"First Master…First Master is in trouble. Second Master Lian has led the soldiers of the Ministry of Revenue and Shuntian Prefecture to surround Rong Nation Manor. Now, the soldiers of the Ministry of Revenue and Shuntian Prefecture are constantly arresting people.”
At the same time…Jia She, who was drinking and having fun with a group of concubines in his courtyard, received a report from a servant.
"Bang…"
"This bastard, how dare he do such a treasonous thing?”
Hearing the servant's report, Jia She, who was happy, immediately changed his expression. He threw the wine jar in his hand on the ground and shouted angrily,
At this moment, the Rong Mansion was in a mess, but he did not notice it at all.
It was because his place was very lively, and the courtyard where he, the Lord of Rong Mansion, lived was arranged by Grandmother Jia to be in the corner.
It could be said that he had been expelled from Rong Mansion except for his title.
However, Jia She did not think too much about it. Instead, he felt that this place was quiet and no one would disturb him.
However, just as he was feeling happy, a servant came to report that his son, who he had never cared for, had actually brought people to raid the house.
How could his father not be furious?
"Where is that bastard now? I must kill him today.”
Jia She shouted angrily at the servant who had reported.
"Reporting to First Master, Second Master Lian is currently at Old Lady's place.
She heard from the people there that Second Master Lian had angered the old lady quite a bit.
Moreover, he heard that Second Master Lian was going to pay off the debt he owed to the imperial court.”
The servant trembled as he reported to Jia She.
The situation outside had given him quite a fright. His family had all been arrested. If he had not relied on his familiarity with Rong Mansion to avoid the search of the soldiers, he would not have been able to run over to Jia She for help.
"Bastard…unfilial descendant of an evil creature. I…I want to kill this beast.”
Jia She was so angry that he stomped his feet and kept clamoring to beat Jia Lian to death.
He was so angry that he even wanted to kill Jia Lian.
Although Jia Lian was his only Di son, he had no feelings for Jia Lian.
As he spoke, Jia She lifted his feet and walked out to find trouble with Jia Lian.
The servant was overjoyed and hurriedly stood up to lead the way for Jia She.
At this moment, Jia She was their only savior.
If Jia She captured Jia Lian, not only him, but his family would be saved.
…
"Ding! The heavens reward those who work hard. The system chose to issue a mission…
At this moment, Jia She was charging over to interrogate the host.
Option 1: Explain the reason to Jia She.
[Mission Reward: Dong Tianbao's peak strength.]
Option 2: Send someone to tie Jia She up and send him back to the courtyard to prevent him from interfering in this matter.
[Mission Reward: Shadowless Kick of Buddha Mountain]
Option 3: Completely fall out with Jia She.
[Mission Reward: Twelve Tantui.]
Just as Jia Lian and Liu Wen came out of Grandmother Jia's residence to meet up with Wang Xifeng, the system's mission appeared in Jia Lian's mind.
"Sister Feng, bring Lord Liu to count the properties of those evil slaves. When the time comes, let Lord Liu take away one million taels of silver and directly charge the rest into the public account.”
Jia Lian was stunned when he heard the system's mission. After thinking about Jia She's identity and looking at the mission reward, Jia Lian chose the first option without hesitation.
Then, he made arrangements for Wang Xifeng.
"Yes!"
Hearing Jia Lian's arrangement, Wang Xifeng's heart ached. She knew how much money the Rong Mansion owed the imperial court, and she would feel heartache if she had to pay back one million taels of silver for 800,000 taels of silver.
She thought that the Ministry of Revenue wouldn't come for nothing this time. In addition, Liu Wen, the Minister of Revenue, was still here. She could only endure the pain and agree.
He didn't say anything to save Jia Lian's face.
"Then this official will go over!"
Liu Wen happily cupped his hands at Jia Lian and said.
"Milord, please. After settling the matters in the residence, nephew would like to invite Milord to a banquet. At that time, I hope Milord will give me the honor.”
Jia Lian cupped his hands and promised Liu Wen with a smile on his face.
At this moment, Liu Wen was his network, so Jia Lian naturally had to maintain it.
Now, Jia Lian wanted to cut off all the connections in Rong Mansion and rebuild his own.
In the original novel, the Jia family wasn't the only family that was raided. Many other families that were on good terms with the Jia family were raided as well.
Therefore, these relationships had to be severed.
If they stayed, they would only end up as brothers in distress with them.
Now, these relationships looked very important and huge. If they really waited for everyone to be raided one after another, they would be a bunch of stray dogs.
"Definitely, definitely…Hahahaha!"
How could Liu Wen reject the invitation of a rich man like Jia Lian?
The national treasury was short of money, and many great clans owed money to the imperial court.
If he wanted all of them back, it would be a year's worth of taxes for the Great Jin.
Now, Jia Lian had not only paid back the silver he owed, but he had also paid back the principal with interest. This initiative to pay back the principal with interest was a good start.
Not only did he solve the urgent problem of the imperial court, he wanted to see who would still have the face to refuse to pay back the money.
At that time, if no one returned the money, he might have to ask Jia Lian, this fence sitter, to help.
Of course, if Jia Lian went out to do such offending work, he naturally would not let Jia Lian do it for free.
As long as he got the money back, Jia Lian would be his brother. Secondly, he would ask the Emperor to give Jia Lian a high position and a generous salary.
Even if he couldn't get a high position and a high salary, he could at least hope that Jia Lian wouldn't be demoted when he inherited the title in the future.
Other than the princes and kings with different surnames, the titles of dukes, marquises, and uncles would be more or less demoted after generations.
Just like that, after Jia Lian and Liu Wen exchanged a few more polite words, Wang Xifeng took Liu Wen out.
"Vile creature, do you want to rebel…"
Not long after Liu Wen and Wang Xifeng left, Jia She's furious voice was heard…
Hearing the voice, Jia Lian looked over…
He saw Jia She walking over with a face full of anger.
"First Master, everything I did was for my First household!”
Jia Lian sized up the furious Jia She and walked over to explain.
Regarding Jia She, Jia Lian really couldn't open his mouth to call him father.
After all, this guy really didn't look like a father.
"Alright, you still dare to quibble at this point…"
Hearing Jia Lian's words, Jia She became even angrier.
"Why are you trying to quibble with me?
For the sake of my family, you dare to raid my Rong Mansion.”
Jia She's eyes were red as he asked Jia Lian angrily with a hoarse voice.
"It's like this…"
Seeing this, Jia Lian changed what he said to Wang Xifeng and told Jia She.
