It cannot be denied even today. It is just that he is too good at twisting things and his own strength is too strong, which arouses suspicion among those in higher positions.
That is to say, the eldest master doesn't care about these things, otherwise he will have a headache today. An eldest master who is attracted by the powerful prince will definitely make him furious.
No, Shuntian Prefecture arrested dozens of servants of wealthy families in one go. They were all so-called stewards and so-called reputable servants of various wealthy families. The reason for arresting them was simple: they had broken the law.
But the owners of these servants didn't see it that way. They thought the elder was just fooling around and slapping them in the face. It was hard not to get angry.
Cognitive errors caused a wave of trouble, which seemed less dangerous than the court situation, but was actually more sinister.
The dispute in the court is a battle of interests and a battle of ideas. It rarely involves family members and servants unless it comes to a real confrontation.
But the eldest master's actions made the master's family who had the servants captured feel that the eldest master was deliberately targeting them. Did he want to find out the dirty secrets of the master's family from the captured servants?
It’s not impossible!
The servants of the rich family who were captured were all outstanding servants. They had deep connections with their masters and were likely to know many secrets that could not be known to outsiders.
These secrets are absolutely not allowed to be leaked by the master of the captured servant.
As a result, the eldest brother encountered overt or covert suppression, which are common methods in official circles.
The eldest man doesn't care about this. Anyone who dares to cause trouble will be investigated through the overt or covert intelligence network. The eldest man, who is innocent and has no problem with himself, will not touch lightly. But as long as the buttocks are not clean, the eldest man will not
You'll be polite.
Compared with others' vague reasons for impeaching him, his reasons for impeaching those officials are much stronger.
With my current temperament, if I can tolerate the existence of such a black sheep, I will have nothing to say and just resign as a free man.
The eldest boss used such ruthless and ruthless tactics, which frightened the officials with ulterior motives. At the same time, he also felt quite unhappy: How can anyone play like this and not respect the rules of officialdom?
It's a pity that the old man can't get in, and the other courtyard is tightly guarded, so it's difficult to do anything small.
Therefore, some officials who felt that they had been denied face directly contacted the Rongguo Mansion. Since the eldest boss was so difficult to deal with, Rongguo Mansion should be a breakthrough, right?
Not to mention, in the face of the powerful dignitaries who suddenly came to visit, the mentality of everyone in the Rongguo Mansion was surprisingly exciting. The servants held their heads high and their chests high, so proud. The Rongguo Mansion was so awesome.
Jia Mu's mind was still clear, and she knew that these dignitaries who came to visit her had long been estranged from the government, so they must have something to ask for when they suddenly came to visit.
As for what they want to ask for, there are only a few things that have caused turmoil in the capital recently, and the only one related to the Rongguo Mansion is the eldest man. Needless to say, the reason why these dignitaries came to the door was because of the eldest man.
Although she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, Jia Mu still warmly received the lady who came to her door. After some small talk, she quickly revealed her intention, which was exactly as she expected.
Jia's mother did not agree at all. Although she was quite dissatisfied with the elder, she also knew that Shuntian Prefecture was not easy to do. If she wanted to achieve something, she would inevitably offend others.
The eldest master has his own reasons for arresting so many wealthy servants. If Jia Mu is holding back, there is no need to think that the relationship between mother and son will become even worse.
This was a result she didn't want to see. Compared with the eldest master's attitude towards her, it was much more important than the exchange conditions offered by the noble ladies who came to visit her.
Just because Jia Mu can keep her composure, that doesn't mean that the Wang family can keep her composure!
I don’t know how they got such big faces. All the requests that came to them, the young and old Wangs agreed directly without thinking. The reason was that the gifts given by the visitors were too generous and they were reluctant to refuse them.
When Mrs. Wang received the gift, she kept saying that she would help her, but she turned around and forgot about it, never even mentioning it.
The relationship between the second roommate and the eldest roommate was so tense, she would not put her hot face on the cold ass of the eldest brother.
If something is not done and the other party blames it, just blame it directly on the big boss. It would also be good to find some more enemies for the big boss.
Mrs. Wang accepted the gifts with ease and did not care at all about the possible serious consequences.
Little Wang's side naturally does not have Mrs. Wang's dark psychology. She just thinks that letting him go is just a trivial matter, and the big boss should not hold on to her.
I felt confident that I could convince the elder, so I accepted the gift. Of course, the main reason was that the gift was expensive.
Jia Zheng is completely unaware of his wife's actions. Of course, even if he knew, he probably wouldn't care. His thoughts are similar to Mrs. Wang's. If he can cheat, he will cheat. There is nothing to say.
Of course, with his nature, no one would come to ask for his help. Mr. Zheng Er is so addicted to Qingke's praise every day that he has no idea that such a thing is happening.
Lian Er did receive some requests, but he didn't dare to agree casually.
The eldest man's temper is so weird. If he violates his taboo, the consequences will be terrible.
He also wanted to get the help of the elder so that he could advance further in the officialdom. How could he anger the elder over such a 'little thing'.
However, he could withstand the temptation himself, but Wang Xifeng could not have imagined that it would be so far-reaching.
"Second Grandma, how can you agree to such a request smoothly?"
Lian Er went back to the government office and listened to Wang Xifeng's request that he didn't care about at the dinner table. He was so depressed that he almost vomited blood.
"What's wrong, Second Master Lian? Isn't it possible that the First Master doesn't want to give some face to such a matter?"
When Feng Lazi saw it, she immediately pulled her face down and subconsciously stroked her flat belly.
"My second grandma, the elder didn't arrest people deliberately this time, but caught those bastards in person. I'm afraid that all the confessions of those bastards have been sent to the Ministry of Punishment, and it won't take long before they can be directly arrested.
If you are sentenced and released, wouldn't you be making yourself unhappy?"
Seeing Wang Xifeng's subconscious actions, Lian Er suppressed his anger and explained patiently: "It involves dozens of lives, but it is a major case that will shock the emperor. How could the eldest master let it go?"
"Why is it so serious?"
Feng Lazi was also surprised. Although she was always bold and did not take the lives of others seriously, she also knew that the case involving dozens of people's lives was a huge case.
"Hey, it's not the fault of those bastards who were caught!"
Lian Er sneered and said: "They are all well-known figures in various houses. Just like Zhou Rui, they are more majestic and more like a master than the master outside. They live in a big house with no access to the house and use it.
They are all good things that are no worse than those in the house. Surrounded by maids and women, you can be as chic as you want!"
Feng Lazi's eyes widened when she heard this. Is this still the servant in her impression? He is more of a master than a master. Even she and Lian Er's enjoyment cannot be compared to such luxury.
"Second Grandma, do you know where these bastards get their money?"
Lian Er sneered and continued: "Their master has contributed a lot, and the rest was obtained through various off-market means!"
"How can you make money by borrowing money outside?"
Feng Lazi was surprised, and to be honest, she was a little excited.
Second Grandma, you got the point wrong, okay?
Lian Er said depressedly: "It's a lot of money, but it kills dozens of people in one breath, and destroys hundreds of families. If exposed, they will all die!"
Wang Xifeng smiled coquettishly and said stubbornly: "That's because their backstage is not strong enough!"
"Who has a backstage as good as today?"
Lian Er sneered and said angrily: "Once the emperor wants to deal with someone, these are all big clues, and if someone is not good, his house will be confiscated!"
Seeing that Wang Xifeng's face was a little unhappy, he reminded him angrily: "Second Grandma, don't be confused. Our family is being watched by the officials of Lantai Temple. If something goes wrong, we will be impeached. We have no big problem."
The master is so confident!"
At this time, Feng Lazi had completely given up. As long as he thought about the gang of officials outside, his greed for money could not withstand the serious consequences of being caught.
Lian Er breathed a sigh of relief, and then he started talking about the stewards embezzling money from Master Mo's family, using the group of stewards who had been caught as materials, which made Feng Lazi open her mouth wide and find it difficult to close her mouth.
"Zhou Rui is not a good thing. The second wife thinks how loyal her confidant is. News came from the eldest master that the amount of cash found directly from his house was as much as two hundred thousand taels!"
"So many, where did they come from?"
Feng Lazi was shocked again. If she just talked about the wealthy servants next to her, it would be fun at most, but Zhou Rui was a respectable steward in the house, and she had seen him several times.
He seems to be an honest and responsible person, but he didn't expect to be such a greedy person.
"Where did it come from?"
Lian Er said disdainfully, "Of course I picked it out of the second wife's hands!"
Seeing that Feng Lazi didn't believe it, he said angrily: "Don't believe it, the interest rate for the second wife's usury loan is not too exaggerated, it is only six cents at most. But when Zhou Rui releases it, the interest rate must be at least seven cents, or even eight cents or nine cents."
It’s nothing, otherwise they wouldn’t work so hard when collecting debts, even if they force people to death and refuse to let go, that’s because it’s about their own income!”
Feng Lazi was really surprised. She didn't expect those servants to be so ruthless in collecting money. She couldn't help but think of her own dowry shop and Zhuangzi, wondering if the same situation was the same.
"Second Mistress doesn't know that the people below are greedy and violent. It's so crazy that it's unbelievable!"
Thinking of some of the things he knew, Lian Er couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, but he didn't notice Feng Lazi's majestic eyes, and reminded him again: "Second Mistress must not randomly agree to other people's requests for such things.
He wants to create a deadly feud!"
"I have accepted all the gifts. What do you think the second master should do?"
Feng Lazi simply acted like a rogue. Anyway, with the meat in his belly, Lian Er didn't dare to do anything.
"Let me discuss it with the lord and resolve it!"
Lian Er was extremely depressed, but he still nodded and took over the responsibility.
