Chapter 636: A False Alarm(2/2)
When she entered, the old lady was half lying and half leaning on the main seat. When she saw Mrs. Wang, her attitude was obviously much colder than before, and she was obviously angry that her family had been implicated by the Wang family.
"old lady."
Mrs. Wang met Li cautiously, and then glanced at Wang Xifeng, who was standing aside with a low eyebrow.
"Have you heard about it?"
"I rushed back just because I heard something happened at home."
As Mrs. Wang spoke, she formally turned her gaze to Wang Xifeng and scolded: "Girl Feng, what on earth is going on?!"
"Mrs!"
Wang Xifeng knelt down and cried out with tears in her eyes: "That sum of money was actually earned from the business partnership between Shi Jia and Ning Guofu. Brother Shun was the one who took the lead in this matter. If you don't believe it, you can tell these families
Please come and prove it one by one!"
Mrs. Wang was stunned and asked subconsciously: "Is Jiao Changqing also involved?"
Wang Xifeng hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said: "Because he proposed the 'Maritime Silk Road', he was worried about being criticized by the officials, so he only helped to build the bridge, but did not go through it himself."
For half a month in the morning, she really wanted to drag Jiao Shun into the water, lest her enemy die without saving him.
But the bet signed at that time had already been sent to Jiao's family along with Ping'er. Now it was without proof, and Jiao Shun really didn't put any money into it, so she couldn't get involved even if she wanted to.
Mrs. Wang didn't know whether she should be relieved or regretful that Jiao Shun was not tied up, so she had to change the question: "Then you said you earned the money, is there any physical evidence?"
"this……"
Wang Xifeng hesitated and said: "Because it's under the banner of the Wang family, I'm afraid it won't be easy to obtain physical evidence."
Immediately she said hurriedly: "But we can find a lot of witnesses! At least brother Zhen and his son in Dongfu know everything. This is what Brother Rong went south to do last year!"
"ha!"
At this moment, someone across from me suddenly sneered, gritted his teeth and asked, "Even Brother Rong knows, but you only keep me in the dark. What do you think I am?!"
It was Jia Lian who was speaking. He was glaring at Wang Xifeng angrily. In addition to hating Wang Xifeng for hiding it from him, he even hated Wang Xifeng for making so much money without telling him and sitting back and watching him suffer in Dongkua Yard!
Wang Xifeng didn't even bother to look at her, she still looked at Mrs. Wang pitifully and said: "I didn't mean to hide it from my family. I originally thought that when the money arrived, I would use part of it to supplement the family's income, but first my father-in-law passed away.
, and then something happened to the Wang family, so I didn’t take care of it for a while."
In the eyes of others, these words were nothing more than excuses, but Mrs. Wang was shuddered when she heard it, and understood that when she mentioned Jia She's death at this time, she obviously meant a hidden threat.
Mrs. Wang secretly cursed 'rebellious little hoof', turned her head and said to the old lady above her: "Old lady, if this is really the case, this is just a false alarm, so there is no need to worry too much."
"It's just a false alarm!"
Mother Jia's eyes glanced past her, fixed on Wang Xifeng's face, and sighed: "Please stand up and speak - are you really earning these three hundred thousand taels of silver from your sea trade business?"
"nature!"
Wang Xifeng stood up and said confidently: "Brother Youshun helped take the lead in purchasing the goods, and because of the relationship between the Wang family and the Shi family, the principal of this sea trade business has doubled several times!"
In fact, what really belonged to her was only 150,000 to 600,000 taels of silver.
But what Wang Xifeng was thinking about was that he had originally distributed 70,000 to 80,000 taels to the Wang family and the Shi family. Counting these silvers in it, his own money accounted for nearly 70%. After rounding off, the 300,000 taels were all for himself.
What's wrong with that?
The difference is only tens of thousands of taels of silver. As long as I insist that the money is earned from my sea trade business, who can find out this confusing account?
Unless Wang Ziteng takes the initiative to confess!
But once he confesses, he will be charged with bribing courtiers [the money was originally intended to be paid to officials and merchants in Zhejiang and Zhejiang] and transferring property.
So this matter can never be exposed.
Hearing what she said with great certainty, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief. After that, the old lady and Jia Zheng told Wang Xifeng a few more words, asking her to prepare all the evidence that could be prepared, and then began to make arrangements for preparations in advance.
, in order to prepare for the inspection that is likely to come.
Seeing that everything that could be prepared was almost done, and the old lady lost her energy, Jia Zheng was about to stand up and announce that the meeting was adjourned temporarily, when he suddenly heard Lin Zhixiao reporting outside the door that someone from the Jiao family had sent a letter.
letter.
Jia Zheng hurriedly ordered him to send it in for viewing, but he saw that the letter had been opened and read. He thought it was the censor who was patrolling the city on duty. He was slightly unhappy, but he didn't dare to care about anything. He was busy
Shake it open and take a closer look.
After reading it, I couldn't help but frown and shake my head.
He originally thought that the letter from the Jiao family at this time must be that Jiao Shun had some important instructions, but he never thought...
"What's wrong?"
The old lady asked subconsciously.
Jia Zheng then presented the letter with both hands and said, "This is the letter written by Girl Yun."
Jia Mu took it and looked at it briefly, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It's rare that Miss Yun is interested. Let's forget it. Nowadays, the family is often in trouble. It would be good for the Jiao family to take Daiyu over and live there for a while, so as not to be disturbed again."
