I made a fortune by marrying a sickly woman!

Chapter 323: One Bustling Event After Another

This continued for the next three days.

The scandals of the Yang family's side branches were exposed one after another.

At first, the incidents were not big or small, for example, someone from a branch family forcibly took a good girl as a concubine, someone threatened and bribed others to buy farms and shops at low prices, or perhaps beat a few slaves to death, etc. The first ones were still considered small matters, but the latter ones were outrageous, even trivial matters such as someone from the Yang family stealing someone's eggs, peeping at a widow bathing, and pulling vegetables from someone's house were exposed!
Some members of the Yang family came forward to defend themselves.

What's more, the person who said it had detailed information, and the time and place were described in great detail, so it is much more credible.

Someone went to the government office to sue the Yang family members.

The truth was actually that the man forced a girl from a decent family to be his concubine. The girl was indeed trying to commit suicide, but her elders accepted the gift of concubine, so it wasn't a big deal.

It is true that he threatened others to buy Zhuangzi at a low price.

There is insufficient evidence for this.

After all, when people bought it, they actually paid money, which was only 10% or 20% less than the market price.

The matter of beating slaves to death.

Slaves all signed death contracts, so if they were charged with theft and beaten to death, the matter would be settled. The government would at most impose a fine or take the master to be beaten with a stick, which was not a big deal.

The charges are not serious.

The sum of big and small is enough to make people remember it deeply.

In addition, there were people who spread the rumor with ulterior motives, especially the Yuan family, who were the most enthusiastic about it. They tried their best to cause trouble for the Yang family in this matter. For several days afterwards, there was a constant stream of impeachment papers against the Yang family.

How many days has Yang Lingyu been in prison?

The Yang family had expected someone to cause trouble so soon, but they did not expect it to be so fierce.

The confined Yang Ge Lao looked unhappy. "Are all those charges true?"

"Yes, there is."

An elder from the Yang family said with a guilty conscience.

The one who forced a concubine was his younger generation. "Zhengkai, you know that every family has a few troublesome ones."

Yang Ge Lao asked angrily again: "What happened to those dead servants?"

"Dead, only two died."

The man helplessly replied, "It's said to be theft, but I don't know if it's true or not."

He could not say that the children of the clan were dishonest, and when faced with punishment from their elders, they pushed the blame onto the two servants, who were then beaten to death by the elders in anger.

"The memorials impeaching my Yang family are like snowflakes. It is hard to tell when the Yang family will be finished." Lord Yang had no place to vent his anger.

Several elders from the tribe were out of breath and couldn't answer.

You have to know that it is the side branch that made the mistake.

Even Yang Yingrong, the most scoundrel of Yang Ge Lao's lineage, was not exposed for his mistakes this time. Instead, they were in constant trouble without showing any signs of being noticed.

Sitting next to Elder Yang, Yang Yingji, who had been silent the whole time, spoke up: "Grandfather, so many things have been exposed about our clan all at once, which means that we have been targeted for a long time."

"Yes, but we were unaware of it."

This is the strange thing. How cautious must the other party be to prevent the Yang family from getting any news?
Yang Yingji said: "Among those who fanned the flames, the Yuan family was the most excited. Could it be the Yuan family's doing?"

"It may not be the Yuan family. Before we became enemies with the Yuan family, they had already set their sights on the Yang family." After Lord Yang calmed down and thought about it, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.

If it were a more open-minded family, they might not break into a cold sweat.

Lord Yang himself was harboring a secret, a secret big enough to get the Yang family confiscated and exterminated.

If outsiders knew about this, the Yang family would be finished.

Yang Ge Lao made a prompt decision: "The Yang family's scandal alone is not enough. At least we should expose the Yuan family's scandals. The Yuan family has a lot of dirty tricks, which are much more ugly than our Yang family. Once his family's scandals are exposed... who will pay attention to the Yang family?" These things about the Yang family can only be regarded as a drizzle. If we really talk about which big family in Beijing is the cleanest, the Yang family will definitely be ranked first.

This cleanliness does not refer to character.

But whether you have done anything that is against the will of heaven and earth.

That afternoon.

Yuan Shipeng was the first to be hit.

"I heard that the Yuan family is going to be in trouble again."

"Not necessarily. Yuan Shipeng was expelled from the Yuan family a long time ago."

"Hehe, you don't know this. On the surface, it's called leaving the clan, but it's just a way to escape punishment. Someone saw Yuan Shipeng in Huizhou, and it's said that he was in great glory."

"what happened?"

"That guy changed his name and surname, and now looks like a young master. He is currently touring the scenic spots of Huangshan with a group of friends, accompanied by courtesans and beauties."

"Hiss, shouldn't he be in the exile place?"

"You don't understand this..."

Many teahouses and taverns in the capital were discussing this matter.

Song Jin suspected that this was a counterattack by the Yang family, and mentioned it to Qin Chi: "Is it a little late for the Yang family to counterattack?"

"It's not too late. The family tradition of the Yuan family is much worse than that of the Yang family. There will probably be more problems later."

Qin Chi asked Song Jin to sit in front of the dressing table. He personally took the wooden comb and combed her hair carefully.

Song Jin was originally not happy to let him do it.

His craftsmanship is much worse than hers.

Qin Chi was determined to do it, and Song Jin couldn't persuade him. "Did Yuan Shipeng really get caught while visiting Huangshan? Huangshan is so big, with so many peaks, how could he just happen to be caught by someone he knows?"

"People say it's just a coincidence, do you really think it's a coincidence?" Qin Chi seemed to have told her earlier that the Yang family was investigating Yuan Shipeng. "I'm afraid the Yang family has already found out, but just kept it secret. But Yuan Shipeng is from the family after all, and his affairs have a great impact on the Yuan family..."

“There is still an impact.”

Song Jin thought of another question, "Yuan Shipeng should have been exiled but he is still at large. The most likely person who is protecting him is the Yuan family."

"I think the person who did this should be the deceased Madam Yuan. She did it secretly without telling the Yuan family."

Yuan Shipeng was abandoned by the Yuan family, and it was unlikely that the Yuan family would use their connections for him. Only Mrs. Yuan always doted on Yuan Shipeng and was willing to do anything for him.

Qin Chi only sensed the bloody storm in the future from this incident, "The Yuan family's incident has just begun."

Song Jin had collected and spread the scandals about the Yang family. It was just a small contribution to the flames. However, apart from the shocking case of Yang Lingyu, the other cases were not serious and could be easily solved by the Yang family.

One thing that the Yang family could not avoid was the destruction of the reputation that they had accumulated over a century, and even the reputation that Lord Yang had built up for half his life.

"Master, Madam, there is another big gossip outside!" Qin Ba's joyful voice came from the door.

Qin Chi put down the wooden comb, helped Song Jin to stand up, walked to the chair outside and sat down.

There is cushion under the chair.

Qin Chi said: "Tell me, what's the matter?"

"One time, Minister Yuan got drunk and slept with his eldest son's concubine. The worst thing is that not long after, the concubine became pregnant. Now people outside are guessing whether the child is his or his son's." Qin Ba's eyes lit up surprisingly when he reported.

"puff--"

Is this something that outsiders can hear?
