Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

Chapter 438 Iron Blood Emperor 34

At the beginning of the second day, Jia Amnesty, who had guarded Shi's body with his wife all night in Rongqing Hall, hurriedly washed, dressed neatly, and went to Rongxi Hall.I saw that Jia Daishan and Baolinghou had also packed up, and Jia Hu was also dressed neatly.

"Father, uncle." Jia She first saluted the two of them, and then said after Jia Hu saluted himself, "Hu'er, you are taking care of your mother and sister at home today, and you have to stay with your mother and sister. "

Jia Hu was taken aback for a moment, thinking of his mother's gentle disposition and way of handling things, his father was probably afraid that his mother would not be able to suppress those savage old servants in the house.He nodded immediately, "Father, don't worry, the son will take good care of his mother and sister."

Jia Amnesty, the old Duke Rong, and Lord Shi Hou all went to the court today, and the three guards together are very spectacular.After the court meeting, Jia Daishan carried the cloth bag containing the usury receipts, Jia Amnesty carried the account books in his arms and went their separate ways, Shi Houye also handed over the secret book according to the procedure, and then waited for the sage to summon.

Jia Amnesty stepped into the Wenyuan Pavilion where the sage was a director, and saw Imperial Physician Wang walking out.His heart skipped a beat, but luckily his uncle has calmed down!

Jia Amnesty did not dare to go in and out of Wenyuan Pavilion like in the past, and waited for the servant to lead the way in a respectful manner.When he saw the saint, he felt extremely guilty and immediately knelt down.

"Saint, the guilty minister Jia She came to plead guilty to the saint."

"Enhou, get up quickly. What are you going to do? Liufu."

Liufu and Wangcai immediately set up Rongguo Duke Jia Amnesty one by one, and then led everyone back out.

Jia She blushed, and took out the account book from his arms, "Sage, this is an account book for loan sharks."

Jia Amnesty passed it forward, and the sage reached out to take it.The sage looked it over and asked, "This started a month ago?"

"Yes."

"Enhou, you can't tell from this booklet that it's loan sharks. Look carefully, this is the first loan and the first interest received. No one has yet paid it back from the booklet. The second sum of money. There are many others after that. There are only records of lending, and it is not yet time to collect interest. Whether it is high interest depends on how the IOU is agreed."

"It's too much for my father to give me the IOU."

The sage looked at Jia She, "Enhou, how have I treated you for the past 30 years?"

"Friends, family friends." Jia She blushed, and the saint treated him first before and after he ascended the throne.

"Then what do you think of me?"

"Ming Yun, alas," Jia She raised his hand and wiped his face, tears gushing like a fountain.

"Tell me the truth. Whose book is this?"

The sage was neither angry nor angry, but his calm tone still made Jia Amnesty hear the unhappiness contained in it.

With a red face, Jia She held back his words, "Ming Yun, this booklet was done by my mother. I found out that a daughter from the Shi family started to interfere in this matter a month ago. I was afraid that I might make a mistake, so I asked my uncle to look it up together. ,turn out……"

Jia She took out his handkerchief and blew his nose. The saint had never seen Jia She in such a mess.

"My father went to question my mother. My mother said that the old concubine of Nan'an asked her to do it together. They were handkerchiefs handed over for decades. My father told her that loan sharks would kill people. My mother was dumbfounded. I only told my father that I borrowed money because some people didn’t get along for a while, and I didn’t expect that it would force people to death. She wanted to seek death. My father fainted. I took care of my father. Shi Hou went to see her and found She really gave in..."

Jia She suppressed his voice, sobbing like a trapped animal.

The sage handed Jia She another handkerchief, "Enhou, don't cry yet. A general who fought on the battlefield cried like a milk baby. You don't mind being ashamed, but I still think you are ugly. Tell me Say, how do you deal with those who borrow money?"

"I sent people to pay back all the interest, and I don't want the principal. My father said that if someone sells a son or daughter in order to repay loan sharks, he should quickly send someone to redeem them and send them back to their parents. I started to deal with it yesterday evening, and I don’t know the result yet.”

"Okay, I get it. If I only let us keep the usury for more than a month, there shouldn't be any deaths. You wash your face and follow me to the Palace of Compassion."

Jia Amnesty agreed in a muffled voice, and followed the servant who was called in to wash his face.

Jia Daishan was also crying in the Compassion Ning Palace.

"Your Majesty, you know my old Jia. I have lived for more than 60 years. When did you not take your words and the words of the sage into your head. Where would you think of Shi Shi..."

"Okay, Lao Jia, you're not in your teens anymore, don't cry like this, it's ugly and ugly. Those who don't know think what happened to you. Are all the IOUs you brought? ?”

"My lord, I found these from the servant's house. It matches the account book."

"What about the ledger?"

"Enhou took it to the sage." Jia Daishan looked at the empress's face and replied cautiously.

"Old Jia, are you afraid that I won't be able to protect you?" The Empress was a little unhappy.

"My lord, I don't want you to be too embarrassing. The Shi family is also the mother of Enhou." Jia Daishan hastily defended, speaking very sincerely.

Taishang's heart was satisfied.No matter what Jia Daishan does, he will consider it for me.Well, that's right, if you have Enhou, go talk to Ming Yun first, that's fine.

"Then what are you going to do with these IOUs?" Taishang felt comfortable and asked about the next step.

"Enhou found out about this matter yesterday, and immediately sent someone to return the interest, and the principal was also not wanted. Last night, the old minister returned home from you, and I heard about it. Those who sell their daughters must redeem them. If someone dies..."

Jia Daishan couldn't continue.

If it had only been more than a month, no one would have died.

"Hey, Lao Jia, the Shi family has only let go of the debt for more than a month. Although it is nine in and thirteen out, it has not yet reached the deadline for the collection of the capital. You father and son have lost even the principal and the interest by doing this. , What a shame."

The Taishang laughed and teased Jia Daishan.

"Your Majesty, how can the old minister need Shi's money to get rid of his nobles and officials, and cut off his sons and grandchildren?" Jia Daishan complained.

The Empress nodded, Jia Daishan's wealth and wealth, among the civil servants and military generals of the Manchu Dynasty, not to mention being ranked in the top ten of Dajing, it would definitely not be out of the top twenty.

"Then what did Shi Hou say? What are you going to do, Mrs. Shi?"

Jia Daishan wiped his eyes, "I was dizzy from that stupid woman's anger. Enhou guarded the old minister, and Shihou went to see his sister. Later, when the imperial physician Wang was about to leave, Shihou sent someone to stop the imperial physician Wang... Shi committed suicide by committing suicide." gone."

Too silent, Jia Daishan didn't dare to say anything.

"Shi Hou is willing, and he can do it."

Jia Daishan nodded.I was still thinking about how to discuss Tong Shihou, but if I didn't divorce my wife, I would die of illness.Unexpectedly, Shi Hou did it directly.That is also one that can be ruthless.That was the younger sister that he put on top of his heart and loved for decades.

They had known each other for decades, and the Supreme Master knew that Jia Daishan was very tolerant, considerate, and cherished the Shi family.It was Shi's trouble with the old lady's daughter and Jia She's daughter-in-law. Jia Daishan also protected Shi and let Shi continue to hold the housekeeper's right.Whose granddaughter-in-law is about to enter the door, or the 60-year-old grandma-in-law butler, but Rongguo Mansion is it.It is almost the only one in the capital.

Taishang's own husband and wife relationship is shallow, but he is happy to see other people's couples live well.He is willing to boldly use those courtiers who are deeply affectionate with their main wives.Just like what he taught his son and grandson, "Anyone who does not abide by the way of husband and wife, spoils concubines and kills wives may not take the court's laws seriously."

Rule-abiding people will follow the rules wherever they go.

"Old Jia, don't be sad." The magistrate saw Jia Daishan's red and swollen eyes from rubbing, and comforted him. "Shi Shi didn't die short-lived. It's because you pampered her too much on weekdays, that's why this happened."

Jia Daishan was a little embarrassed, "My lord, during the years when I went to the Northwest, all the big and small things in the mansion were handled by Shi. Starting from the great-grandson's daughter-in-law, she respected and served the elderly for three generations... Alas, I made a mistake. If you take one step, you will never recover. No matter how reluctant the old minister is, he cannot allow her to despise the law."

As Jia Daishan talked, his voice gradually lowered. If the Taishang hadn't been sitting close to him, he might not be able to hear what he said clearly.

The two monarchs and ministers had almost finished their conversation, and the sage brought Jia Amnesty in.After the ceremony, the Supreme Master showed the sage the IOUs bound by date.

"Nine in and thirteen out? It's really high profit!" The saint flipped through it and compared it with the account books he brought over.

When Jia Daishan and Jia She heard what the saint said, they immediately left their seats and knelt down.

The Taishang didn't call out, and the saint didn't pay attention to their father and son.It took almost half an hour for the sage Dobi to finish the comparison.

"Old Duke, Enhou, get up. If no one is killed, this matter will stop here. If someone is killed, it will be another story. Wangcai, go and call Mo Jiu."

Mo Jiu came very quickly, and the sage signaled Liufu to give Mo Jiu the account books and receipts.

"Mo Jiu, go and check carefully. Those who borrowed usury, before yesterday's time application, did not find a dead end because they didn't pay the interest. Go!"

After Mo Jiu saluted the saint, he hurried out to get busy.

It was almost noon when the prince came.The Taishang left his son, grandson, and Jia's father and son to have lunch together.The prince was quite gracious and asked people to announce the dishes to the old Duke and Rong Guo, and then served the dishes to the grandfather and father himself.

Looking at the busy grandson, the crown prince laughed and said, "Old Jia, the crown prince is going out of the palace a little too much, otherwise I think he will sneak to your house when he finds an opportunity."

Jia Daishan smiled, "My lord, if you have raised such a good grandson, you have to let him go out of the palace more often, so that all the subjects can see our extraordinary, handsome and suave prince."

The prince blushed from Jia Dai's praise.

Although the three royal grandparents treated Jia's father and son as usual, and the lunch was still very rich, Jia's father and son also forced themselves to stuff their meals into their stomachs.

After lunch, the sage took the prince away.

It was almost sunset, and Mo Jiucai returned to Wenyuan Pavilion with the results of the investigation to report.
