"Let's talk about what to do now."

Jia Yucun, the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture, slumped on his chair dejectedly.

The surrounding staff looked at each other in confusion. Ever since the emperor ordered the imperial envoy to go to Jiangnan to handle the case, Jia Yucun had always looked worried. He had never been so out of his mind when the Japanese invaders came to the city.

"Your Majesty, you still have to put your health first. I heard that this Imperial Envoy is also from Ningguo Mansion. Considering your relationship with the Jia family, there shouldn't be any serious problems."

"Yes, yes, the master of the palace and the good people have their own destiny."

Several staff members didn't know what to say, so they had to gather around Jia Yucun and say some cold words.

"Hey, what do you know?"

Jia Yucun felt regretful at this time, but he couldn't explain the reason to these unidentified staff. Just when he was at a loss, the door outside shouted: "The imperial envoy has arrived!"

Jia Yucun hurriedly took people to pick him up, and saw the imperial envoy walking into the house with a group of people dressed in brocade clothes.

Before Jia Yucun could greet him, the imperial envoy waved his hand and said, "You and your men will guard the front and back gates."

All the officials responded and went out. Jia Jia Yucun waited for the governor to be unlucky, so he knelt down to pick him up.

The imperial envoy did not wear official uniforms, but was dressed as a Taoist.

"Are you Jia Yucun, the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture?"

"It's the lower official."

"Very good then. I have been ordered to investigate the incident. Please disperse the irrelevant people in the house."

The staff are all smart people, so when they saw this scene, they naturally wanted to get away immediately.

The Taoist sneered, "All irrelevant persons, please go out. I have already told the Qianhu of Jinyi Mansion who are guarding outside. There is no need to interrogate the irrelevant persons. Let them be released as soon as possible."

The staff heard this and went out in a hurry.

Only one person in Jia Yucun was so frightened that his face turned pale and his whole body was trembling. The reputation of Jinyi Mansion in Dajing can stop children from crying at night, and there are all major cases in Jinyi Mansion.

Not more than once, I saw countless rounds of soldiers coming in, guarded by various gates.

The imperial envoy said slowly: "I have been ordered to lead the Jinyi Mansion to inspect the property of Jia Yucun. The Holy Spirit ordered: 'Jia Yucun colluded with the nobles, bullied the weak by relying on the power, sheltered the wealthy family, betrayed my kindness, and was dismissed from the official position and escorted to The Ministry of Punishment will conduct a joint trial. I appreciate this. Get it for me!"

The servants rolled up their clothes and tied up their arms, swarming over and tying Jia Yucun up behind his back. Other servants separately checked the rooms and checked the accounts.

"Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy, Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy! I am unjustly accused!"

"It's unfair, I can't see it."

The imperial envoy said, "How comfortable is your official hat?"

As he spoke, he took off the official hat on Jia Yucun's head and threw it aside, "You are quite a figure. Even after being deprived of your official status, you were able to gain access to Jia's family through Lin Ruhai's connections, and you managed to get it through your connections with Wang Ziteng." In this vacancy of the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture, a lot of the merits accumulated by the Jia family have been taken up by you, a villain. What is ridiculous is that you knew that the Jia family was in trouble, but you actually went so far as to impeach the Jia family for harboring the Zhen family's crimes. But it’s really yours. If it weren’t for me, I’m afraid you would not only be able to keep your official position but also be promoted to a higher level, right?”

"Spare me, please spare me."

Jia Yucun was kowtowing as if he were pounding garlic. The imperial envoy in front of him was Jia Jing, who was supposed to be in charge of Ningguo Mansion!

"You don't need to beg me. Since I'm in Qintian Prison, I won't care about the worldly affairs. The prosperity and decline of the Jia family are the principles of the cycle of everything in the world. What's more, with the shadow of the ancestors, no matter how poor they are, they won't be slaughtered. "

Jia Jing sighed, "Although I don't care about the Jia family anymore, I will inevitably get angry when I meet a villain like you. If Chief Jinyi didn't find anything, you could still escape with your life. If so, Find out something, hum!"

Just as he was talking, he saw an officer in gilded clothes knelt down and reported: "Two boxes of house title deeds have been copied from the east wing, and another box of borrowing notes, but they are all illegal profits."

"What a usury exploiter! He deserves to be copied! You, the magistrate of Yingtian Prefecture, actually do the same thing as usury?"

"The lower official knows he is wrong, the lower official knows he is wrong."

Not long after, another officer in Jinyi reported, "Reporting to your lord, I found a hidden compartment under the bed in the bedroom and found this."

As he spoke, he handed a black box to Jia Jing. Jia Jing took it and opened the box. Inside was a yellow silk book. When Jia Jing opened it, his expression changed drastically.

"How brave, Jia Yucun! You deserve to die!"
