Chapter 709

This was a common occurrence in ancient times.

Let alone usury.

Killing and arson were common occurrences for the powerful and wealthy.

There were many people who could retreat unscathed.

But the premise was.

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

"That's right, this is a private matter of our Rongguo Prefecture, so don't bother the office."

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

This was bribery.

Xing Lady could not care about much else either.

Saving herself was the priority.

She nodded in a hurry and let her capable confidant, Wang Shanbao's wife, go to get the money.

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

Then, under the mocking gazes of the maids and servants, she was about to go get the money.

Xing Lady was greedy, selfish, narrow-minded, and suspicious; for the sake of private interest, she often disregarded family affection, let alone being considerate of servants.

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

Because of this, although she was named the eldest wife, it was difficult for her to intervene in the mansion's affairs or have a say, and everyone kept their distance from her, like a lonely person.

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

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

"No need."

Just before Wang Shanbao's wife could get 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 and wants us to investigate strictly... Now that Xing Danniangzi has already pleaded guilty, just go to the office with us for a trip!"

Usury, that is, high-interest loans.

Was also against the law in the Great Qian.

Like the Sheng family's Wang Danniangzi, who also practiced usury, using the Sheng family's household funds to earn interest for Aunt Kang to spend; Chief Sheng Hong was indeed furious and directly took away Wang Danniangzi's household management power.

There was a reason for Chief Sheng Hong's great anger.

It was the same situation as the Jia family.

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

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

The entire Sheng family's future and lifeline would be cut off; after all, knowingly breaking the law was not a small matter.

Especially since she was Sheng Changbai's mother, it would directly affect Changbai's official career; their entire Sheng family was connected, and no one would be able to run away when the time came.

By the same token.

Now Xing Lady's practice of usury could be big or small.

If they didn't want to make it big.

The one suffering would only be Xing Lady, and she could even be exempted from punishment.

If it was made big, the entire Jia family would not benefit.

"Old Lady, Master, save me!!"

Hearing that she was going to be taken to the office.

Xing Lady shouted in terror.

With a thud, she knelt down directly.

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

This official sneered in his heart.

So what if it's the Rongguo Prefecture?

Still think it's the same as before?

Now the Ningguo Prefecture is gone.

The remaining Rongguo Prefecture's momentum in the military is not as good as before.

And the Wang family is gone too.

Most of the other founding lineages are also increasingly failing.

Everyone can see that the founding lineage is not as good as before.

Not to mention this matter.

It was led by a big shot!

This big shot was none other than.

The Wushuang Marquis of the Wushuang Marquis Mansion!

That's right.. 0

The culprit was Jia Hui.

Jia Hui had promised Fengjie before, and recently promised Wang Lady again.

Therefore.

Now both women had become his women.

He naturally had to help.

To take revenge on the Rongguo Prefecture.

Therefore, he kept a close eye on the Rongguo Prefecture, taking the opportunity to harm them.

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

This Rongguo Prefecture was also truly miserable.

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

Naturally, they were going to be played to death!

And the process was not complicated.

Jia Hui's men secretly contacted Zhao Paner.

And offered a plan to Zhao Paner.

Zhao Paner was stupid, and she loved doing things that harmed others for her own benefit.

Thinking this was a great opportunity to topple Xing Lady.

Therefore, she ignored all other consequences.

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

So she secretly recorded every move of Xing Lady.

Recording all the things she did to put servants into usury.

And now let her son, Jia Huan.

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

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

This official was actually not just an official, but accurately speaking, the Junior Prefect of Jingzhao.

The Junior Prefect of Jingzhao was an assistant 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 secondary affairs of the prefecture.

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 lineage are not as good as before.
