He even swore that he must snatch Seeing Jiao Xing back in the future.

[Congratulations to the Master for permanently obtaining Seeing Jiao Xing, Jia Yucun temporarily gives up on Seeing Jiao Xing, rewarded with 500 soldiers!]

Jia Hui heard this and secretly felt happy.

This reward was good.

Caught a fat sheep and sheared it.

However, he also noticed the last sentence.

He sneered in his heart.

This Jia Yucun really had wild ambitions, and was planning to cause trouble in the future?

But at this moment, Jia Hui ignored him.

It would be strange if he succeeded.

And after Jia Yucun made up his mind, he hurriedly skipped the matter of Seeing Jiao Xing.

Jia Yucun asked Jia Hui for help: "Marquis, the Rongguo Prefecture was stolen, and more than 500,000 taels of silver were lost. They asked our Jingzhao Prefecture to handle the case, but this case seems to have something tricky, and I have investigated it for several days and interrogated many people in the mansion, but I have gained nothing."

After finishing speaking,

he looked at Jia Hui carefully.

But saw Jia Hui had no reaction.

He had to continue: "Yucun knows that you are omnipotent, so I came to trouble you today to help solve this case. Yucun thanks you!"

Saying this, he bowed deeply to Jia Hui.

It was not surprising that he came to Jia Hui.

After all, Jia Hui could be said to be a famous case-solving king!

How many shocking cases had been easily solved by him in a single day?

Compared to his majesty on the battlefield, it was not inferior at all!

So begging at his door

was not surprising.

Love Love Like this,

Jia Hui said lightly: "I know about this matter... go back and wait for news, I will let Wenhe coordinate with you."

Jia Yucun breathed a long sigh of relief upon hearing this.

As long as Jia Hui agreed, it was fine.

It was strange to say.

This case involved more than 500,000 taels.

So much silver.

How did it disappear in a single day?

This must have been done by an insider.

But after investigating,

it seemed there were no clues at all.

Everyone had an alibi.

This had stumped him, Jia Yucun.

Because of this case,

he hadn't had a good night’s sleep for the past few days, well, although this also had something to do with losing a beautiful wife Love Love Like Seeing Jiao Xing.

In short, he was overwhelmed.

Because he was the newly appointed person in charge of the Jingzhao Prefecture.

If he couldn't achieve results,

even if he wasn't kicked out of office,

and returned to the local area to serve,

he wouldn't be able to get promoted and make a fortune!

And this involved the Rongguo Prefecture.

Such a big case.

Now many people had received the news.

At that time, the Rongguo Prefecture would be dissatisfied, and the public would also question him one after another.

That was why he was so anxious.

He had no choice but to use personal connections to beg Jia Hui.

Originally, he was still a bit uneasy.

After all, he didn't know if Jia Hui would agree.

As for whether he could handle it,

He was a bit worried.

After all, he hadn't really seen Jia Hui’s ability.

Whether it was as magical as the rumors said.

But Jia Hui at least had a reputation.

Therefore, he could only trust Jia Hui.

Otherwise, he really had no other way.

"Then Yucun will take his leave, and not disturb your reunion with your wife."

He smiled awkwardly.

Seeing that Jia Hui and Seeing Jiao Xing didn't pay attention to him,

and were hugging Seeing Jiao Xing and playing,

he left awkwardly.

After he left,

Jia Hui gave Jia Xu a look.

Jia Xu smiled and nodded.

Then he left alone, letting people contact Bai Lang and Liu Liu Liu Xianglian.

This theft case,

it was not complicated.

The difference from the theft case in the original book was that

this time the mastermind had an extra force, Jia Hui’s group,

and one less nun.

Liu Liu Liu Xianglian and Jia Hui’s elites acted together.

So Jia Yucun, relying only on his own yamen’s manpower,

naturally couldn't solve it.

And most of the silver was actually embezzled by Jia Hui.

Jia Jia Jia Lian suffered a huge loss, but didn't dare to say it out loud.

He took the blame for everything.

Now all that needed to be done was to have someone accuse him.

As long as part of the stolen money in Jia Jia Jia Lian’s hands was found,

Jia Jia Jia Lian would be finished.

And even if Jia Yucun didn't find most of the stolen money,

finding the mastermind,

and finding part of the stolen money, would be enough to finish the job!

[554] Shadows in the Rong Prefecture, long drought meets a flood.

Back to Jia Yucun.

He left the Marquis Marquis Wushuang Bo Prefecture with suspicion.

He wasn't sure if Jia Hui could handle it.

In short, he returned to the yamen with trepidation.

"Prefect, did the Marquis Marquis Wushuang Bo agree to this case?"

A Jingzhao Junior Prefect in the yamen immediately stepped forward to ask.

Jia Yucun frowned and said: "The Marquis Marquis Wushuang Bo agreed, but I’m not sure if this case can be solved."

"This matter has already been solved."

Who knew, the other party responded with a smile.

This stunned Jia Yucun.

The other party said: "With the Marquis Marquis Wushuang Bo taking action, there is no case that cannot be solved; this matter is absolutely settled."

Compared to the later Jia Yucun,

the Jingzhao Junior Prefect who had always been in the Divine Capital understood Jia Hui’s magic and power better.

That was why he said it confidently.

Jia Yucun was still suspicious.

"Then let’s wait a few days..."

Then he went to busy himself with his official duties.

He thought this case,

if Jia Hui were to handle it,

would at least take a few days.

However, who knew,

only half an hour later,

Jia Xu came over.

"Yucun, this case has been solved, go and make the arrest."

"What, solved?"

Jia Yucun, who was about to warmly entertain this popular Jinshi, was dumbfounded.

He even thought the other party was playing with him.

After all, this case,

he had handled it for several days and couldn't handle it.

And now, less than an hour had passed!

How could the case be solved?

Then,

Jia Xu proved it with facts, and also made Jia Yucun directly doubt life!

At this time,

Rongguo Prefecture.

The mansion was currently full of shadows!

Because on one hand, this was the loss of more than 500,000 taels of silver!

And it was for the Rongguo Prefecture, which was already in a very difficult state.

So Jia Mu, Jia She and his son, and Jia Zheng and others were driven crazy.

They suspected everyone.

On the other hand, Jia Mu was about to be angered to death; she only found out about the case after it couldn't be hidden, that the two manors in the family had been sold by the two prodigal sons, Jia She and his son!

What was even more infuriating was

that these hundreds of thousands of taels of silver had disappeared!

It almost angered her to death on the spot.

Inside the Rongxi Hall!

Today,

the whole family, except for Lady Wang who hadn't returned to the Rongguo Prefecture for many days,

Jia Zheng and his son Jia Jia Jia Baoyu,

Jia She and his son Jia Jia Jia Lian,

Lady Xing, Concubine Zhao,

Li Wan, the two springs, Li Wan, Lin Lin Daiyu, Shi Shi Shi Xiangyun,

were all present.

Jia Mu said angrily: "Jia She, Jia Jia Jia Lian, you two wicked obstacles, you actually hid it from me and sold the ancestral property!"

"That’s right, Big Brother, you have gone too far, this is our Jia family’s most important ancestral property."

Jia Zheng, who had never cared about family affairs, was now angry too.

After all, this was a big deal.

Seeing this,

Jia Jia Jia Baoyu, who had recovered a bit from his injuries, still didn't care, as if none of this had anything to do with him.

He sat there bored,

with a lifeless face.

Because Lin Lin Daiyu, the two springs, and Shi Shi Xiangyun didn't Love Love Like to play with him.

Even Shi Shi Xiangyun was gradually becoming cold toward him.

On one hand, she didn't Love Love Like how he treated his mother and sisters.

On the other hand, it was to avoid suspicion.

Now she was Jia Hui’s fiancée.

Jia Hui was about to marry her.

Therefore,

even the optimistic and generous Shi Shi Xiangyun had to be careful.

"Sigh, I really didn't expect that the Great Master would even sell the ancestral property."

Wearing a yellow-brown embroidered pipa-sleeved jacket and a blue-checkered dragon-patterned skirt, Hearing Hearing Tanchun raised her bright and charming face, looking at the arguing elders.

Her slender hands held a cup of hot tea to warm her hands.

Her clear voice, Love Love Like flowing jade, carried a bit of indifference:

"A family that is declining day by day, doing things this way will only lead to faster ruin."

Lin Lin Lin Daiyu, Shi Shi Xiangyun, and the others, including their maids Love Love Like Little Little Xueyan, nodded frequently.

Anyone with a brain knew this.

Having manors at least allowed for sustainable development.

Losing the manors

meant eating away at the savings, and sooner or later, it would lead to ruin.

"The Rongguo Prefecture is afraid it will become Love Love Like the Shi family in the future..." Shi Shi Xiangyun muttered.

Hearing this,

Lin Lin Daiyu, Hearing Hearing Tanchun, Jia Jia Yingchun, and the others,

including Shishu, were all shocked.

They all sympathized with Shi Shi Xiangyun very much, because she was in the Shi family, and all the women had to work hard day and night to support the whole family.

So they didn't want to follow suit.

"It shouldn't come to that, at least our generation shouldn't."
