Chapter 804

【557】 Jia Lian jumps, Yucun makes a scene in Rongxi Hall.

Li Gui was Jia Baoyu's servant.

This person was ordinary, yet unusual.

First, he was Li Mama's son, Baoyu's foster brother, and personal attendant.

Although he didn't know books, he could parrot things like "Yo-yo deer cry, lotus leaf duckweed," but he was quite sensible. When the naughty boys made a scene in the school, it was thanks to his earnest persuasion and pointing out everyone's faults that the matter was settled.

He was also a decent male servant in the Jia Prefecture, with servants to serve him.

This was a bit like Siqi beside Yingchun, who was both a maid and a deputy young lady.

Second, what was most unusual was his name.

Li Gui, the homophone is "Fierce Ghost"!

You must know,

the names in "Dream of the Red Chamber" all have their meanings.

Even the servants were like this.

The names of Jia Zheng, Jia She, Jia Zhu, and Jia Lian, who were involved in political implications, were examples.

Therefore,

this Li Gui might very well become a fierce ghost for the Jia family or Jia Baoyu later!

He might even be the spy of the Loyal Shun Prince in the Jia family.

And Jia Baoyu knew nothing about this.

He even felt that he was extremely good to Li Gui.

It was impossible for him to betray himself.

Seeing Li Gui come in to shout, Jia Baoyu, who was dissatisfied because his sisters didn't like to chat with him, felt dissatisfied.

He vented his anger on him, saying, "Li Gui, what are you shouting about? Isn't it just that the office is here? You're so noisy."

Li Gui was startled.

Jia Mu, Jia Zheng, and Li Wan and the other women frowned.

They heard that something was wrong.

Because according to their understanding, Li Gui was still a quite clever and sensible person.

And he wasn't someone who hadn't seen the world.

So it was impossible for him to be rash.

So this matter was definitely not simple.

Jia Zheng immediately reprimanded the big-faced treasure: "You wicked creature, what are you shouting about? Wait until they finish speaking."

Jia Baoyu was scolded and immediately shut his mouth, not daring to make a sound.

He was still very afraid of Jia Zheng.

Jia Mu, who had always loved Jia Baoyu, couldn't care about her most beloved grandson at this moment.

Looking at Li Gui, she hurriedly urged: "The office is here, what are you panicking about? Hurry up and say, what is going on?"

Li Gui hurriedly said: "Old Lady, the situation is like this. If it were the usual office coming, I certainly wouldn't be so anxious. But today is different. They have become fierce and evil. Just looking at this posture, it is..."

"Here to arrest people!"

Before he could finish his words, someone outside added to his words.

Everyone looked in astonishment.

They saw a large group of office runners from the office coming from outside.

The leader was none other than Jia Yucun.

Jia Yucun came in with an apologetic face and scolded an ignorant follower.

Then he strode into the hall, bowed to the Old Lady and Jia Zheng, and said: "Old Lady, Yucun is here to handle official business."

"Yucun, what is going on with you?"

Jia Zheng said with suspicion.

Jia Mu, who was sitting in the main seat, reacted: "Has the case been investigated to see who committed it?"

Therefore, she smiled and said: "Good, good, good. Since you know who it is, then hurry up and arrest them, and get the stolen money back. No matter who it is, you just arrest them."

She still thought it was done by some servant.

"With you being so sensible, it is truly the blessing of our Great Gan and the Jia family."

Jia Yucun, standing in the hall, hurriedly complimented her when he saw this.

Then he looked at Jia Lian: "Then please, Brother Lian, you come with us!"

"What!?"

Hearing this!

Everyone in the Rongxi Hall was shocked!

Jia Mu, Jia Zheng, Jia She, Lady Xing, and everyone up and down.

Including Jia Baoyu, all looked at Jia Lian in astonishment.

Jia Lian himself was the most terrified!

Li Wan and the others clearly saw Jia Lian's panic and fear.

There must be something fishy!

Otherwise, it wouldn't be like this.

"But how is this possible? Brother Lian is actually a thief in the house?" Tanchun and the others all felt absurd and unbelievable.

Jia Lian, standing on the west side, said to Jia Yucun: "You, what do you mean by this? What are you doing going to the office? Is it to help identify something?"

He still intended to struggle on his deathbed, thinking it hadn't reached the most difficult time.

Looking at this Jia Lian, Jia Yucun sighed helplessly, and then said: "Brother Lian, the matter of you colluding with outsiders to steal hundreds of thousands of taels of silver from the Rongguo Prefecture has been exposed. We have already caught the accomplices of the river and lake thieves!"

"No. Impossible, you are talking nonsense!!"

Jia Lian was so scared he jumped!

"Jia Lian, what is going on here?"

Jia She was furious at this time!

He didn't expect that his son was so bold.

He was busy stealing so much money himself!

The key was that he had taken away so much of his own money!

This was what he was most angry about.

Lady Xing also glared angrily at this son in name.

Jia Mu and Jia Zheng were even more furious.

"Jia Lian! Did you do it!"

Jia Mu, angry at his failure to live up to expectations, glared at Jia Lian.

"I, I didn't."

"It's all this person talking nonsense. Yes, it must be that he can't solve the case, so he just took me to take the blame!"

Jia Lian said in a panic.

Hearing this, some people were half-believing.

Jia Baoyu naively believed Jia Lian's nonsense.

"I don't think Brother Lian is the kind of person who would do such a thing."

He spoke for Jia Lian.

Jia Lian looked at his brother gratefully.

Li Wan, Tanchun, and Daiyu were not fools.

Clearly, they all saw that Jia Lian had something fishy in his heart.

It's just that they couldn't say anything. ===== CHAPTER 805 =====
