    Tu Minghui was stunned when he heard:

    "Wang, a woman, is so courageous. No, how can an ordinary woman be so courageous? Is there someone behind the scenes? Jia Zheng or Jia She?"

    From a legal point of view, whether it is champerty or loan sharking, it is an extremely serious crime. If the punishment is really strict, these two crimes alone are enough to be sentenced to death, as well as buying and selling sacrificial fields.  Although this situation is not illegal, if the clan finds out, no one will say anything if they are beaten to death on the spot according to the clan rules, because this is digging into the roots of the clan. As for accepting the family members whose homes have been confiscated  Gold and silver assets are at least a crime of cover-up and rebellion, which are equally serious.

    No matter how you looked at it, Tu Minghui felt that it was not something a woman could do with the courage. She felt that there might be other people involved in the plot behind the scenes.

    Wei Xiang smiled bitterly and said helplessly:

    "Your Majesty, you are ignorant and fearless!

    Ignorant people are naturally fearless. I heard that the Wang family has always believed that women without talents are virtuous. They have never studied the Four Books and Five Classics, laws and the like. Even the female precepts have not learned much, so I am afraid that the Wang family really doesn¡¯t know.  How great are these sins!

    Moreover, Mrs. Wang is also very greedy for money. According to our investigation, she has embezzled no less than 100,000 taels of silver from the Jia family during her years as housekeeper. Most of the 100,000 taels of silver were sent into the palace and given to their family member named  Yuanchun's female official, I heard, seems to be used to smoothen relationships!  "

    Tu Minghui was stunned for a long time. He had never thought that there was such a thing as ignorance and fearlessness, but it was the same truth. After a while, his voice became hoarse and he said:

    "A female housekeeper can be greedy for so much money. How much money do you think the Ministry of Internal Affairs will be greedy for, and how much money will the Ministry of Household Affairs be greedy for?"

    How many people are greedy in this world?

    When Jia She paid back the money, he must have used the money and items in their public treasury. The public treasury was clean, but everyone's private treasury was already full of harvests. This is not the case within a family, let alone a country and the national treasury.  It's empty inside, but the ministers are so full!  "

    From point to point, from a classic case to the overall situation, Tu Minghui's ability to associate is quite good. He immediately associated the situation of the Jia family to the entire country. There are only three or five masters in the Jia family, and everyone still has  Everyone is desperately trying to use the money in the public account as much as possible, and their own private treasury cannot be touched, and they also steal money from the public treasury and fill it into their own private treasury. It really shows the greed of human nature incisively and vividly. If the family is like this, the country  Why not?

    While Tu Minghui was talking to himself, Wei Xiang beside him had knelt down in fear and did not dare to speak. If his few words caused the emperor to completely search the Ministry of Internal Affairs, this would  If the news spreads, he may offend all the officials and eunuchs in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

    By then ten lives won¡¯t be enough.

    The Ministry of Internal Affairs never uses a knife to kill people.

    ¡°Stop kneeling, get up!

    Take some time tomorrow to check on the situation in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and see how tens of millions of taels of silver are spent in the palace every year. The Jia family's total annual expenses are less than 30,000 taels, so the Wang family can still save nearly a million taels.  Ten thousand taels of silver, the Ministry of Internal Affairs spends tens of millions of taels of silver every year, who knows how much money they can save, let me investigate carefully!

    The Ministry of Accounts, you can¡¯t control the Ministry of Accounts, let¡¯s talk about it!  "

    Tu Minghui never believed in human nature. As the daughter-in-law of the Jia family, Wang could still be greedy for so much money when she was in charge of her own family's property. What's more, the Ministry of Internal Affairs was not the royal family's money. Who knew how much she would be greedy for? Tu Minghui's intuition  I feel like it won¡¯t be less.

    What can Wei Xiang do?  He has to jump out of the hole he dug. The emperor has given an order. How can he still disobey it?  All we can do is do as we are told!

    "No!"

    ¡­¡­

    The next day

    The official from the Ministry of Rites that Jia She had been waiting for for half a month finally came to the door, and he came in person with the plaque of a first-grade general.

    By the stable, oh, no, it¡¯s Jia She¡¯s yard. Zhang Hongyun, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, has arrived and is standing at the entrance of the yard saying:

    "General Jia, please come and be fine!

    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that General Jia¡¯s reputation is not very good on the outside, but he is a man of etiquette on the inside. According to the emperor¡¯s decree, the plaque of the first-class general has been brought to you. Do you think it can be changed?  "

    ¡°Okay, okay, I¡¯d like to ask Mr. Zhang to come in person. Please take a seat, please take a seat!¡±

    Jia She and other officials from the Ministry of Etiquette have been waiting for half a month. Now they finally meet, but they are not very excited. In the past half month,??He was having a very difficult time, being called over by his mother to scold him every day, which made him so noisy that he sometimes didn't even want to go home.

    At this time, the officials of the Ministry of Rites are life-saving!

    ¡°Sit down, I won¡¯t sit down anymore!

    The note given by General Jia to His Majesty stated that violations of the rules must be strictly investigated, so today we are following His Majesty's will and acting in accordance with General Jia's wishes. There may be some conflicts at that time, and I hope General Jia will understand the rules.  Don't hold back.

    Nowadays, the Rongguo Mansion is built according to the specifications of the Duke. If it is replaced by a first-class general's mansion, two-thirds of the courtyard in the mansion must be sealed off, because the courtyard of a first-class general should not be so big, and only the courtyard of the Rongguo Mansion should be there.  One third, and also, only the Duke of Rongxi is qualified to live in Rongxi Hall, and the first-class general is not qualified to live in it. General Jia is quite polite in this regard. Today, I will help General Jia to take care of Rongxi Hall.  Xitang is closed!

    By the way, I may also need to check the private treasury of everyone in the house, because there may be some items given by the emperor in the private treasury, which are not what you can use now. What grade can use what grade of things?  General Jia himself should have some ideas!

    ¡°Just in case, I have asked several adults from the Ministry of Revenue to work together, and also asked General Jia to prepare a list of private treasury. We will check it according to the list, especially the items given by the emperor.  "

    Zhang Hongyun, a civil servant, did not want to say anything more to these military attach¨¦s, so he straightforwardly explained what he was going to do later, without any twists and turns, for fear that he would not understand.

    "It should, it should!"

    There was no displeasure on Jia She's face. Instead, he was smiling happily. If the yard was sealed, he could just seal it. He couldn't live in so many yards anyway. Only by sealing the yard would he have the opportunity to give the second son's house to his family.  Drive him out. As for Rongxi Hall, he has never lived in it anyway. If it is sealed, it will be sealed. If he can't live in it, no one can live in it.

    "It's just right to seal it, and it can be regarded as a bad breath."

    Zhang Hongyun couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw Jia She's happy expression, and his inner displeasure towards the nobles also showed signs of cracks. Although most nobles were not good things, this Jia She was really unlucky and miserable.  Bad luck and bad luck.

    Even though she is old, she is still being suppressed by Jia Mu.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
