The entire Rongguo Mansion was in an uproar because of the arrest of Zhou Rui, the second house steward.
Mrs. Wang's plan to seek help from Jia Mu was very successful. Jia Mu was quite dissatisfied with the eldest man's behavior of "deliberately targeting" the second wife.
However, the elder obviously didn't want to cause any conflicts with the government. He had been living in another courtyard these days, and when he asked people to invite him, he always pushed back and forth, which made Jia Mu very angry.
"A rebellious son, a rebellious son, a truly unfilial and rebellious son!"
She directly called Lian Er to scold the elder, and asked Lian Er to find the elder. She had something important to say.
What important thing?
Isn't it just to stand up for the second bedroom?
Lian Er felt extremely unhappy. Together with the eldest man, he arrested a second house manager who was committing illegal crimes. The old lady thought that the eldest man was seeking personal revenge?
Do you think you look down upon the eldest man too much?
With the great master's ability, can a mere declining Rongguo Mansion stand in the eyes of the great master?
The old lady is still addicted to the glory of the past, and the second wife is fixated on the title in the palace. What if one day the eldest master gets completely fed up and asks his son to give up the title?
It is estimated that by then, the two houses of Rongguo Mansion will be completely separated, or even divided into clans!
I'm afraid that by then, the old lady will be so regretful that her intestines will turn green.
Naturally, Lian Er did not dare to refuse the old lady's request face to face, but turned around and threw it aside.
Just kidding, the elder has made it clear that he doesn’t want to go back to his hometown recently, so he still runs to find someone. Isn’t he asking for trouble?
Faced with Lian Er's perfunctory attitude and the eldest master's avoidance, Jia Mu felt that her authority was being challenged, and she almost couldn't stand it anymore, and was ready to come to the eldest master's door in person to make him look good.
Until this day...
"What, Shuntian Prefecture officials arrested the second outer housekeeper of Duke Li Guo's residence?"
In Rongqing Hall, Jia Mu was stunned when she heard the news brought by Lai Da, the general manager.
"Yes, old lady!"
Lai Da wiped the hot sweat from his forehead and said carefully: "It is said that he was captured because he occupied people's fields outside and forced them to death!"
In my heart, I couldn't help but tremble.
The Lai family has done a lot of things like this, but no one was killed.
He was afraid of the big boss to the core. He could survive two boats of assassins armed with bows and arrows, and could kill all the assassins. His strength was a bit too strong.
Now that he saw that the eldest master seemed to be ruthlessly punishing the servants of the wealthy family, his heart was racing.
If you accidentally get targeted by the big boss, you won't be as lucky as him.
He was aware of the arrest of Zhou Rui, the second house steward, the second wife's seeking help from the old lady, and the rumors going on among the servants in the house, but he had no intention of getting involved.
What a bunch of idiots. If the eldest master really wants to punish Zhou Rui, even if the old lady comes forward, it will probably be useless. Now acting as a monster in the house or even ruining the eldest master's name will not only have no effect, but will only cause big trouble.
Due to the master's disgust, Zhou Rui, who was originally very capable of getting out of jail, may continue to be imprisoned in the Shuntian Mansion Prison because of the turmoil in the mansion.
He really guessed it!
How could a mere Zhou Rui fall into the eyes of the great master?
The elder didn't even know about the arrest of Zhou Rui. He suddenly made a move when he saw Zhou Rui and his men almost forcing a poor family to death while on patrol.
The eldest master has long since set the rules. He can ignore those gray areas and even shady industries in the capital, but there must be no murder cases in broad daylight. This is the bottom line.
Otherwise, the patrol officer can arrest the person directly, and if something goes wrong, the boss promises to take care of it!
If another official were to take charge of the daily work of Shuntian Mansion, I am afraid that the officials below would not believe his promise. There are too many powerful people in the capital.
Although Shuntian Mansion is important, there are too many beings that cannot be offended. In addition, there are many relatives, friends and old friends. If one person is not good enough, he may attract powerful characters that he cannot afford to offend.
An ordinary Shuntian Prefecture Yin, if he wants to be successful, not only must he have a profound background, but he must also be able to 'be a man', let alone Shuntian Prefecture Cheng.
In addition to having a bright future in the future, such a boss of Shuntian Prefecture is actually very unpopular with low-level officials and government servants, forcing them to become grandsons in life.
No one is willing to be humble. No matter if he meets a high-ranking official or a well-dressed guy, he has to greet him with a smile, for fear of accidentally offending someone who could kill someone. You can imagine the frustration in his heart.
What's more, there is an official who is enthusiastic about benevolence and righteousness. He was made passionate and passionate by the false words of Shuntian Prefecture Yin. As a result, when something really happened, he was directly treated as a scapegoat.
If you see too much, your heart will become cold. Since you can't afford to offend those with backing, then just squeeze the people at the lower level. No one is born a bad person, they are all forced out by the environment.
Until the elder took charge of the daily official affairs of the Shuntian Prefecture, and when all the officials had no time to react, he directly confronted Prince Zhongshun. Such a strong performance immediately convinced the officials of the Shuntian Prefecture.
With such a powerful boss, the officials of Shuntian Prefecture have straightened their backs a lot.
The eldest master is not yet a master of power. Most of the power is delegated to the officials of Shuntian Prefecture. The only requirement is not to oppress the people too much.
Asking them not to benefit from the people at all, the elder said that he didn't have the ability, as long as they didn't make too much trouble. Although the officials of Shuntian Prefecture were dissatisfied with such a request, they were still within the tolerance range.
After the black sheep among the official officials were eliminated, the morale of the official officials in Sunchon Prefecture became more and more high, and the cohesion was different from the past.
The eldest master did not deliberately order his subordinates to target the wealthy servants, but these guys were used to being arrogant. Even though they had been told to be honest by the head of the family for a while, as time went by and they saw that Shuntian Mansion did not make any big moves, they came out and continued to do it. Prestige brings blessings.
According to past experience, even if you really confront the Shuntian Mansion, as long as you use the name of the master, nothing will happen.
Then, many wealthy servants were unlucky.
If anything illegal is discovered by the patrolling Shuntian Prefecture officers, one word: Catch!
Zhou Rui is not the first wealthy manager to be arrested, but he is not the last either!
However, the Shuntian Mansion arrested people so unscrupulously, which naturally aroused dissatisfaction from the families of those captured servants.
The eldest man is qualified to attend the morning court. In the past, he basically had no communication with other officials. He is not a member of the civil service system. At the same time, he is an alien of the Xungui Group and has no friends at all.
It's just that in the past few days, there have been an increase in the number of noble officials who have taken the initiative to 'chat' with the Grand Master after going to court. Their purpose is simply to hope that the Grand Master will not go too far.
Is it too much?
Not overdone at all!
Compared with what the outside stewards of various families have done, Shuntian Mansion can only be said to have acted impartially.
But Shuntian Mansion's impartiality in handling affairs was unbearable to the heads of noble and wealthy families.
In other words, they are not used to Shuntian Prefecture's strong posture. If the manager is caught, it will look ugly. If Shuntian Prefecture is too strong, some of their businesses will be affected.
Destroying a person's wealth is like killing his parents!
Conflict of interest is unreasonable, so the elder has been under great pressure in recent days.
But so what?
The elder didn't pay much attention to it at all. Officials from the Xungui Group only wanted to say nice things to him. Once he used bad words and threats, the elder would never be polite.
Whenever you are in Vanity Fair, no family has a clean bottom!
Anyone who doesn't give the eldest son face when he goes to court, or takes the initiative to find trouble, will directly send his subordinates to keep an eye on those who go to court, specifically targeting the families behind these guys. Once something is found to be wrong, they will immediately take action, which is very embarrassing for some eyes.
The head of a wealthy family who was above the top looked embarrassed and couldn't get off the stage.
"Jia Enhou, don't make things impossible!"
The family business was greatly affected. Seeing that the sharp drop in income was a foregone conclusion, some officials could not hold back their anger and directly threatened the elder: "If it really gets worse, you won't be able to get away with it!"
hehe……
The elder didn't care at all, but he didn't mean to say anything bad. He just said calmly that everything he did was done impartially, and if anyone felt something was wrong, they could directly raise it.
But if anyone wants to play dirty tricks with him, the elder will stick with him till the end.
Such a strong attitude made the noble ministers whose interests were harmed very angry, but the master was helpless.
But at this time, the official of Lantai Temple could not hold back his loneliness and suddenly jumped out to impeach the great master for "corruption and bending the law", causing turmoil in the capital city.
I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen such a shameless guy. He is just telling lies with his eyes open!
Isn't it just that you caught the culprit of the boss behind Ya? You actually launched an impeachment so rudely. Do you really think you were the one who made the boss?
If he is a truly honest official, there is nothing the elder can do against him. At least the methods in the officialdom are ineffective. However, the elder has a lot of power and can still achieve his goal through other channels.
He casually used a little of the power of his intelligence network, but in just a few days, he collected all the information about the impeachment of the official, and the efficiency was astonishingly high.
The elder made a targeted move and also used the method of impeaching officials to directly kick the guy into the abyss of hell, which made the civil and military officials of the court see his ruthless methods.
It's just that the current reaction is hard to see through.
After receiving the tip of impeachment against the Grand Master, he did not ignore it as before, but handed it over to the cabinet for discussion and investigation, as if he believed in the Grand Master's innocence. In fact, the Grand Master's intentions were clear.
Obviously, today's attitude towards the great master is no longer as loose and indulgent as before, and there is a tendency to take advantage of opportunities to hammer out ideas. Whether this is the case can only be guessed by the great master himself.
Fuck it!
The eldest man didn't have the time and energy to guess what was going on at the moment, so he just dealt with it according to his own ideas. Then the person who stood out was directly unlucky, and he will probably have to spend a long time in prison in the future.
Such ruthless and ruthless methods shocked all the ministers in the court, and they praised and criticized the great master's strong methods. However, since then, few people have taken the initiative to impeach the great master, especially when there is no conclusive evidence.
.
The status has been bad in the past few days, and the update time has been a bit confusing. I'll try my best to adjust it.
