Farm widows have space, pick up a treasure on the way to escape

Chapter 1083 Complex Human Nature

Cao Zheng was stunned, obviously not believing that she actually knew that he was raising people outside.

She usually manages the concubines at home very strictly. If she knew there was a concubine outside, how could she cause a quarrel?

But she didn't make any movement at all. Cao Zheng thought that he had hidden it well, but he didn't expect that she had known about it for a long time and had kept such a secret.

Seemingly guessing what he was thinking, Ma turned around and said very calmly: "After all, we are a married couple. You have done so many unscrupulous things outside, so you have to let me find a way out for you, right? Do you think you You can avoid being held accountable by raising people outside. It's impossible. If she gets involved in your affairs, she and you two bastards will both die!"

As she said that, a very happy smile appeared on her face, as if she had finally come out of hiding for so many years.

Cao Zheng wanted to kill this vicious woman, but he was pinned to the ground and couldn't move at all.

Qin Jian was a little shocked after reading the evidence. He had to say something awesome. This information was more complete than what Zheng Fei had given. It involved many people and was accurate to the specific amount of money. Handing over these things, Officials in North Korea and China can be purged again.

What's even more amazing is that Ma is really smart and has taken care of herself. Even if Cao Zheng is cut to pieces, she can still survive as a family member. The most serious thing is to be exiled.

Ma's natal family had no involvement in these matters at all and would not be implicated. As long as they had a conscience, they could save Ma. It can be said that in this turmoil, Ma's family could really escape unscathed.

On the contrary, Cao Zheng's beloved wife's mother-in-law's family is having a hard time. The wife's family all depends on Cao Zheng for their livelihood. They have done a lot of things for them over the years and cannot be separated from each other.

According to Ma's statement, the whole family in the outer chamber must die.

That's why Ma can laugh so freely.

After such a commotion, Cao Zheng knew that he was destined to die. He didn't even have the strength to struggle. He was breathing heavily on the ground. He had to admit that he had lost completely.

"Take them all."

All the masters of the prefectural government were imprisoned, and all the seized money and evidence were clearly counted and sealed. Qin Jian then personally wrote to the emperor to let the emperor decide how to deal with the matter.

It is said that on the night when the Cao family was sent to prison, Cao Shulan was severely beaten by her sister-in-law in prison. If she had not coveted things that did not belong to her, she would not have offended Peng Yuan, and things would not have developed like this. the point.

Cao Shulan already had a fever, but she was tortured like this and almost lost half of her life.

Surprisingly, Ma was also in the same cell with her. He watched her being beaten but remained indifferent, as if the person being beaten was not her daughter at all. She closed her eyes and meditated in the corner the whole time.

When Jiang Jiuniang heard about this the next day, she praised Ma and felt that this was the person who could really do great things.

She said to Peng Yuan mysteriously: "Do you think Mr. Ma really doesn't care about that daughter?"

"That's it. It should be true."

Peng Yuan was a little confused and said again: "She can do this to her husband. Now it doesn't seem strange that she doesn't care about her daughter's life or death." "That's not the case. You have underestimated Ma family far. Maybe you even Cao Shulan didn’t see her mother’s intentions either.”

Jiang Jiuniang expressed her guess: "According to my previous understanding of Ma, she quite loves Cao Shulan, and it's not like she's just pretending. Then, it's impossible for her to say that she really doesn't care if she doesn't care about Cao Shulan. In contrast, , I think this is just an illusion created by Ma to train Cao Shulan."

The king gave birth to a bronze, which was somewhat troublesome. Perhaps he wanted to take this opportunity to train her. After all, Cao Shulan was not married yet, and a reliable marriage might be able to save their mother and daughter's lives in the future.

Ma's feelings are very complicated. She doesn't want to be like many mothers who love their children without asking for anything in return. On the contrary, she needs something in return and needs to see benefits in her children before she can consider whether to continue to love her children.

Peng Yuan seemed to understand, and asked: "Then you mean, if Cao Shulan fails to pass this test, Ma may give up on her?"

"definitely."

Jiang Jiuniang did not hesitate, but still added: "But human nature is very complicated, and the specific outcome depends on her final choice."

Peng Yuan said that she had learned something. Even though Sister Jiu didn’t care about anything, she actually knew all about it.

On the contrary, if you don't care, you really don't care. No wonder you are always remembered.

When something happened to the Cao family, no one took care of the affairs in the magistrate's office. It happened that there was nothing going on in the military camp. With Prince Jing watching, Qin Jian continued to accompany his wife, and the affairs of the magistrate's office were left to Lu Baichuan to handle.

During this period, they have been guarding the border. When Cao Zheng took office, he did not dare to make any small moves, but there was no mess to clean up. Lu Baichuan was very leisurely every day, and he still had time to accompany Jiang Jiuniang to the workshop. His life was very pleasant. comfortable.

More than half a month later, the people Jiang Jiuniang asked for from the emperor came, together with the officials sent by the imperial court to manage Tongcheng and Liancheng. The team was very large. When they came to Huizhou City, they saw the development of Huizhou City. Well, everyone was very surprised. The officials who originally thought that the border environment would be harsh and difficult to treat, instantly saw hope.

That night, Lu Baichuan hosted a dinner. He briefly explained what happened to Cao Zheng, the prefect of Huizhou, and then talked about other things. Not many people cared about it, so he quickly exposed it.

After the banquet, everyone stayed in Huizhou City to rest, and then set off to Tongcheng and Liancheng to take office the next day. However, the person sent by the emperor alone to Jiang Jiuniang stayed in Huizhou City.

They are absolutely loyal to the emperor. Jiang Jiuniang does not have to worry about them doing things that are detrimental to the collective interests, but they still have to say ugly things in front of them. In addition to the same requirements that Jiang Jiuniang has for ordinary employees, there is also an additional one: she cannot do it just because she is Sent by the emperor, he felt that he was superior to others and bullied ordinary employees in the workshop. If he was found out, he would be sent directly back to the emperor.

"Do you all understand? You are all the emperor's face. If anyone does something shameful and stupid, I will never forgive him lightly. When the time comes, he will be returned to the emperor. Whether you live or die is your fate."

Jiang Jiuniang has always been kind and powerful, and she has a clear distinction between public and private affairs. She will not tolerate everything just because they are the people given by the emperor.

After all, this is a business she leads, and she is the big boss, so she naturally has to listen to his arrangements.

There are really people who feel that they are superior to others, but when Jiang Jiuniang said this, they stopped thinking in an instant. They all know this person's methods and will never dare to make mistakes easily.

"Yes, ma'am."
