Chapter 269 Kill the chicken to warn the monkey

Seeing Xia Daohua's bewildered little face, Mrs. Wang couldn't help laughing:
"Oh, it's my fault too, why tell you this.

Actually, I just want to remind you.

I know you are soft-hearted, but if it comes to a critical moment, it is still necessary to kill the chicken to make an example to the monkey.We must not harm the people of this city because of a momentary soft-heartedness.

Don't blame me for being cruel. "

Xia Daohua suddenly realized that Mrs. Wang meant this.

Could it be that in Wang's heart, he is still a kind and soft master?
It seems that Mrs. Wang has reached the limit of her patience with those who stir up trouble, and this plan is to make an example of others.

I just don't know which blind chickens will be killed in the end?
Xia Daohua soon knew the answer.

The entire family of the owner of the Zhangji grain store was imprisoned and their house ransacked. Several senior managers were also detained.

Song Ji Liang Xing and Wu Ji Liang Xing had close contacts with Zhang Ji Guo, so they were also imprisoned for a period of time, and they were released after paying a fine of 5000 taels of silver and [-] shi of grain.

Liu Ji’s grain shop was fined 3000 taels of silver, the grain shop was ordered to close for rectification, and the grain was confiscated.

Zhou Ji was fined 500 taels of silver, and paid [-] shi of grain to compensate for the crime.

Chen Ji Liang was fined 500 taels of silver, and [-] shi of grain was handed over to make up for the crime.

Zhou Ji and Chen Ji are the two grain merchants that have suffered the least damage among the grain merchants that have been rectified this time.

Especially Chen Ji,

Originally, its scale was inferior to Zhang Ji and Song Ji, and slightly stronger than Wu Ji. The four basically monopolized the grain business in Jixiang County.

Zhou Ji can be regarded as a rising star. Compared with the strength of the four of them, Zhou Ji can only do small business in the past.

At this time, Zhang Ji, Song Jiji, and Wu Ji were all hit hard, and Chen Ji trembled.

It's just that with the lessons learned from Zhang's family, Chen Ji's family members were very cautious and did not rush to expand, but carefully observed the situation, not daring to provoke the eyes of County Magistrate Yang and Wang's.

The land owned by the Zhang family was resolutely collected by Yang County Magistrate as official land, and then distributed to refugees for farming.

The county magistrate Yang posted notices at the city gate, Caishikou and several lively places to promote the new policy:

Cultivating official land is tax-free, as long as a certain percentage of grain is paid as rent.

Refugees who have been farming for three years and have no bad records can settle down locally.

The refugees who settled in the local area can allocate part of the official land and distribute it to them as permanent land.

One month later, the food relief from the imperial court arrived, and the food allocated by the Wang family from the Wang family also arrived.The refugees were properly resettled, and the various infrastructure projects presided over by County Magistrate Yang have gradually entered the contraction stage.

The city walls, reservoirs, canals, and trenches have all been built to a close degree.

In addition to building roads and a few workshops, manpower is still needed. Most of the refugees have already been resettled as new farmers in Jixiang County.

Afterwards, when she had tea with Wang, Xia Daohua found out that Zhang Zhangji and Liu Ji had climbed up to Huai'an King's stewards as backers, so she didn't care about County Magistrate Yang and Wang.

Not only did they obstruct Yang County Magistrate and Wang's move to mobilize grain to appease the refugees, they refused to cooperate in selling grain, and secretly bought some local snakes and let them mix among the refugees. Sometimes, inciting refugees to riot.

This practice deeply offended the Wang family.

The Wang family had originally agreed to County Magistrate Yang that they would gather the methods of family infighting in the past and not use them lightly.

But since these few reckless grain merchants dared to stop Yang County Magistrate from governing, and dared to use these low-handed methods, the Wang family had no taboos.

As soon as Wang made a move, how could a new small merchant like Zhang Ji be her opponent?
Although Wang didn't go into detail about what method she used, Xia Daohua could tell when she thought about it.

When Zhang Ji's family was imprisoned, they must have been stunned.

Don't say that Zhang Ji had a lot of illegal things in the first place, even if they were innocent and clean, since Wang's plan to clean them up, how could they leave any flaws?
However, the steward of King Huai'an who took money from the Zhang family would not offend County Magistrate Yang and the Wang family who were born in a family for a small merchant in a small place like Jixiang County.

You must know that the aristocratic family is difficult to deal with.

Furthermore, compared with the princes and nobles, these aristocratic families who control certain regions are also on an equal footing.

Things like marrying each other are indispensable.

Who would offend their powerful relatives for the sake of a little ant who can't see the situation clearly?
Behind the Yang county magistrate and his wife stood a Yang family and a Wang family. They were always the King of Huai'an, and they would not offend these two easily.

And a steward of King Huai'an, even if he was more frivolous and arrogant, how could he get into this bad luck because of a small merchant who came up on the bus?
In addition, County Magistrate Yang and Wang's actions were clean and neat, listing the criminal evidence clearly one by one, with all witnesses and material evidence, and the whole case was done seamlessly.

Even if the lawsuit goes to the imperial court, it is still the couple who claim it!

Then how could the steward support Zhang Ji?

Not long after Xia Daohua had tea with Mrs. Wang, she saw the scene of the county government selling off Zhang Ji's family members.

The sharp-tongued and eloquent Mrs. Liu who was quite disrespectful to Mrs. Wang was also among them.

It's just that Mrs. Liu has lost the brilliance and wit she had before, and she is very haggard, probably because it is not easy to wash and wash in the prison, and the clothes on her body are already dirty and torn.

Xia Daohua turned her face away, unwilling to look at it again.

Liu himself, and the underage children, may not have been directly involved in those crimes.But since they enjoy the benefits of the family, when the family commits a crime or something happens, it is naturally impossible for them to be alone.

Although the Zhang family is the "chicken" chosen by the Wang family to kill chickens and monkeys, they are not innocent.

Hoarding is a crime in itself.

What's more, their Zhang family has the bad deeds of encroaching on people's fields, setting up traps to frame farmers, and forcing their families to be ruined.

There are even evil deeds of forcing good people into prostitution.

What the Wang family did was to throw out the criminal evidence collected privately, and swiftly and decisively put the relevant people in prison together, without giving the Zhang family time and opportunity to bribe and get rid of the crime.

In fact, they were not wronged.

Wang's move shocked the officials and merchants in the entire Jixiang County.

Many people who were planning to trip Magistrate Yang also stopped.After all, it can be seen from this incident that even if County Magistrate Yang is a good man, this Wang family is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

What's more, magistrate Yang didn't seem to hesitate at all when he lent it to Wang's guards.

These two are a family after all.

No matter how completely different they look on the outside, they are all equally ruthless and not to be trifled with.

　Good night, sweet dreams, see you tomorrow. ^_^
