Chapter 142 Jia Ren returns home injured
Then Niuma told Naituanzi the whole story.
Xiao Baozhu was stunned after hearing this.
What on earth did Ling Lingyi, as the emperor's guard, do secretly before he became emperor?
Seeing the little princess's expression, Niuma hurriedly defended Ling Lingyi, "The Jia family is not a good family! All the money they have earned over the years is black money! Princess, please don't blame my brother! Maybe I will escort the money over again in the future!"
The only way is to bankrupt them and make them have no chance of making a comeback.
The Jia family would never think about doing evil all day long!
What is this rich man afraid of? Isn't it that he is afraid of running out of money and having to work in the fields like the poor people?
"What are you afraid of? How could I blame Ling Ling Yi? When are you leaving? I have something for you to take back~"
Naituanzi has not forgotten the good things that Jia Fugui and County Magistrate Feng did!
They even had the crazy idea of taking Beixiao's defense map to Daqian to serve as a stepping stone for their careers!
The death of such people is a relief for them, so naturally they want to let them live penniless and endure all the suffering in the world to feel relieved.
Niuma scratched his blackened fingers: "I originally thought I would return after meeting the princess! Now it seems that it will take two or three days..."
He also wanted to hurry back and have a big fight with his elder brother and Zero One and the others!
Xiao Baozhu tilted her head to look at the cows and horses, blinking her big black eyes: "I'll ask Eunuch Qin Bao to take you to find Uncle Ci later! Let him arrange a place for you to rest. You haven't rested much on the way, right?"
That's right! Escorting such a large amount of silver would make anyone nervous, and they just want to get it to the destination quickly and rest...
The little princess's orders were naturally followed by the oxen and horses. He nodded: "Thank you, Princess! This is my duty and it's not tiring at all!"
Xiao Baozhu waved her hand and shouted: "Eunuch Qin Bao~"
Qin Bao, who was outside the door, heard the little princess's cry and quickly pushed the door open and walked in.
"Little princess, what do you want me to do for you?"
The little girl pointed at the dark cows and horses with her white and tender little fingers and said, "Take them to Uncle Ci's house and ask him to help arrange a place for them to live!"
Qin Bao nodded repeatedly and said respectfully to the cows and horses: "My lord, please follow me~"
Although this man called himself a commoner in the Golden Palace, the little princess actually met him in person after the court session, which was enough to show that this man had a special status in the little princess's heart.
The little princess is the emperor's treasure, and this man is the one the little princess likes, so he naturally has to be respectful.
Niuma blushed at being called an adult. He waved his hands at Qin Bao in a panic and stammered, "No...no...dare not! I...I...am not!"
Dad and Mom! The eunuchs in the palace actually called him adults. He has made it big!
Qin Bao smiled but did not answer. He took the little princess back to the imperial study and handed her to his master Xiao Dezi. Then he took the cattle and horses and hurried to Xiaoyao Palace.
...
Jia Ren fled back to the Jia Mansion with injuries all over his body. He was so scared and angry that he fainted in front of the door of the Jia Mansion.
Jia Fugui heard from the housekeeper that his eldest son had returned home!
Joy suddenly surged in his heart, and he sat in the study waiting for his eldest son to come and tell him the good news.
But Jia Fugui in the study waited and waited but Jia Ren never showed up.
Instead, he waited for news that his eldest son had returned home to ask for a doctor.
Jia Fugui walked out of the study with a grim face. He wanted to see what his eldest son was up to!
Just as Jia Fugui was about to step into Jia Ren's yard, he suddenly heard the voice of his second son Jia Yi: "Father!"
Jia Fugui paused, turned around and looked at Jia Yi who was walking hurriedly: "Didn't you say you were going to attend a poetry gathering? Why are you here?"
Jia Yi was anxious and puzzled as he asked, "Father doesn't know about such a big thing?"
"Know what?" Jia Fugui looked at Jia Yi in confusion.
Could it be that the second son has taken a fancy to some rich girl?
Or does he want to marry a prostitute from the brothel?
Thinking of this, Jia Fugui's face became even gloomier. Why did he, a hero, give birth to two ugly creatures?
But he was always looking for beauties to bring into his house. After so many years, none of the concubines in the backyard could get pregnant!
Humph! So what if they are beautiful? They are still hens that don’t lay eggs!
"Father! All of our glass has been stolen!!"
Jia Yi growled these words in a trembling voice. Jia Fugui looked at him in astonishment, subconsciously thinking that the second brother was lying to him.
Do not!impossible!
That's colored glass worth five hundred thousand taels of silver!
How could it be robbed?
Besides...besides, he was afraid that there might be an accident on the road, so he specifically asked the boss to bring some people with him!
Jia Fugui felt dizzy in front of his eyes. Five hundred thousand taels of silver was not a small amount of money. It was half of his Jia family's wealth!
His body swayed a few times, and Jia Yi, who was standing beside him, came over worriedly and hurried to support him.
"Father, you..."
Jia Fugui didn't know where he got the strength from, he pushed Jia Yi aside and walked into Jia Ren's yard with unsteady steps.
At this time, the doctor who was invited had just finished taking the pulse of the unconscious Jia Ren.
Jia Fugui hurried over and grabbed the doctor's sleeve, and asked anxiously: "Excuse me, doctor, how is my son?"
"Master Jia, your son is just too frightened and is fine... and he only has minor injuries. He just needs to rest for a few days!"
Hearing the doctor say this, Jia Fugui finally felt relieved and asked the housekeeper to send the doctor away.
Then he looked at the servant who had gone with Jia Ren and asked with gritted teeth: "What on earth is going on?"
When the servant saw Jia Fugui so angry, he didn't care about his injuries and his legs went limp and he fell to his knees on the ground.
"My Lord, we were fine on the way back, but we were targeted by a group of thieves right after we left Lantian City... Not only did they steal all the colored glaze, they also hung me up and beat me up..."
After the servant finished speaking tremblingly, Jia Fugui felt his anger rising to his head. His eyes turned red and he was about to curse when he felt a numbness in his hands and feet.
"Father! Our eldest brother is in this state now, and our glass has been stolen... why don't we report it to the police..." Jia Yi suggested with his brows lowered.
Jia Fugui waved his hands tremblingly, and said incoherently: "No! No way!"
There are so many corrupt officials in Daqian, and he has only lost half of his wealth. If he reports to the authorities, he won't be able to get Liuli even if he finds it. He will have to spend more money to bribe the corrupt officials, and the loss will be even greater.
Jia Fugui gritted his teeth and said, "Don't make this public! We can talk about everything after your elder brother wakes up!"
He will definitely not give up the fat meat in his mouth to others, he is determined to do the glass business!
