"This matter really has huge implications. The assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, the doctor, the councilor, a few eunuchs in charge of the Internal Affairs Office, and the Xue family are all involved.”
"I sent someone to check the accounts of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and found that they had embezzled no less than three million taels or even more.
However, many of the accounts from before were gone.”
The Ministry of Revenue…
Liu Wen said to Jia Lian with a tired face.
"In other words, this corruption case is not just three million yuan. This three million yuan is only the amount we can find out at the moment.”
Jia Lian said to Liu Wen with a solemn expression.
"That's right. Just this alone is enough to cause a river of blood to flow in Caishikou.”
Liu Wen nodded and sighed.
"The Internal Affairs Bureau has so much corruption. Do you think there's a big part of it?”
Jia Lian pondered for a while and asked Liu Wen with a frown.
"What I'm most afraid of now is that there are noble people in the palace or relatives of the emperor behind this.
What if we were there!"
Liu Wen heard Jia Lian's words and could not help but grit his teeth as he spoke to Jia Lian with grievance.
"This matter is easy to handle. As long as we find out, we can directly ask the Saints. As for the person behind this, His Majesty will decide.”
"In any case, outsiders won't know even if they find out. At that time, whether to announce it to the world or to keep it a secret will depend on the Sage's wishes.
We just need to give the results to the Saints.”
"As for offending people, there's even less to be afraid of. The two of us brothers added together are a Lord with monstrous power. Behind him is a Saint or even a Prince.”
Jia Lian came to Liu Wen's side and put his arm around Liu Wen's shoulder as he said heroically.
"Your words are rough and not rough, but you can't speak nonsense.
If others knew, this would be a weakness.”
Liu Wen was amused by Jia Lian's words, but he still reminded Jia Lian.
In his eyes, Jia Lian was good in every way, but he was too impetuous.
He couldn't hold back his anger. Eunuch Tong, who wasn't locked up in the Ministry of Revenue, was still sulking after being scolded by Jia Lian.
Eunuch Tong knew that he was finished, but he could not suppress the anger in his heart.
He was probably still clamoring for Jia Lian to go over and fight him to the death.
After all, Jia Lian's words had hurt him too much.
He had lived his entire life, suffered half of his life, and enjoyed half of his life.
Eunuch Tong's life at this age was worth it. He did not lack money or women.
However, he was not a real man, but he had everything that a man called for.
He had won over so many concubines to satisfy his vanity, knowing that these concubines were still virgins.
"Grip? I, Jia Lian, have been caught by countless people in my life, but am I afraid?
I'm not afraid…"
"If I have to say that there are too many stains on my body in this life, it's just that my former silkpants character is nostalgic for the Willow Land in the Firework Alley every day. When these Saints promoted me to an official position, did anyone jump out to oppose it?”
"There are many people who don't like me, but why don't they object? It's all because I returned the money that the imperial court owed with interest so that the imperial court could have the money to relieve the disaster.”
"If they dare to object and jump out to impeach me?
Whoever dares to impeach me will have to gather the food for disaster relief.”
"Also, if I dare to donate 350,000 dan of grain to the Imperial Court, who would dare to follow me? Who would dare to oppose my promotion?
Those who dared to donate grain were reluctant, and those who did not dare to donate were those who had the money but did not dare to take it out!”
"I donated the money left behind by my ancestors. As long as it's not donated by a noble or noble, who would dare to learn from me?
If they dared to take out this money, they would be greedy.”
"I've never been afraid of anyone in my life! I'm not afraid of anyone as long as I'm reasonable.”
Jia Lian patted his chest arrogantly as he spoke to Liu Wen.
Hearing Jia Lian's words, Liu Wen was even more convinced that Jia Lian was still too young to experience the darkness of this world.
However, no matter how he thought about it, he could not figure out where Jia Lian's true confidence lay.
…
"Everyone, let's talk about Jia Lian's problem. Of course, don't look at us as a family, but we won't be biased towards him.”
In the guest hall of Ningguo Manor…
Jia Zhen sat in the main seat and said indifferently to the six families of the eight dukes he had invited.
His tone was very indifferent, but after mentioning Jia Lian, his tone could not help but become serious, and even could not help but reveal a strong killing intent.
He thought of how Jia Lian had disregarded their brotherhood and impeached him, and how he had beaten him up in the Rong Mansion.
Right now, he wanted nothing more than to tear Jia Lian into pieces.
"That's right. I don't know how we offended this Jia Lian. He went crazy himself, but he didn't care about his family.
If Jia Lian doesn't get rid of us, our families will be destroyed by this Jia Lian sooner or later.”
After Jia Zhen finished speaking, Niu Jizong agreed with an ugly expression.
They had gathered here today for nothing but to discuss how to deal with Jia Lian.
He looked for Jia Lian to take revenge on them.
"This Jia Lian must not be kept. In the past, I had to eat eighty-eight dishes every day. Now that I have repaid the money of the Imperial Court with interest, the servants in the residence can't even afford to pay their monthly salary.”
"I'm the same. Now that I've suffered a great loss, I still have to wait for a few months to collect rent to support my family.”
"Jia Lian has done us a great deal of harm. What kind of life did I live in the past? Now, I have to haggle over every ounce when I eat, drink, and go out.”
"If Jia Lian doesn't get rid of us, our lives will only get worse and worse. Today, we must come up with a plan to deal with Jia Lian. Otherwise, we won't be able to live well in the future.”
"That's right, my suggestion is to take Jia Lian's life. Not only that, but we can't let Jia She's group manage Rong Mansion anymore.
Their branch has caused us a lot of trouble. I think Jia Zheng's branch is promising, so we should work together to support Jia Zheng's family.”
"Yes, yes, yes…Jia Zheng's wife has a daughter who is a noble in the palace. In the future, if she gets the favor of the Sage, the Rong Mansion will definitely rise in the future. If we support Jia Zheng, not only will we be able to solve the big problem in our hearts, but we will also let Jia Zheng remember our kindness.”
As Jia Zhen and Niu Jizong expressed their opinions, the heads of the other families all followed suit indignantly.
Speaking of Jia Lian, they wished they could cut Jia Lian into a thousand pieces.
There was even a deeper meaning to it, and he wanted Jia Zheng's family to be in charge of Rong Country Manor.
They saw that Jia Zheng had a promising future, relying on his daughter, Jia Yuanchun, to have a limitless future.
Moreover, Jia Zheng was close to them and had no enmity or interest.
However, they could only see what was in front of them and could not see that they would be exiled later.
