Chapter 513

"Although he has become a cripple, it does not mean he has no value."

"Have you heard a saying of the Master?"

"Waste utilization!"

After carefully reading the intelligence content handed over by Bai Lang, Jia Xu smiled.

Bai Lang’s eyes lit up: "The Master’s words are truly incisive!"

"Alright, stop the flattery."

"Chief Clerk Bai, the Master has asked me to give you a task."

"Please instruct me, sir."

The previously devil-may-care Bai Lang had matured significantly after a month or two of training and managing a large number of subordinates.

He cupped his hands solemnly.

Jia Xu calmly conveyed Jia Hui’s instructions: "Absorb this Liu Liu Liu Xianglian and make him a mid-level subordinate of the Jinzou Jia. Later, ask the divine physician Hua Tuo to go and treat his illness. If he can be cured, that’s best; if not, it doesn't matter. Then give him some silver and dignity, and he will be loyal to the death."

As the person who understood the human heart best in the world,

he was certain that

under Liu Liu Liu Xianglian’s current circumstances of suffering humiliation and becoming a cripple, as long as he could be given a chance,

given the dignity he lacked, a healed body, and a good material life,

one need not fear that such a person would not sell his life for you!

Bai Lang nodded after hearing this: "Understood."

"Then give him a few subordinates."

"Have him contact Jia Jia Jia Lian and lure that Jia Jia Jia Lian into becoming a mole. Work from the inside and out to steal the silver newly acquired by the household."

"Would Jia Jia Jia Lian do such a thing?"

Bai Lang was stunned.

"He will. A person Love Love Like him definitely will!"

The unruffled Jia Xu just gave a light smile.

"Then, incidentally, let out word about the transaction of the manor between this Jia Jia Jia Lian and the Peerless Earl’s Mansion."

"If we can lure out some people with bad intentions, that’s best; capture them all together."

"However, the main purpose is that this will strengthen Jia Jia Jia Lian’s evil heart, giving him a reason to say that it was stolen by outsiders, providing him an opportunity to deceive everyone!"

"At the same time, this is also a way to clear our Peerless Earl’s Mansion of suspicion, preventing the Jia household from framing us after the theft."

Bai Lang felt a chill down his spine after hearing this.

These strategists were too wicked.

The methods they used to scheme against people were endless.

And it was one link after another.

Truly amazing.

"Yes, sir, I understand! I will go arrange it right away!"

Bai Lang said hurriedly.

Jia Xu stopped him and reminded: "Remember, the order cannot be wrong!"

"First, let out the word so the outside world knows about the transaction. Then, buy over and absorb Liu Liu Liu Xianglian, and lure Jia Jia Jia Lian into working from the inside and out to steal hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. However, 'someone' will strike first and move most of the silver away, leaving Jia Jia Jia Lian to take the fall."

"At this time, Jia Yucun’s Capital Prefecture Magistrate office will solve the case. Do not let them solve it smoothly; let Jia Yucun take a fall so he knows how deep the water in this capital is. When he comes to beg our Peerless Earl’s Mansion for help, then give him a portion of the stolen money. At the same time, capture Jia Jia Jia Lian and the others!"

"Yes."

After Bai Lang noted it all down, he did not leave through the main gate.

He quietly climbed over a wall and left.

After Jia Xu watched him leave,

he pondered for a moment to ensure there were no omissions,

then revealed a smile.

Then he looked toward the direction of the courtyard far in the back and stroked his beard, muttering: "With the Master’s style of a war of attrition, growing stronger the more he fights, that Lady Jia will likely take a heavy beating. It seems it won't stop even at dusk; there's no need to go out today."

So he leisurely brewed tea, drank tea, read books, read newspapers, and read intelligence reports.

Three or four hours later,

just as Jia Xu had predicted,

it was not until dusk

that this long war finally sounded the retreat.

The result, however, was a pyrrhic victory for Jia Hui after a fierce war!

He had lost countless elite soldiers to achieve victory.

If that wasn't a pyrrhic victory, what was?

The setting sun fell inch by inch from the Western Mountains, and the soft, bright moon slowly climbed up from the east. In this process, one by one, the twinkling stars also struggled out from the dark night, shining together.

Making this cold night even colder.

The north wind howled, and heavy snow danced.

However, inside the luxurious, imposing, and vast Peerless Earl’s Mansion,

whether it was the masters or the servants,

none felt it was very cold.

At least it was much warmer than this time in previous years.

This was thanks to the appearance of honeycomb briquettes.

As the inventor and sole supplier of honeycomb briquettes,

the Peerless Earl’s Mansion naturally did not lack honeycomb briquettes or coal.

So everywhere in the mansion, there was a scene Love Love Like a fire stove.

Qin Qin Keqing, Zhao Zhao Zhao Paner, Lady Wang, Jia Jia Yuanchun, and the other ladies did not go to sleep early because of this.

In a large, brightly lit hall,

everyone was waiting to start eating.

Then they would gather together to play cards.

Young, beautiful maids carried stacks of fresh, mouth-watering green vegetables, sliced into thin rolls and arranged on white porcelain plates, along with various red meat slices: fatty beef, pork tenderloin, pork skin, chicken feet, frog, duck webs, beef bone marrow, and so on.

There were also mushrooms and matsutake mushrooms sent as tribute from Nanzhao, cordyceps from Tibet, vermicelli from mountain caves, palace tofu, and precious specialties from various places...

These ingredients,

some were ordinary, while others were transported from all over the country, just Love Love Like the South-to-North Water Diversion Project.

Delicacies from land and sea were nothing more than this.

Just this one table,

how many families' annual expenses would it cost?

But for the Peerless Earl’s Mansion, it was commonplace.

And the Peerless Earl’s Mansion could fully afford it, unlike the Rongguo Mansion, where they ate worse day by day.

Dozens of women gathered around several large tables.

On top were steaming copper stoves.

The aroma of various ingredients permeated the air.

The ladies were filled with laughter and joy.

"Eating hot pot in winter is the best!"

Sun Sun Sun Sanniang, without any image, freely rolled up her sleeves, revealing arms as white as snow, and said heroically with a face full of smiles.

Sister-in-law Liu also had a face full of smiles and nodded in agreement, "First Lady, sisters, come and taste this. This is a new type of hot pot base that Second Sister and I developed together. Taste it and see how it is!"

Qin Qin Keqing was thinking of her man: "Jin Jin Yuanyang, quickly tell someone to go see if the Master and the others are ready."

"Yes, My Lady."

In the bedroom where Jia Hui was.
