523 [Resignation to take questions]
"People's daughter Su Qinglian has met Mr. Ji." Su Qinglian bowed her head.
Xiang Nan nodded, "Miss Su, please get up. Ji is here to announce the decree this time. Please ask your adoptive father to come out quickly."
"Master Ji, we are both officials in the same dynasty, so why worry about being in trouble with each other?" Su Qinglian looked at Xiang Nan and asked angrily, "In order to be promoted to an official position, you actually colluded with Wang Tingzan and slandered my father. Qinglian really misidentified you.
Already."
Xiang Nan smiled slightly and said, "Miss Su, if you can say these words, it proves that you really don't know Ji. If Ji wanted to be promoted and make a fortune, he would have been promoted to the first rank ten years ago, and he would be a pastor.
You listened to Wang Danwang's one-sided words and mistakenly thought that Ji was a hypocritical villain who benefited himself at the expense of others. You were condescending and sarcastic to Ji. It was really very childish.
Miss Su, do you know that when Wang Danwang was in charge of Ganzhou, he engaged in malpractice, harmed the public and enriched himself, and embezzled three million taels in the case of food supervision alone.
The imperial court has granted Ganzhou more than 274,000 prison rations over the years, but all the rations received have been embezzled by officials headed by your father. As a result, the people of Ganzhou have not received a grain of ration for ten years.
In order to survive, the people of Ganzhou had to sell their sons and daughters, and their daughters were only worth a few taels of silver. Do you know all these things, Miss Su? Haha, of course you don't.
You only know Wang Danwang’s kindness in rescuing you from Fireworks Willow Alley, but you don’t know how many innocent women in Ganzhou were sold into the pit of fire because of Wang Danwang’s personal fraud.”
"..." Su Qinglian couldn't help being shocked when she heard Xiang Nan's words, "Is what Mr. Ji said true?"
"If Miss Su doesn't believe Ji's words, you can go to Ganzhou with Ji to see for yourself." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "If Ji makes any untruth, I am willing to sacrifice my head."
When Su Qinglian saw Xiang Nan say this, she was immediately speechless.
She didn't expect that her father would actually commit such a serious crime and harm so many people in Ganzhou. In this way, what she just said was indeed completely wrong.
…
"Okay, steward, let's go and urge Mr. Wang Danwang." Xiang Nan ordered, "If he doesn't come out to receive the order, Ji will take someone in."
The housekeeper nodded quickly.
After a while, Wang Danwang gathered his energy, and with the help of the housekeeper, he came to the front hall and said, "I, Wang Danwang, the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, accept the order!"
"During the inspection of Ganzhou, Wang Danwang engaged in personal fraud and committed illegal activities. He deeply failed me and was dismissed from the post of governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. He was handed over to the Ministry of Civil Affairs for questioning." Xiang Nan then read out, "Wang Danwang's property has been confiscated and all his family members have been confiscated.
Spread capital and disperse, thank you for this!"
After reading the imperial edict, Wang Danwang was stunned.
The housekeepers and servants of the palace were all scared to death.
No one thought that the dignified governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the official of the border area, would be dismissed from their official posts and sent to prison for such a thin imperial edict. This is really miserable.
Although they were divided and dismissed, which seemed like preferential treatment, it was actually the beginning of tragedy for them.
You know, the seventh-rank officials in front of the prime minister. Housekeepers, servants, and concubines like them not only have great status, but also earn a lot of money. Once they are dismissed, it will be difficult for them to survive.
Just like in "A Dream of Red Mansions", when the maids such as Jin Chuan, Si Qi and Ru Hua heard that they were going to be kicked out of Jia's house, they were all frightened out of their wits.
"Wang Danwang, take the order." Xiang Nan said coldly after finishing reading.
"My lord...my lord...my king Danwang...accepts the order! Thank you Lord...for your kindness." Wang Danwang stuttered.
No matter how heroic he is, he will inevitably become short of breath at this point.
Xiang Nan immediately waved his hand, and the guards immediately came forward and took him down.
"Keep an eye on both the front and back doors. No one in the palace is allowed to enter or leave privately." Xiang Nan then announced.
The guards had already surrounded the palace so tightly that not a single bird could fly out.
…
Half an hour later, Chen Huizu, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, came with troops to take over the palace and formally ransacked the house.
"Master Ji is really resolute and decisive. He brought the guilty minister Wang Danwang to justice so quickly, which makes my subordinates admire him." He said to Xiang Nan with a smile.
"Master Chen, you don't have to be polite. Ji will leave it to you to search the palace." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "Master Chen, please be careful and ensure that all Wang Danwang's property is returned to the public."
"Don't worry, Mr. Ji. Your subordinates will personally supervise the matter and strictly guard against it to ensure that no one will enrich themselves." Chen Huizu immediately expressed his position.
When Xiang Nan heard this, he smiled.
He knew, however, that when Chen Huizu was searching Wang Danwang's property, he had his hands on it and made a fortune. As a result, as soon as Wang Danwang was beheaded, he was quickly put on the guillotine.
Therefore, he did not believe Chen Huizu's statement.
"By the way, Mr. Chen, this girl is an important witness in this case, and Ji will take her to handle the case." Xiang Nan pointed at Su Qinglian again.
Chen Huizu glanced at Su Qinglian and saw that she was graceful and graceful. She was a rare beauty, and he couldn't help but covet her.
However, Xiang Nan had just overthrown the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang and his momentum was so overwhelming that he really didn't want to confront him head-on.
Chen Huizu nodded immediately, "Master Ji, please excuse me."
Xiang Nan immediately took Su Qinglian with him.
…
"Mr. Ji, what is your plan for taking me away from the palace?" Su Qinglian asked Xiang Nan coldly on the way.
"Miss Su, don't get me wrong, Ji is doing this for your own good." Xiang Nan explained, "Miss Su, you are well-educated and must have heard the stories of Empress Xiao Zhou, Chen Yuanyuan and others.
Miss Su, you are so beautiful and very attractive to any man. Before, you were protected by Wang Danwang, and even if they had thoughts about you, they did not dare to make any move.
But now that Wang Danwang has been taken into custody, the Wang family is no longer a place of peace. If Ji doesn't take you out, you can think about what may happen to you."
Su Qinglian's face darkened.
She grew up in Yanhualiu Lane, so how could she not know these dirty things?
Without Wang Danwang's protection, she is just a piece of meat on the chopping board, allowing others to bully her.
Just like Empress Xiao Zhou, Chen Yuanyuan was snatched away by others and never had freedom again.
"Mr. Ji, don't you have any thoughts about me?" she asked immediately.
"Ji is not a saint, nor is he a stone, so of course he will have ideas." Xiang Nan said frankly, "However, Ji is only in love and not polite, and will never do anything that is against a gentleman. If Miss Su doesn't believe Ji
, you can leave now."
Su Qinglian was stunned for a moment, then shook her head.
Although she is naturally beautiful and talented, she has no ability to protect herself in this world. If she leaves now, she may not even be able to get out of Hangzhou City, and someone will have already taken her away.
The common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of having a jade. She is so beautiful, which is the biggest sin.
"Miss Su, it would be best if you understand." Xiang Nan nodded, "I will leave for Ganzhou tomorrow. If Miss Su is interested, you can go together. See with your own eyes what kind of thing your adoptive father is.
"
