Chapter 481

This was a common occurrence in ancient times.

Let alone lending money at high interest.

Killing people and setting fires were common occurrences for the powerful and wealthy.

There were plenty of people who could retreat unscathed.

But the premise is.

Your power must be solid, or someone must be willing to protect you.

"That's right, this is a private matter of our Rongguo Prefecture, so there is no need to trouble the yamen."

Jia She endured the pain, but had to scold Lady Xing: "Why don't you take out some money, so as not to let the officials make a wasted trip."

This was bribery.

Lady Xing could not care about much else either.

Protecting herself was the priority.

She hurriedly nodded and agreed, letting her capable confidant, Wang Wang Wang Shanbao's wife, go get the money.

Although Wang Wang Wang Shanbao's wife felt the pain, she had no choice but to agree.

Then, under the mocking gazes of the maids and servants, she went to get the money.

Lady Xing was greedy for money, selfish, narrow-minded, suspicious, and often disregarded family affection for personal gain, let alone being considerate of servants.

Therefore, Lady Xing was very disliked in front of Jia Mu and had no popularity in the entire Jia Prefecture.

Because of this, although she was named the Eldest Lady, it was difficult for her to intervene in the affairs of the prefecture or have a say; everyone kept their distance, Love Love Like a lonely person.

Love Love Like master, Love Love Like servant; one can imagine what kind of person Wang Wang Wang Shanbao's wife was, and because she was never successful, her disappointment and resentment naturally grew day by day.

At this moment, the two master and servant being so embarrassed made the servants feel satisfied.

"No need."

But before Wang Wang Wang Shanbao's wife could take the money.

The official interrupted the other party.

Everyone looked at him in astonishment.

He said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The Prefecture Governor already knows about this matter and wants us to investigate strictly... Now that Lady Xing has pleaded guilty, just come with us to the yamen for a trip!"

Lending money at high interest, that is, usury.

It is also illegal in the Great Great Great Qian.

For example, Lady Wang of the Sheng family also lent money at high interest, using the Sheng family's household funds to earn interest for Aunt Kang to spend; Sheng Hong was indeed furious and directly took away Lady Wang's household management power.

There is a reason why Sheng Hong was so angry.

It is the same situation as the Jia family.

Sheng Hong might not care about Lady Wang's life or death.

But there are many eyes in the imperial city watching everyone at all times; if this handle falls into the hands of someone with ulterior motives, I am afraid it will not be as simple as the Sheng family losing its reputation!

The future and lifeline of the entire Sheng family will be ruined; after all, breaking the law while knowing the law is no small matter.

Especially since she is Sheng Changbai's mother, it will directly affect Changbai's official career; their entire Sheng family is connected, and no one will be able to escape when the time comes.

By the same token.

Now, Lady Xing's lending of money at high interest can be big or small.

If there is no intention to make it big.

The only one who suffers is Lady Xing, and she can even be exempted from punishment.

If it is made big, the entire Jia family will not get any good.

"Old Matriarch, Master, save me!!"

Upon hearing that she was going to be taken to the yamen.

Lady Xing screamed in terror.

With a thud, she knelt down directly.

Seeing that this official dared to refuse, Jia She scolded in shame and anger: "She is my wife, Jia She, the Eldest Lady of the Rongguo Prefecture; you dare to arrest her, are you looking for death!"

This official snorted coldly in his heart.

So what if it's the Rongguo Prefecture?

Do you still think it's the same as before?

Now the Ningguo Prefecture is gone.

The remaining Rongguo Prefecture's influence in the military is far less than before.

And the Wang family is gone.

Most of the other founding families are also increasingly failing.

Everyone can see that the founding families are now far less than before.

Not to mention this matter.

It was led by a big shot!

This big shot is none other than.

It is the Earl of Marquis Marquis Wushuang of the Marquis Marquis Wushuang Earl Prefecture!

That's right.. 0

The culprit is Jia Hui.

Jia Hui had previously promised Seeing Seeing Fengjie, and recently promised Lady Wang.

Therefore.

Now both women have become his women.

He naturally has to help.

To retaliate against the Rongguo Prefecture.

Therefore, he kept a close eye on the Rongguo Prefecture and took the opportunity to plot against them.

Speaking of which, this is the same as Prince Prince Prince Zhongshun.

This Rongguo Prefecture is also truly miserable.

Offending both Jia Hui and Prince Prince Prince Zhongshun at the same time.

Naturally, they have to be played to death!

And the process is not complicated.

Jia Hui's subordinates secretly contacted Zhao Zhao Zhao Paner.

And offered a plan to Zhao Zhao Zhao Paner.

Zhao Zhao Zhao Paner is stupid by nature and loves doing things that harm others for her own benefit.

She thought this was a great opportunity to topple Lady Xing.

Therefore, she did not care about other consequences.

Or rather, her pig-headed brain could not think that far.

So she secretly recorded every move of Lady Xing.

Recorded all the things about her lending money at high interest to the servants.

And then let her son, Jia Huan.

Write the evidence with his left hand and send it to the prefecture yamen.

At this moment, Zhao Zhao Zhao Paner was extremely excited, thinking that after Lady Xing fell, she would surely be able to take her position.

This official is actually not just an official, but accurately speaking, the Junior Governor of Jingzhao.

The Junior Governor of Jingzhao is an auxiliary official of the Jingzhao Prefecture, equivalent to the Left and Right Vice Ministers of the Six Ministries, with two members 1.0, belonging to the lower fourth rank.

In charge of the prefecture's affairs.

If it were a few months ago, he would not have dared to offend the Jia family.

Now the entire Jia family and the founding families are far less than before.
