"right……"

Xiao Yan lowered her head and thought for a while: "Is the Xian family so capable? They managed to protect the whole way from the local area to the capital? How is it possible? Does anyone in their family have connections in the government?"

"My Lord, their family is not high-ranking, but rich."

The old housekeeper wiped his tears and said, "...There is only one official in their family, that son-in-law, whose surname is Wang, a fifth-rank salt official...I never thought that such a small salt official could be the cause of such a huge family massacre."

"The Zhao family is also a prestigious local gentry family, and they can still..."

“It’s actually like this…” Xiaoyan understood.

The State of Wu mainly produced salt.

And it was sold to Jingguo and Daqi through trade routes.

Salt and iron were monopolized by the imperial court and were divided into three parts according to the areas of transportation and trade routes.

Among them, the salt roads in the central part are the most profitable.

Because this part is mainly well salt, it is exclusively for consumption by the royal family and the Wu Kingdom.

The salt official with the surname Wang was in charge of the central region.

"I also know..."

At this time, Master Zhao finally spoke: "If you want to overturn the verdict, it will be extremely difficult. I am the only one left in the Zhao family. If I want to take revenge, I can only start from the officialdom. That's why I have survived until now. I must..."

Before he could finish his words, he started coughing loudly again.

Seeing him like this, General Xiaoyan and Xiaoli felt mixed emotions.

Such a family feud and hatred was placed on a young man who was only in his twenties...

"The Xian family..."

Suddenly a voice floated from the door: "Are you rich?"

When the people in the room turned around, they saw a person wearing men's clothes but obviously a girl at the door.

She leaned against the door frame with a smile on her face and asked softly.

The people in the room looked at each other, and then looked at Mr. Zhao together.

"Who is this……"

Mr. Zhao recognized that this was the man who had beaten the evil guy to death in the refugee area that day.

However, he did not know the man's name.

He looked at the girl who was dressed in a somewhat androgynous way, and to be honest, he was still a little afraid of her.

No matter who you are, if you see someone who dares to smash someone's head just because of a disagreement, you will still feel a little afraid.

Even though... this girl is very beautiful.

"I am from the young master's family, and my words are very effective... You don't have to worry about who I am. Ask yourself first, do you want revenge?"

Qin Qiong asked him with a smile.

Several people in the room suddenly became alert.

Xiaoyan grabbed Qin Qiong and pulled her into the house, and General Xiaoli immediately went to close the door.

Somehow, Xiaoyan and General Xiaoli were surprisingly unanimous on this matter. They both thought that this girl Qin Qiong was going to cause trouble.

"What do you want to do?" Xiaoyan stared at Qin Qiong.

"It's nothing, young master. Don't you think this Xian family, this, this, this setting... sounds a little familiar?" Qin Qiong whispered to Xiaoyan.

"What...what sounds familiar?" Xiaoyan didn't understand.

"That's right, that's the Yongzheng Dynasty, you know?"

"What?" Xiaoyan didn't know.

"Forget it..." Qin Qiong didn't want to talk to him anymore.

"Nothing, aren't you talking about revenge for him? I'm just asking...what's wrong? Are you allowed to be indignant, but not me to speak up for the people and get rid of the evil for them?"

Qin Qiong blinked and said righteously.

"You..." Xiaoyan made her choke.

Yes, they were just cursing the Xian family for their evil deeds, but did not say anything about getting rid of this harm to the people.

why?

Because the government has already made a decision.

None of them dared to say that they could overturn the case by going there.

Even if Xiaoyan was still the young master, he didn't dare to say it.

Because he is not an official and... he has no money.

As soon as you hear about this case, you know that it was the Xian family who bribed everyone with money.

Otherwise, with such a tragic scene, how could it fail to awaken the conscience of the investigators and seek justice for the dozens of lives that were wrongly killed?

Because their consciences have been bought with money...

The young master is a prince, but so what?

It's just that no one dares to bully him.

But if he were to overturn someone else's case, he wouldn't dare to say that he could do it.

First, he has no official position.

Second, they have already made the case, and their statements are consistent. If they really get to the court, they will not be able to produce any evidence and will only be able to rely on their anger?

That doesn't prove at all that this tragedy was a revenge act by the Xian family.

"Do you have any idea?"

Before Xiaoyan could vent her helplessness, General Xiaoli had already gone to Qin Qiong's way.

"this one……"

Qin Qiong smiled and looked at Zhao Yuanzhe: "That depends on Mr. Zhao. What kind of expectations do you have for revenge?"

"I just want to make your family's murder known to the world, so that everyone in the world will know the injustice of your Zhao family and let the people curse the Xian family for their crimes? Or..."

"What's the matter?" Zhao Yuanzhe stared at Qin Qiong and asked.

"Or let the Xian family lose all their wealth overnight, so that the Xian family will no longer have any money to use and no power to rely on. And let those who have been bullied by the Xian family take revenge on you from other members of the Xian family!"

"And the culprit...will naturally fall into your hands. You can do whatever you want..."

"I..." Zhao Yuanzhe was stunned.

You look at the little girl in front of you.

She looked young, but for some reason, maybe because she was the young master's woman; maybe because her brutal behavior that day was different from others; he felt...

He could trust her.

He felt that this woman could do it!

"Xiao Qiong..." Xiaoyan pulled Qin Qiong.

Xiaoyan could see that Qin Qiong was setting a trap (making empty promises) for people again.

Qin Qiong kept his eyes on Mr. Zhao while saying these words.

Her eyes were bright, as if there was a fire in them.

There was also the tone of her voice; her voice was very soft, but each word was pronounced from her abdomen, and the melody went straight into Zhao Yuanzhe's ears.

Xiaoyan's shout made everyone in the room suddenly sober up.

But Qin Qiong was furious.

"What?"

She glared at Xiaoyan fiercely: "What are you yelling about? Am I wrong? According to his idea, he will wait until he passes the imperial examination and becomes an official, and then climb up step by step. How long will that take?"

"Let's not talk about whether he can do it or not. Even if he can do it, by that time, his fighting spirit would have been worn out long ago, not to mention how much evil the Xian family has done over the years and how many people have they harmed? Am I wrong?"

"..." Xiaoyan.

……

The Xuanzhen Temple, a temple in Shangjing City, has regained its former popularity.

This is a not-so-small event that has happened in the capital city recently.

The reason why it is not big is that the abbot of Xuanzhen Temple made the refugees so angry that they vomited blood, and everyone in the city expressed sympathy.

But at the same time, I also feel that the temple master, a monk, has to enter the secular world to take care of the affairs of those refugees... which is also asking for trouble.

In addition, because of those refugees, people in the city who wanted to go to the temple to fulfill their vows can no longer go to the Xuanzhen Temple to burn incense, which is really a pity.

The reason why it is not small is that the refugee area disappeared in just one day.

The General's Mansion and Young Master Yan stepped in, and the government sent people to clear out the refugee area.

It is really gratifying that people now have a place to express their kindness!
