Chapter 343

A ruthless character who was still at large even after angering princes and others!

She considered herself ruthless, but she couldn't compare to the other party.

Therefore, thinking of Jia Lian being tortured to death.

She panicked immediately:

"Marquis, I beg you, let him go."

She pleaded with a "thump" and actually knelt to Jia Hui.

Jia Hui carefully examined the other party's plump body with his eyes and said playfully: "You really love this embroidered pillow, Jia Lian!"

"He is an embroidered pillow, it's true, but he can't compare to you, Marquis, a great man and a great hero. You are a great person with great magnanimity, so please let him go."

Fengjie said with flattery and pleading.

She was truly out of options.

She could imagine.

Her only biggest backer was Wang Ziteng.

However.

The other party was now unable to protect himself and had been arrested and imprisoned.

She was a daughter of a family.

She didn't know the ins and outs of the situation.

She didn't know if Wang Ziteng could get out.

Therefore, terrified and helpless, she had to be humble to Jia Hui.

However, for her.

Kneeling actually didn't count for much.

Once she encountered something critical, damaging to her dignity, or endangering her status, Wang Xifeng would use all her tricks.

Seeing her like this.

The more she loved Jia Lian, the better!

Jia Hui knew even more that he had grasped this spicy Phoenix.

He was not a good person.

Not those great, glorious, and correct male protagonists.

He was the same kind of person as Fengjie.

If there's a chance, go for it.

Whoever blocks the way, kill them.

Even if you are the Jade Emperor, or the Tathagata Buddha, kill them all the same.

As long as he could do it.

So Jia Hui said coldly on the surface: "You think you can make me let him go by saying a few words, is there such a beautiful thing?"

"Whatever conditions you have, please just say them. I will definitely do whatever I can."

"I am willing to give you five thousand taels of silver, and search for a few beautiful maids for you."

Fengjie said hurriedly.

She was a person who was very good at observing expressions and identifying the wind and direction.

Often, before the other party had even spoken, she had already guessed it; just as the other party spoke, she had already handled it.

When Lin Daiyu entered the Jia family, Madam Wang asked if she should take the material to make clothes? Wang Xifeng said "I have already prepared it."

When the poetry club in the Grand View Garden started, as soon as Tanchun spoke, Fengjie immediately guessed that you were missing a "copper merchant who brings in money." As soon as you spoke, she had already guessed it there, so Li Wan said: "You are truly a crystal heart and glass person."

However, for what Jia Hui wanted.

She didn't know.

Love power?

Love fame?

Love wealth?

Or is it love for beauty?

A man's life is nothing more than these four things.

Power, Jia Hui, according to Fengjie's thoughts, should love it; which man doesn't love it?

But she couldn't give this.

Her own husband was just a sixth-rank small official with no power who bought his position.

Fame, she couldn't give this either.

The only things left were wealth and beauty.

So she endured the pain.

Gritted her teeth and said five thousand taels of silver.

This was her dowry.

And beautiful maids, although most of the Rongguo Prefecture had been picked away by him.

But looking again, it wasn't that she couldn't find them.

At most, she would look outside and buy them.

"Five thousand taels, are you trying to dismiss a beggar."

Jia Hui was disdainful.

Fengjie almost vomited blood after hearing this!

Five thousand taels is trying to dismiss a beggar?

Five or six hundred taels of silver can buy a courtyard!

This can buy almost ten small courtyards.

And it's still not enough!

But thinking that Jia Hui was the Wushuang Marquis.

It was normal for his appetite to be big.

Fengjie's heart was dripping blood, she endured the pain and gritted her teeth: "Twenty thousand taels!"

"Marquis, this is all the money I can take out!"

"Including my dowry and so on!"

【247】Fengjie, you also don't want your husband to be bullied in prison, right? Fengjie: You are just a Malagasy civet!

After saying this, her face turned a bit white.

Because this was truly her limit.

Relying solely on the dowry was far from enough.

Most of it was money she had made from taking bribes and lending money at high interest during the time she had married into the Rongguo Prefecture.

Officials taking bribes and giving bribes is simply an open secret.

The imperial court even openly sold official positions and titles at marked prices.

Dai Quan sold an official position, received 1200 taels of silver, and got Jia Rong a fifth-rank Long Jinwei reserve position; it was actually a friendship price, a blood-loss clearance sale!

And then there was that unlucky Sun Shaozu, the Zhongshan wolf, who wanted to seek an official position in the Ministry of War, and immediately had to give Jia She 5000 taels of silver; the matter wasn't handled, the money was lost, and he couldn't get it back. In the end, he had to curse and take it out on Yingchun, saying she was for debt repayment.

And Fengjie was the same.

She seized power at the Tiejian Temple, helped the Zhang landlord family and the garrison family break off their engagement, and immediately collected 3000 taels of silver.

Later, she did many such things.

Finally, there was lending money at high interest.

Actually, to put it plainly, it was usury.

Fengjie deducted monthly allowances to lend money for interest; not only did she take the servants' money to deduct, she even dared to misappropriate the old lady Jia Mu's and the Madam's, deducting them first without issuing them, and even if it was "ten or eight taels of scattered money," she had to save it together and lend it out.

Taking the monthly allowance of the inner house in a year, she could earn "thousands of taels of silver" in less than a year.

Calculating overall, the silver Fengjie could handle and take to lend at high interest in a year was only about a few thousand taels of silver.

The lending time was also only a few short days each month, but she could actually obtain more than 1000 taels of interest.
