be no different from ordinary people outside, or even worse.
Even the maids in the Rongguo Mansion understood this truth, but Jia Baoyu was so well protected that she didn't quite understand the truth behind this matter.
Princess Huo was not willing to talk about these things with Jia Baoyu.
Because, she knew clearly in her heart that even if she told Jia Baoyu about this matter, she was afraid that Jia Baoyu would
It cannot be understood clearly either.
It would be better not to say anything.
Today, Lai Da was confused. Jia Baoyu, who had never called him over, suddenly ordered someone to come over and call him to give orders. He hurriedly grabbed the servant who was delivering the message and asked: "Mingyan, what's the matter?" Tell me, why did Master Bao call me here today?"
However, Mingyan had already received the news and knew that Lai Da was going to be dealt with today. She also smiled and said perfunctorily: "I don't know why the second master is so crazy today and wants to ask the uncle to go over and do something. But, It can't be anything bad. Master, you'd better go quickly! If you go late and the second master loses his temper, I'm afraid whoever comes will not listen to advice, and you and I will both be in trouble."
After listening to Ming Yan's words, Lai Da immediately nodded and said, "Well, that's what Second Master ordered us to do. Let's go quickly!"
After that, Lai Da followed Mingyan to Jia Baoyu's yard.
But who knew that as soon as Lai Da stepped into Jia Baoyu's yard, he was hugged by Ming Yan from behind.
At the same time, Mingyan's mouth was still shouting: "Don't be stupid, Lai Da, something happened to you today, and the second master is about to take you! I advise you to give up the struggle, otherwise , you will suffer a lot when we take action."
After that, Mingyan shouted loudly: "Come out quickly and help me get someone!"
Suddenly, a total of eighteen servants in the family who had been ambushed in advance came out from all over the place, surrounding Laida and preventing him from leaving.
When Lai Da saw this, he naturally struggled to his death.
If we were to surrender, wouldn't all our glory and wealth be lost?
For a moment, Lai Da became so violent that he broke free from the restraints of Mingyan and planned to run back.
Unexpectedly, other people rushed forward and quickly subdued Lai Da.
As the saying goes, a random punch will kill the old master.
Lai Daben is already old, and it is common for him to suffer from physical fatigue.
These people called by Princess Huo are all young and strong men, and their strength can naturally overpower this big guy.
Moreover, for the sake of safety, Princess Huo even called over a dozen strong young men. Naturally, she easily caught Lai Da, tied him up with a thick rope, and brought him to the house. Jia Baoyu came forward and said, "Second Master, we have arrested Lai Da. It's all based on Second Master's orders."
Jia Baoyu looked at Lai Dayi with hesitation on his face, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.
Immediately, Jia Baoyu looked at Princess Huo next to him and said, "This... what should I do?"
Lai Da glanced at Jia Baoyu, and his face looked calm and calm.
Along the way, he had witnessed many strong winds and waves. Even this little thing could not scare him. He looked at Jia Baoyu and asked, "Second Master, what are you doing? What are you doing to me?" "
However, Princess Huo took the topic and sneered: "You're such a lazy guy, you're about to die, don't you know what you've committed?"
