Chapter 268 I can’t do it!

"As for the other branches..."

When Emperor Jingshun said this, he hesitated slightly.

It seems a little unbearable.

But thinking about what the Zhen family had done, he quickly calmed down and continued:

"Anyone involved in the salt industry or colluding with Japanese pirates will have their belongings confiscated and returned to the state treasury! The men will be transported three thousand miles away to strengthen the army!"

As soon as these words came out, it was like putting the Zhen family in trouble!

The Wei Dynasty was a clan society, and all clans were closely related.

It is truly a case of both prosperity and loss.

Unfortunately, rights and obligations always have to match.

The head of the Zhen family is not only seeking profit for himself, but other branches are also involved.

When the ministers reacted, they wanted to praise him.

It can be seen that Emperor Jingshun sighed first and then added:

"Huh~! As for the Zhen family's women and children, please forgive them. This can be regarded as an explanation for the old concubine's spirit in heaven."

After all, the Zhen family is his biological mother's natal family.

At the last moment, Emperor Jingshun couldn't help but feel soft when he thought of the old concubine.

He did not directly sentence the whole family to execution, but left a trace of kindness for the Zhen family.

This trace of kindness saved the women and children of the Zhen family.

Only the male member of the Zhen family received the punishment he deserved.

However, only women and children were left in the clan.

The Zhen family, which had been famous in Jiangnan since then, was completely finished.

Especially once the charge of colluding with Japanese pirates came out, Jiangnan was afraid that there would no longer be a place for the Zhen family.

Carrying such an infamy, it is even more difficult to turn around.

Although things did not go as smoothly as Feng Yibo expected,

That is to say, there is no massacre.

But no matter what, the final verdict comes out.

Lin Ruhai also felt that the great revenge had been avenged!

Thinking of all the men in the Zhen family's family being killed, most of the branches would also be expelled from the army.

I understand the hatred towards my wife.

At this moment, Lin Ruhai couldn't help but burst into tears.

However, thinking that he was still in the Golden Palace, he quickly controlled his emotions.

Then the first person to react came to his senses, bowed to Danbi, and shouted:

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for taking the decision for the people of Jiangnan and bringing a bright future to Jiangnan!"

Feng Yibo saw the state of his old father-in-law and knew that the matter was finally settled.

He immediately accepted it and said:

"Your Majesty is wise! The people killed by the Zhen family can finally rest in peace!"

Subsequently, countless words of praise poured out from the mouths of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

The farce ended completely with the end of the court meeting.

The reason why it is said to be a farce is actually because...

Those who call themselves Jiangnan people except Lin Ruhai and Feng Yibo.

Most of them are not from Jiangnan!

Rather, he is a newly promoted nobleman from the border area.

Those who really came from Jiangnan were from the lineage of the founding heroes.

But when they saw that the Zhen family was in danger, they didn't say a word from the beginning to the end.

As for the Japanese pirates, they didn't care at all.

Feng Yibo and Lin Ruhai went down to court and called out to Jia Zheng.

After the two sides met with each other, Feng Yibo said first:

"My uncle has rarely been involved in such things. Why did he intercede for the Zhen family today?"

Lin Ruhai also looked dissatisfied and said with resentment:

"Second uncle, you shouldn't have interfered in this matter!"

He wanted to avenge Jia Min, but he didn't expect Jia Min's brother to protect the Zhen family.

This made Lin Ruhai inevitably a little resentful towards Jia Zheng.

However, he did not discuss this matter with Jia Zheng in detail.

So it was just a bit of resentment, and I didn't really blame my uncle.

The final result has come out, and now the great revenge has been avenged.

Just now in the main hall, both sides were arguing.

At this time, Lin Ruhai had such a tone and temperament again.

Jia Zheng was inevitably a little embarrassed and said:

"Ruhai, Yibo, it's a long story."

The two people in front of him are not outsiders like him.

One is his sister-in-law, and the other is his nephew-in-law.

Jia Zheng did not choose to avoid it, but looked around first.

Seeing that no one was paying attention, he said:

"Originally, when I came back from Yazhou, I have been recuperating at home and did not pay attention to the affairs of the court. However, the empress sent word a few days ago that she asked my Zhen family to intercede."

Speaking of this, Jia Zheng couldn't help but smile bitterly and explained:

"I thought that the Zhen family has been an old relative for many years, and the empress was only able to be where she is today thanks to the grace of the old dowager, so I agreed, and I came here specially to attend today's court meeting."

Everything about the Zhen family has been published in the newspapers, and all the officials in the court are aware of it.

Yuanchun learned about it from Mrs. Wang's mouth.

After knowing this, Yuanchun naturally remembered the old concubine's instructions to her.

That is at the critical moment, I hope she can help the Zhen family.

So, she asked Mrs. Wang to tell her father Jia Zheng.

Let him intercede for the Zhen family in court.

Otherwise, with Jia Zheng's dull sense, he might not be involved in this matter.

You may not even know this.

However, when he learned that his old relative was in trouble, Yuanchun sent another message.

Jia Zheng did not consider the consequences and directly begged the court for mercy.

Yuanchun himself was not idle, and went directly to Emperor Jingshun in the palace.

In this way, father and daughter are in tandem, one inside and one outside.

They were all very determined to fight for the lives of the Zhen family.

"I didn't expect that this matter has something to do with you and your son-in-law. Don't you think this is a flood that has washed away the Dragon King Temple?"

When Feng Yibo and Lin Ruhai heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other.

They only thought about the reactions of the ministers in the court, but they forgot about Yuanchun, the virtuous concubine whom the old concubine supported.

Fortunately, the dust has settled now, and the Zhen family has received the punishment they deserve.

The three people here talked for a while and then went back to their homes without mentioning it.

It is only said that Emperor Jingshun returned to the harem and walked towards Fengzao Palace.

It has been nearly half a year since Yuanchun gave birth to her child.

But Emperor Jingshun had always been a little dissatisfied with her.

Because except for this virtuous concubine, the other concubines still haven't moved.
