The reason why the family members of the medically retired officials were panicking was because although the medically retired officials planned to report it, they had been hesitant and had no intention of actually reporting it. After all, once they reported it, they would lose the money they were greedy for. Who wants to report someone after losing so much money.
Who would have thought that after the head of the house threatened those people, something would really happen - the emperor would receive the report and confiscate them?
At this time, the family of the retired official saw that the other exiled people thought they were the ones who reported the report. They hated them and bullied them. The family of the retired official argued with reason: "If it was really us who reported the report, His Majesty would still let us Are we going to be exiled after our homes are searched? At least we can make up for our mistakes. At most, they confiscated our money, so they won’t exile us, right?"
"Of course your family is different. After all, your father was involved in the incident. Now he was not beheaded, but just lost his official position. He was not even exiled." Others disagreed and said.
"That's because my father is very ill and will die soon without beheading, so Your Majesty let him go."
In fact, I heard from the emperor that he received a report to investigate those who were corrupt in the past. His father was frightened and became even more seriously ill. Even if the emperor did not chop off his head or exile him, he would probably die soon. , this is different from Wang Xi who was paralyzed. Although Wang Xi was paralyzed, he didn't die for a while.
"The person who actually reported it was definitely not our family. God knows who family made the report."
Thinking that all the families involved in the incident had their homes confiscated and were exiled, it seemed that no one of them reported it, so the person from the retired official's family said again: "Maybe someone leaked the news and had someone report it."
No matter who it is, it’s not their family.
What the sick retired official's family said made sense, so the other families believed it.
Although I believed it, bullying of officials who had retired due to illness often happened.
The reason is also very simple. They are experiencing hardships and are in a bad mood. They need a channel to vent to make them feel better. The person suspected of being a whistleblower is obviously a good target, so after a series of discussions with the retired official’s family, Fan explained that they really felt that this family should not have reported it, but in order to have someone who could give them an excuse to bully, they still refused to admit it, and then continued to bully that family, venting their feelings by bullying these people. Feeling uncomfortable and getting psychological pleasure, this is why people who retired from official families due to illness explained why they still bully them.
The people in the retired official's family saw that they were still bullying them, and they couldn't help but hate them. Of course, they hated the person who reported him even more. After all, if that person hadn't reported it, their family would not have ended up like this.
Yes, although their family has thought about reporting it and letting other families die with them, they have been hesitant. In fact, they did not dare to report it, because even though the head of the family said that this would retaliate against other families, they did not think so. , they don’t have the long-term vision of the family owner, they just think that it’s okay not to be an official. Anyway, they have one or two million in furniture, and they can live very well without being an official. They tell the family owner that they can’t keep the money if they don’t become an official. They don’t think so at all, and they think That won't happen.
Since they felt that nothing would happen if they were not officials, they naturally did not want to report it. After all, if they reported it and the emperor took away their money, their good life would be over.
In fact, the dissuasion from the family was also the reason why the medical discharge officer did not decide to report the case for the time being, because he did not want to disappoint the family.
It is precisely because the family of the retired official did not want to report it, so when someone reported it, they became so angry and resentful of the person who reported it.
The reason why I resent the person who reported it is that I feel that the person who reported it will, firstly, cause my family to have their property confiscated and be exiled, and secondly, I will cause them to be suspected and bullied by others.
Naturally, Linlang didn't know that the family of the retired official resented her, but even if she knew, she wouldn't take it seriously. After all, the money their family received was inherently unfair, and the flowers they took were inherently unreasonable, so she reported it herself. What happened if the emperor confiscated their home? I have the nerve to resent myself.
Just seeing them spending their greedy money with peace of mind, and then resenting the person who reported them, and feeling that the person who reported them made them unable to continue to live such a good life, they know that their reports are correct, because they spent a lot of money. The vested interests of those who gained the money should have ended up like this.
They knew that the money they spent was from the head of the family who was greedy, and they spent it with peace of mind. They did not report the matter or even stop spending the money. In fact, if the emperor had not dealt with too many people, otherwise, even they should have Those who go to jail will definitely not be simply exiled.
Just like the Wang family last time, the Wang family committed so many crimes. If there were not too many Wang family members and they were all sent to jail, I doubt the cells in the capital would be full. Otherwise, the emperor would not just be simply exiled, but would also Drag them to jail. After all, many people in the Wang family know what they have done and what will happen if they do these things, but no one has ever stopped them or even cut off relations with these people - not even mentioning reporting those who committed the crime. He cannot even sever ties with his family. Instead, he enjoys the money made illegally by others, which is of course illegal.
It's just that there are too many members of the Wang family, and the emperor doesn't want to send all those who are not worthy of beheading to jail, so he exiles them to the border. Anyway, the border also needs people.
Of course, the main reason is that the current emperor is a person who acts in accordance with the royal laws. Otherwise, if you encounter some emperors who do not act in accordance with the law, you will get angry and kill them all.
Today's Holy Emperor is not the kind of person who is good at killing, so the Wang family, and these other families, only received the treatment of exile, instead of the emperor getting angry and killing them all.
After reporting those who had embezzled 100 million taels of money from the Wang family, there was nothing important for the time being, and Linlang resumed her beautiful days of eating, drinking and listening to Beijing gossip every day.
Naturally, those who searched these homes this time could not be anywhere near clean. However, just as the emperor thought, these families were not as rich as the Wang family, so the people who searched the homes had to pay the bottom line of 100 million taels required by the emperor. After adding a little extra profit from plagiarism - after all, you can't tell the emperor that those people have no money at all, so in addition to 100 million taels, more or less the emperor has to give something - even if you make money, the money you make , is completely incomparable to the Wang family’s 100 million taels, so unless necessary, Linlang will not report these people, because if the court is short of money, it will not be enough to rob these people, so if they want to report, Linlang will only report Fatter people.
As for these people, I believe that the emperor will keep an eye on these people after the last experience. Even if these people made money, they would not dare to use it casually like others before, for fear of being raped by the emperor. He found out and ransacked his home.
