Plus there was someone behind him.

Therefore, this Junior Prefect of Jingzhao was not afraid at all, and said coldly: "This official is also upholding the law impartially; if you are dissatisfied, you can write a letter to speak directly."

"In short, the person must be taken away today."

"Please don't make it difficult for this subordinate."

Once this was said, Jia She, Jia Mu, and the others all had ugly expressions.

Angry but helpless.

The other party clearly didn't give them face.

What could they do?

"Master, Old Lady, save me!!"

"Second Master, save me!"

"I did all this for our Jia family, our Rongguo Prefecture, you cannot ignore me!"

Xing Lady screamed miserably.

【490】 The women who kept their distance from Jia Zheng, Zhao Paner's Sima Zhao's heart

But there was nothing they could do.

Jia She and the others, including Jia Mu, had no way to save her.

In the end, she was taken away.

Everyone except Zhao Paner felt a sense of sympathy.

Although they did not like Xing Lady's character.

But the other party was ultimately a member of the Jia family.

When Wang Shanbao's wife, who was involved, was also taken away together.

And some people who borrowed money were also invited to testify.

After the people disappeared.

After Hearing Tanchun came back to her senses, she asked with concern: "Second Master, how will this be judged?"

Everyone looked at Jia Zheng, who was one of the few in the family with an official position.

Although he was only a fifth-rank official.

And Jia Lian?

A donated official of the sixth or seventh rank, let alone.

"Practicing usury, according to the law, the borrower is dismissed from office, and the creditor is punished with a cangue for one month."

"Officials who 'lend money for debt' within their jurisdiction are punished with eighty strokes of the cane."

"Xing is not an official, so those who violate it are punished with forty strokes of the cane. Those who calculate the stolen goods with surplus interest are judged by the stolen goods. The crime stops at one hundred strokes of the cane."

Simply put.

Xing Lady's final result.

Would be sentenced to forty strokes of the cane.

Jia 20 Zheng said angrily, mourning her misfortune, "If Xing had a title, she could be lightly spared, at most losing her title status, but she herself would be at least unharmed."

"But she doesn't, it's truly self-inflicted."

He did not have any intention of empathy.

Xing Lady did not have a title.

Wang Lady did.

This was because Wang Lady was the legitimately married wife.

Xing Lady was a successor wife.

The predecessor did have one.

But that person had already passed away.

These years, unless Jia She had new merits, the Emperor would not bestow a title.

Like Yuan Niang of the Xu mansion, before marrying Xu Lingyi, at that time he was a sesame-sized official, so she had no title, and even after Xu Lingyi inherited the Marquis title, she still did not obtain a title.

That was why Yuan Niang was always hoping that Xu Lingyi would make merits so she could get a title, but Xu Lingyi would not give it to her, which led to resentment.

Seeing Jia Zheng's heartless words.

Li Wan, Hearing Tanchun, Yingchun, Daiyu, and others all felt cold.

Keeping even more distance from Jia Zheng.

After all, ancient times emphasized covering up for relatives.

Jia Zheng's act of destroying relatives for righteousness was not likable.

Not to mention, as Xing Lady said.

She was doing things for the Rongguo Prefecture now, no matter how you put it.

Although it was usury.

The proverb says: Usury, one returns three; interest rolls interest, turning over year after year; borrowed for one year, paid back for ten years; for several generations, it can never be paid back!

Usury is certainly not good.

But not everyone who practices usury is a person who is not benevolent for the sake of wealth.

Some orphans of large families or widows without labor ability, etc., in order to maintain their lives, would sell their rented houses, etc., to raise a sum of money and put it into usury to make a profit for living.

The situation of the current Rongguo Prefecture.

Was not far from that.

Therefore.

Li Wan and the others generally had a sympathetic attitude towards Xing Lady.

Added to how he treated Wang Lady before.

For these women like Li Wan, they naturally had no good feelings for Jia Zheng.

But naturally, it was not easy to say it clearly.

Everyone just thought about it in their hearts.

"Humph, the outside is increasingly not taking our Rongguo Prefecture and the Jia family seriously."

"It's all Jia Hui's fault; if it weren't for him, toppling the Ning mansion, and the Wang family, etc., how could we be like this?"

At this moment, Jia She said with extreme resentment.

He attributed all the faults to Jia Hui.

Jia Mu was silent.

Just now, even the Jingzhao Prefecture did not give their Rongguo Prefecture face.

Forcibly wanting to take people away.

It was also a great blow to her.

If it were half a year ago.

Even the Jingzhao Prefecture Governor would have to treat them respectfully.

How would they dare to be like this?

Although the evidence of Jia Zhen and others' treason was conclusive.

But without Jia Hui solving the case and arresting people.

It would indeed not have come to this.

And Jia Hui had repeatedly plundered the Rong mansion's money!

Jia Mu kept all these in her heart.

Although Jia Lian, Jia Baoyu, and others were at fault first.

She still thought Jia Hui was the biggest culprit!

But now.

Yuan Chun had already married Jia Hui.

The only plan now.

Is to rely on Jia Hui to preserve the Rongguo Prefecture.
