Rich Peasant Girl: The General's Wife Has Space

Young Master Zhang was smiling foolishly, his expression was already crazy!

In order to get away with it, his good father and good brother pushed all the blame onto him.

It was a foregone conclusion that he was dead.

Haha, it seems that the Zhang family has committed even more heinous crimes.

I’m really looking forward to it. If we’re going to die, let’s die together!

Zhao Wenqing asked someone to open the box, and the silver light inside shone in the hall. When everyone looked, they found that it was actually boxes of weapons!

This caused an even greater uproar in the hall!

How could that be? The imperial court has issued an order that privately casting weapons is a capital crime and the entire family should be executed!

The Zhang family actually dared to privately forge weapons. How bold of them!

The people were talking about it, and the old man in the crowd's eyes darkened and his gaze became sharp.

At this time, Zhao Wenqing asked coldly: "Zhang Xicai, this weapon was found in the secret cabinet of your study. No matter what you say, there is no room for quibbling!"

Zhang Xicai hung his head, unable to argue, and seemed to have already admitted his guilt.

Suddenly, he suddenly remembered something and looked up at the crowd. Someone in the crowd gave him a calm look. Zhang Xicai's eyes showed ecstasy, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, and he nodded.

An inconspicuous man in the crowd hid himself in the crowd and left quietly.

Xiao Wan noticed this scene with her sharp eyes and immediately whispered a few words to Zhang Liang. Zhang Liang looked at the crowd, nodded, and immediately followed.

The old man watched Xiao Wan's actions with great interest, squinted his eyes and smiled, then told his followers to leave as well.

Xiao Wan looked at him, nodded slightly, then looked away and continued listening to the trial.

Zhang Xicai confessed his guilt to Zhao Wenqing. Young Master Zhang looked at his father helplessly, and realized that his family was doomed and they would probably die.

After signing their pledge, the three members of the Zhang family were thrown into prison and awaited public display.

Zhao Wenqing looked at the trembling Zhang family servants, sighed, and continued, "Now, the Zhang Mansion will be searched and confiscated, and the property will be confiscated. The Zhang Mansion will be ordered to compensate the families of the victims with 200 taels of silver each. As for the Zhang family's trusted followers, they will be sentenced to three years in prison and three years of hard labor for reporting the Zhang family's crimes! The rest of the innocent servants will be issued with their indentures and allowed to leave on their own."

Everyone knelt on the ground and kowtowed to thank the master.

Xiao Wan breathed a sigh of relief and watched all this with satisfaction!

She sent Zhang Liang to keep an eye on the Zhang family for a few days and discovered that the Zhang family was secretly communicating with others and privately casting weapons. When Zhang Liang was following the people who were communicating with the Zhang family, he accidentally lost them.

Xiao Wan was afraid of alerting the enemy, so she told Zhang Liang not to investigate further, but to work together with Zhao Wenqing to make the weapons public. The purpose of doing this was to show the people behind the scenes that once their weapons were exposed, they would naturally become restless.

They will definitely send someone to oversee the case, and then they will send someone to investigate, and then they will know who is so audacious.

As Jiyun City is Xiao Wan's fiefdom, she feels she has the responsibility to do things for Jiyun City!

You'll know when you go to the back hall and wait for Zhang Liang to come back.

The yamen runners sent by Zhao Wenqing to search the house brought back a large amount of valuables, including countless gold, silver and valuables.

The eldest lady of the Zhang family wrote a divorce letter herself when Mr. Zhang was taken away, and returned to her parents' home with her dowry and some of the looted property.

He didn't care at all whether Young Master Zhang could come back.

Zhao Wenqing counted the confiscated property and distributed the banknotes to the victim's family. The rest were registered and sent to the government.

As for the Zhang Mansion, it was also put up for auction, but because a corpse was buried there, many people thought it was unlucky, so it was left idle for a while and no one was interested!

At this point, the once prosperous and tyrannical Zhang family fell.

The people of Yuntai Town ran around to tell each other, cheering and celebrating the fall of the Zhang family.

On the street, the old man who was watching the trial looked at the happy faces of the people passing by and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

After a long pause, he gave a wry smile and said to the pale, beardless middle-aged man beside him, "Li Quanfu, tell me, isn't this world as peaceful and beautiful as we imagined? In this tiny Yuntai Town, a small, wealthy family can do evil, dominate the area, and harm the people. What about other towns and prefectures? After this experience, I realized how narrow my vision is!"

"Master, you can't say that. The Yuntai Town incident is just an isolated case. We can't deny other prefectures just because of this incident. This world is already much more peaceful and prosperous than the previous dynasty."

"You slave, you are so sweet-mouthed and refuse to tell the truth!" The old man was slightly angry.

"I am innocent. I have always told the truth when I was with you!" Li Quanfu pretended to cry out for justice, which made the old man laugh.

"Forget it, let's wait and see. I've gained a lot from this trip. At least this county lady is really different. She's a good one and quite interesting, haha."

The old man stroked his beard and smiled, then strode forward. Seeing this, Li Quanfu waved his hand to signal those around him without even turning his head, and followed closely.
