The Red Mansions

Chapter 284 Operation Thunder!

Li Wan goes back.

He did not return to Rongguo Mansion immediately, but entered Ningguo Mansion.

Youshi and Xia Jingui warmly received her and had a secret conversation with her for nearly two quarters of an hour.

After sending Li Wan away, Xia Jingui glanced at Youshi's big belly, and said jealously:
"You are lucky, he promised to give you a child early!"

As he spoke, he glanced at the ashes on the ground.

It was a secret letter that Jia Yun asked Li Wan to bring, and asked You Shi and Xia Jingui to cooperate fully.

Youshi pursed her lips and said, "I didn't expect you to be with him..."

"You can follow him, but I can't? What's the reason?" Xia Jingui said angrily.

"Also, to rectify the matter of Ningguo Mansion, I will just come forward."

"What's the matter with your big belly?"

"If there's something good or bad, he's probably going to blame me for not taking good care of you!"

You Shi thought for a while, then stepped to the top of the kang to get the key and account book, and handed them to Xia Jingui.

"Forget it, since he said that you are the main one, I am happy to be free, so I will stay in the room these few days."

After Xia Jingui took it, she nodded and said, "That's about the same."

"He is quite accurate in seeing people, and knows that your temperament is not suitable for fighting and killing scenes."

"In this regard, I still need to come forward. Humph, just have fun!"

With that said, he twisted his waist and left.

After half an hour.

All the servants of the Second Ningrong Mansion were notified, and they all gathered in Daoxiang Village, Grand View Garden.

As for Jia Amnesty's mourning hall and the guards inside and outside the mansion, they were all temporarily replaced by members of the Jia family.

Lai everyone, also known as Lai Da Garden.

Although Lai Da is a servant, there are a large group of maids, mothers-in-law and nurses in his family.

To be honest, as a servant, his life is more prosperous than that of the masters of Rongguo Mansion.

Lai Da and his brother Lai Er (Lai Sheng) were the chief managers of the Rong and Ning prefectures respectively.

With this position, it is difficult for the whole family to think about being rich and prosperous.

Especially in the process of building the Grand View Garden in Rongguo Mansion, the two brothers did a lot of work.

Not only got countless money, but also expanded his own home according to the layout of the Grand View Garden.

Although the Lai Grand Garden is not as good as the Grand View Garden, it is also very neat and spacious.

Spring stone forests, towers and pavilions, beautiful trees are verdant, strange flowers are shining, and the scenery is pleasant.

in an antique room.

Mr. and Mrs. Lai kicked out the maidservants and talked in a low voice.

"Master, can this Rongguo Mansion survive?" Everyone Lai was worried.

Don't look at her as a servant, but she is also covered in silk, gold and silver, pampered.

Lai Da took a sip of tea, frowned, shook his head and said:
"I can't make up my mind right now, and it's because I'm greedy, I want to make some more money and leave, who knows..."

"Now there is a big problem in front of us, that is, our body deeds are still in Jia's residence."

"If the old lady is in good health, it's not difficult to ask her for a favor and return our contract."

"The problem is now that Grandma Zhu is in charge. She has no relationship with us, and usually does little to take care of it."

Everyone Lai frowned and said, "But we can't keep dragging on like this!"

"Our family has honored the grace of the Mengjia Mansion, donated our future, and now we are the county magistrate."

"He wrote a long time ago, asking you to get back the deed, in case of accidents, but you don't believe it!"

"Now it's time to go or stay, we have to make plans early!"

Lai Da pondered: "I'll find a chance to talk to Grandma Zhu in private, the big deal..."

Before the words fell, there was a loud bang outside.

Then, there were the panicked noises and cries of the maids and servants.

In just a few breaths, all the voices disappeared, only a tiny weeping sound came.

Lai Da was furious. He had been the chief executive of Rongguo Mansion for so many years, but no one dared to come to his house to do his best.

Just about to get up and go out to check, the sound of neat footsteps approached from far away.

After a while, a group of people rushed into the house, and it was the gate of his house who led the way.

"Master, this is Mr. and Mrs. Lai." Menzi bowed his head, his face frightened.

The group of people who came in were all wearing black tights.

At this time, a person stepped out from the crowd.

This person is tall, with a thick back and a waist, and a beard on his face.

Eyeballs as big as copper bells were piercing, and Lai Da raised his head and looked at each other without feeling glaring.

"I know, who doesn't know Chief Lai of Rongguo Mansion?" the strong man said with a blank expression.

"Lai Da, Grandma Zhu has ordered all the servants of the Jia Mansion to gather in Daoxiang Village!"

Lai Da frowned, he was the chief officer of the Rongguo Mansion, and he knew all the servants in the mansion.

But seeing this group of people, he was very strange.

After a moment of hesitation, he said, "You are..."

"Crack!" "Aww..."

Before he finished speaking, a knife directly hit him on the mouth.

Then the strong man stared and said: "If you are told to go, you go, what are you talking about? Hurry up!"

Lai Da covered his mouth, the blood couldn't stop flowing, and several teeth were knocked out, which was excruciatingly painful.

"Aww...it hurts me to death..."

Lai everyone's face turned pale with fright, and he let out a shrill scream.

"The head of the house!..."

Seeing his man being beaten, everyone Lai was about to rush forward.

The strong man grabbed her hair and said viciously:
"If you don't want to get yourself into trouble, you can just be silly. I don't care how many people I kill for fun today!"

Lai Da saw that something was wrong, so he stopped crying, and hurriedly pulled his wife, covered her mouth, and got off the kang.

Not daring to delay for a while, he stumbled and walked out.

When he came to the courtyard, the strong man shouted to his entourage:

"Search immediately, dig three feet inside and out, not a single copper coin will be let go!"

Immediately, a group of people separated, like wolves and tigers, overturning walls and cabinets everywhere.

"When..." Everyone Lai was about to say something, but was stopped by Lai Da, who kept giving her eyes.

He has never encountered this situation in the Rongguo Mansion for decades.

Now, he didn't care about the money any more, but worried about losing his life.

He didn't know where this group of people came from, but since they dared to be so lawless, they must have something to rely on.

He regretted it deeply, and he would have listened to his son's advice if he had known about it.

It would be nice to get back the body deed earlier and go to my son to enjoy the blessings!

At the same time, the same thing was happening in many corners around Rongguo Mansion.

No one was spared from the chief steward of the Ningrong Second Mansion, down to the manager of the farm, the nanny and the deacons.

evening.

Jia Wenlin and Jia Dazheng returned after changing shifts and handed Jia Yun a list.

"Everyone Lai found more than 20 taels of silver?" Jia Yun asked in surprise.

Although I knew that Lai Da must be greedy a lot, I didn't expect to be greedy so much.

Jia Wenlin nodded and said, "This is only the estimated amount of cash, banknotes, jewelry, etc."

"There are still several large boxes of land, real estate, shops and other deeds whose value has not been estimated in time."

"In addition to some antique scroll books, there are countless."

"Besides, this is only for Da Lai's family. There are many other housekeepers, mothers, and nanny..."
