Chapter 1768: Renzijuan appeasement
Seeing this situation, Feng Ziying could only clear her throat and said, "Uncle Shi Shi, at this time, my nephew feels that it is time to consider how the house should respond and arrange."
"Ah, yes, yes, Ziying, how do you think we should arrange it?" Jia She nodded repeatedly, but mixed with fear and suspicion, "If Captain Long comes, will everyone in the house be captured?" ?”
"How is that possible?" Feng Ziying laughed, "There are more than a thousand people living in Rong Ning's second house. Even excluding those who live outside the house, there must be eight or nine hundred people living in the house, right? We have to take them all down, with so many families involved, even the big prison in the capital city can’t hold them all.”
Of the more than a thousand people living outside the mansion, most of them are from branches of the Jia family, or relatives such as in-laws, and many of them help in the mansion.
Those like Jia Yun, Jia Qiang, and Jia Rui actually live in the alleys around Ningrong Street outside the mansion.
It's just that they either do something in Rong Ning's second house, or they make a living by helping out in the house. Those who don't do well will simply become a subordinate in the house, and they are not even as good as having children in those families.
Jia She didn't know exactly how many people there were in Rongguo Mansion, but he estimated that there would be no less than four or five hundred people.
He couldn't recognize all the people who were coming and going, such as women and servants. They were probably people like the original Lai Dalaisheng, current managers like Wu Xindeng and Lin Zhixiao, or Wang Shanbao. Only those who have been very active in the house for a long time can roughly recognize them.
"Ziying, the Niu family and the Wang family have really been captured?" Jia She was still a little hard to accept, "Niu Jizong is not here, his family must have escaped long ago? Wang Ziteng is about the same, I know that Wang Ziteng except two A concubine, his old wife is said to have been back in Jinling to recuperate for more than a year, and Wang Zisheng has also disappeared long ago..."
"Well, the Niu Wang family may have been prepared for it, but people like Niu Jixun will be implicated." Feng Ziying nodded and looked at Baoyu: "I don't know what Princess Yongning said. After all, Niu Jixun was not involved. During Niu Jizong's rebellion, if Princess Yongning can help defend, maybe the situation will not be so bad."
Baoyu's face also regained some luster, and he quickly said: "Then I will ask the lady to go back and inquire about it now. Brother Feng, do you think it's okay?"
Feng Ziying hesitated for a moment and said, "You'd better have someone check on Ling Yue's family first. You don't have to ask your sister-in-law to go there in person. It would be inappropriate if you encounter her."
Baoyu nodded repeatedly, went out in a hurry, and was busy arranging for people to go to his father-in-law to inquire about the situation.
“Ziying, what kind of preparations do you think our government should make?” Jia She finally got to the point.
Feng Ziying thought for a while and smiled bitterly: "Uncle Shi, to be honest, my nephew feels that there is really nothing to prepare for. There are people from Long Jinwei watching outside. Whatever we do now is in vain, and it may even be possible." The only thing you can do is to comfort the people below. Captain Long is really coming. Don't panic. Just wait and deal with it. This matter can't be settled in a day or two, so everyone has to Be mentally prepared. In fact, the purpose of my nephew's coming is to appease Baoyu, Brother Huan, Brother Lan, Brother Cong, and the third sister, sister Yun, and fourth sister, so that they should not panic and attract the attention of others. Unnecessary misunderstandings can even cause more harm..."
Jia She also breathed a sigh of relief, leaned back on the chair, and said a little dejectedly: "I also know that it is of no use. It's a pity that there are many things in my room. The old lady also has many in her room. If I had known better..."
In the end, he shook his head. Jia She glanced at Feng Ziying again, but he probably felt that it was difficult to talk about it when people like Jia Huan were present. He waved his hands, "Brother Huan, Brother Lan, and Brother Cong, please wait outside first. Let me have a few words with Ziying."
The three of them looked at each other in shock, but still went out. Jia She lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "I have deposited several sums of money at Haitong Silver Village, and they were all stored under pseudonyms and secret names. The Dragon Guard can't find it, right? "
Feng Ziying was stunned. She didn't expect Jia She to be prepared so early.
This pseudonym and secret code are equivalent to a bearer deposit. You can withdraw money with only the receipt and secret code, and there is no time limit. This kind of deposit was also developed by Haitong Yinzhuang. It is mainly targeted at those who have raised a child but have no way to do it. The man who brought him home.
Such anonymous withdrawals based only on bills and passwords are equivalent to leaving a legacy to the wife and illegitimate children. Even if the main wife comes to fight for the property in the future, it will not be able to prove that the money was saved by your man. The bank only recognizes the bill and secret note and will pay it, and will not replace the lost money.
Jia She is quite good at these aspects, but if you are unable to protect yourself, who will marry you on your behalf? Or do you think you can survive until you are released from prison and then use it as a pension?
"Uncle She Shi, you have arranged things well." Feng Ziying smiled hoarsely, "Even Long Jinwei can't check this kind of unnamed deposit, and there is no way to check it. The bank only recognizes bills and secret notes."
"That's good." Jia She didn't say much. There was no need to tell anyone where the note was hidden and how to get it.
Feng Ziying was too lazy to ask more questions, "Uncle Shi Shi, since the Niu Wang family has been raided, my nephew feels that the Jia family will have to face it sooner or later. The old lady in the mansion should be prepared, and the rest can only be Shi Shi." Uncle, you are here to make arrangements. My nephew plans to talk to a few younger brothers and sisters, so that they can feel a little more at ease and have some peace of mind."
Jia She nodded, "Ziying, I'll help you this time. A friend in need is a friend indeed. Your kindness will be remembered by everyone in the Jia family, and the second girl over there will be entrusted to you."
“Don’t worry, Shibo, my second sister will be fine if you follow me.” Feng Ziying nodded enthusiastically, “I just hope this matter can be settled as soon as possible.”
Coming out of Rongxi Hall, Feng Ziying called Jia Huan, Jia Lan and Jia Cong aside.
"The three of you are all aware of the situation. This is not your fault. But since you, the Jia family, have encountered it, you, as the men of the Jia family, should stand tall and face it calmly. Don't cry like a woman..." Feng Ziying Looking at the three people, their attitudes were gentle but firm.
"No man can live without encountering some ups and downs. When I was twelve years old, I encountered a mob riot in Linqing. I could be killed at any time, but I still had to grit my teeth and have the courage to go out to ask for help. If I didn't go out, I would be waiting to die. You may be looking for death when you go out, but you still have to take risks. At least what you are experiencing now will not lead to death, it is nothing more than suffering,..."
"The sage also said that when Heaven entrusts a person with a great responsibility, he must first work his mind, starve his body and work his muscles..." Feng Ziying saw that the mood of the three people had improved, so she encouraged: "What's more, the situation is also It may not be as bad as imagined, maybe the matter can be settled in a year or two, and I will also find a way to solve it for you regarding your status and even your future scientific examination qualifications..."
This is what Jia Huan and the three of them are most concerned about. It would be fine if they really have to suffer the pain of two years in prison. They are most afraid that their future will be ruined and they will never be able to turn around. That is the real despair. Feng Ziying's promise is true to his word, but he can't do it. Never promise, just like rescuing the Jia family, but everything promised is fulfilled, which is what the three of them trust the most.
After adjusting the mentality of the three of them, Feng Ziying entered the garden.
Only Jia Huan accompanied Feng Ziying, while both Jia Lan and Jia Cong were sent away by Feng Ziying.
When entering the garden from the main entrance, I only feel a desolate state.
Although there were women and servants at the door, they all looked restless, whispering to each other and talking in small words. When they saw Feng Ziying coming, they welcomed Feng Ziying in with a smile on their faces.
"Okay, just send it here. I'll go to your sister Lin's place first. It's time for her to move out." Feng Ziying sighed and patted Jia Huan on the shoulder: "Your second brother Bao is too loose-tempered. If you don't have your own opinion, Brother Lian is not here, so you will be the younger generation in the house to take the lead. If anything happens, take the initiative and don't let others look down on you. As for the rest, you don't have to worry, I have my own arrangements. Once this matter is settled, I will naturally take care of the imperial examination for you."
Jia Huan's eyes were red, and he couldn't help but choked up, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only kneel on the ground, kowtow several times, and then turned around and left.
Feng Ziying didn't stop him, she just nodded, put her hands behind her back, looked at Jia Huan's disappearing figure, sighed softly, and then went to knock on the door of Xiaoxiang Hall.
But they saw that the door of Xiaoxiang Pavilion had been opened long ago. Daiyu and Zijuan were standing at the door in a daze, watching. They probably saw the conversation and behavior of Feng Ziying and Jia Huan just now.
Feng Ziying didn't care either, but her eyes were a little gentler, "Sister, what are you doing standing here? It's getting cold, let's go in."
Daiyu bit her lip, then silently followed her in, crossed the moon cave door, and suddenly turned her head and asked, "Brother Feng, is there really nothing we can do about Rongguo Mansion?"
"At least there is nothing we can do now." Feng Ziying shook her head, "Even if we want to find a way, we have to wait until the court handles it, and then consider countermeasures based on the situation. After all, where the Jia family's affairs are, it's hard to say they have nothing to do with it. People are so excited now that no one dares to touch the limelight. Maybe after the victory of the Southern Expedition and everything settles, the winners will often not care about the losers so much, and things will be much easier to handle."
"But how long will we have to wait?" Daiyu was a little disappointed. Tan Yatou had been depressed these past two days, and Yun Yatou had shed tears, which made her feel even more tormented. Although she would not be implicated, her best friends were. How could she accept being imprisoned?
