Winning every step of the Red Mansion

Not to mention that the members of the Jia family were discussing countermeasures for loan sharking, but that Lai Dayin was kidnapped by Jia Amnesty and directly handed over to Fang Zhongzheng, the governor of the capital. Mr. Fang wanted to speed up the trial of the case, but even though the sufferer sued Lai Da, but was too sad to learn that his daughter had died, and fell ill in bed.Fang Zhongzheng sent someone to pass on the message, only to find out that the sufferer could not come to court, and Master Fang had no choice but to take Lai Da into custody temporarily, and began to investigate some evidence first.

This Lai Da entered the cell, and after waiting for two days, no one was arraigned, and he was even more anxious.On the one hand, he cursed the little maid who committed suicide by throwing herself into the well a hundred times, and on the other hand, she cursed the man Yazi who recommended her servant ten thousand times.Then he remembered that it was Jia Amnesty who tied him up and sent him to the governor of the capital this time, and he felt resentful towards Jia's mansion again.But whether it is resentment or cursing, he is now being suppressed in this prison.

Since he was detained for two days and no one came to visit him at home, Lai Da felt even more uncomfortable.Suffering from wanting to know the outside situation, he wanted to spend money to ask someone to inquire about it.Lai Da didn't dare to act rashly because he was arrested for bribing in Fang Zhongzheng's study but failed.First, he tentatively complained that the food in the cell was extremely poor, so he secretly gave the guard some loose silver and asked him to buy some good food.The guard took the money, but brought in some better meals.After going back and forth, Lai Da saw that the guard had become greedy and felt that it was easy to attack him. It seemed that the guard also wanted to get more money from Lai Da, and the two hit it off.

Taking advantage of other people's unpreparedness, Lai Da quietly took off a piece of jade pendant on his body and handed it to the guard, "Help me go to Rongguo Mansion Lai's house and send a message for me to tell my mother to find a way to rescue me. This jade can be regarded as a certificate, as long as you bring it to you, you can ask them for 50 taels of silver."

The guard took the jade, weighed it in his hand, and said with a smile: "It's only worth 50 taels of silver for the dignified housekeeper Lai of the Rongguo Mansion, hehe, it's not enough for a pot of tea." Lai Da secretly scolded the guard for his black heart , but with a smile on his face, he said: "This time, the official has worked hard. When I get out of the wrong place, I will be thankful."

"What's the matter with Steward Lai, one day you will leave this place, how can I and other petty officials be able to climb up to you. You are the chief steward of Rongguo Mansion. There is still a seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister, don't you think so?" the guard said. Putting Yu into his arms, he stretched out his hand towards Lai Dayi, "Of course you know that the threshold in your house is quite high, I'm afraid I'll just call out without paying my respects."

Seeing this, Lai Da was helpless, so he had to take out some money and hand it to the guard: "Don't make fun of Lai, the official. This time, if he can go back alive, he will go to the temple to burn incense. This time, his hands are really shy. I will thank you very much for going out." The guard got the money and then left slowly, seeing the guard walking away, Lai Da turned around and spat on the ground, cursing in a low voice: "The dog who took advantage of the fire!"

Let's say that the guard got Lai Da's money and things and didn't go straight to Lai's house, but went straight to Fang Zhongzheng's study. When he saw his lord, he said, "This Lai Da really took the bait. This time let me go to his house and entrust me with a message." Give it to his mother, let her find a way to rescue him." After speaking, he took out the piece of jade in his arms, "This is a certificate, saying that I have sent a message, so I can ask for 50 taels of silver."

Fang Zhongzheng nodded, Lai Da's move was indeed generous.But this time, if he wants to leave here without a shadow, it may be even more difficult.According to the regulations of this dynasty, those who bribed officials should first be punished with forty rods, and then exiled according to the amount of bribes.Fang Zhongzheng ordered the guards to rely on Lai Da's entrustment to see what kind of reinforcements Lai Da can bring out.Because of looking for evidence in the past few days, I knew that the Lai brothers had done a lot of evil things with the help of the Ningrong Second Mansion, Fang Zhongzheng was very angry about each and every one of them, and wished to bring down these evildoers together.

Master Fang is investigating the case in an orderly manner, while Jia Jing and Jia Amnesty are busy looking for people to settle the accounts.This Jia Amnesty saw that some families were really poor, in addition to exempting usury loans, he also sent a few taels of silver to them, those suffering people were naturally very grateful, even Nian Lai's family was kind.Although Jia Amnesty didn't like this, but he thought it would be more practical for the Lai family to put usury, so he didn't care about it.

After Jia Zheng went back, he couldn't be idle. Knowing that this matter was of great importance, he called Mrs. Wang to discuss it together.Mrs. Wang frowned when she heard this and said: "A few months ago, Zhou Rui's family also mentioned the usury, saying it was safe and profitable." Jia Zheng said urgently, "You agreed?" Mrs. Wang shook her head again and again: "No, the master forgot that I was packing up and preparing to move, and I was copying scriptures and praying for the old lady. How could I have time to think about it. After listening to it today, I just realized how powerful it is. It's really a blessing." Jia Zhengyi Listen, I'm relieved, this Jia Jing and Jia Amnesty were still impersonated to do this, and it's so troublesome for this.If I did it myself, I really don't know how to clean it up.Busy people brought Zhou Rui and his wife to ask what happened.

After asking, I found out that these two people envied Lai Da's ostentation and extravagance. One day they invited Lai Da to drink, and Lai Da told him about this good way to make money when he was drunk. They also did this, Zhou Rui thought it should be fine, but he didn't have the capital in his hands, so Zhou Rui asked his wife to provoke Mrs. Wang, Zhou Rui's family mentioned it twice, but each time it happened to be unlucky, Mrs. Wang really didn't have the time Reasonable, Zhou Rui and his wife had no choice but to sigh secretly that they had no such fortune.It wasn't until something happened to the Lai family that the two were afraid.This time, when my master came to ask, it was natural to explain everything clearly.When Jia Zheng heard this, he became even more enraged, and checked all the servants around him overnight, and locked up anyone whose family money was unknown, and sent Zhou Rui and his wife to Jia Amnesty. To be a circumstantial evidence for Lai Dayuo to falsely accuse Jia Amnesty in the future.

After Jia Jing and Jia Amnesty took back the usury IOU and destroyed it, they let people leak the word and let Lai Da in prison know his own situation.Lai Daku waited for a few days and couldn't believe it. Today, when he heard that his whole family was confiscated, his brothers found out where he was, his mother and son were kicked out of the house, and his servants' belongings were sold. Years of painstaking efforts were ruined. Blood spurted out and passed out.When he woke up, he howled loudly: "I have been wronged and I have been wronged. I want to sue the Ningrong and Rongfu for being lawless, and order me, the housekeeper, to distribute loan sharks for them and make a fortune. I want to sue, I want to sue."

Fang Zhongzheng has checked the evidence from all sides this time, and knowing that Lai Da has been imprisoned, the sufferer has calmed down and woke up these days, Fang Zhongzheng wanted to close the case.In the first trial, Lai Dagu pleaded not guilty, but bit out the fact that Jia's government released loan sharks.
