In this situation, it is hard to tell whether it is a dowry or a disguised bribe.
Therefore, it is better to simply count them out and send them to Dali Temple for storage.
After the matter is found out, even if all the money is nationalized, it will make Xie Ronghui have a good impression on the emperor and the prince.
At least it can be proved that Xie Ronghui is not a money-grubbing person.
As long as it's not a particularly bad impression, at least the Holy Emperor will be able to think of Xie Ronghui when he needs someone again in the future.
Xie Ronghui followed his words, but in just a few days, Dali Temple found out all the Qin family's dowry and corresponding expenses.
The matter involved Xie Ge's hometown, and the minister of Dali Temple did not dare to make a decision at will, so he still went to the prince for instructions.
The prince looked at what they had verified and felt that Xie Ronghui was really not a money-grubbing person.
"According to what was recorded in Qin's dowry list, Qin used two pieces of silk for her own use. After giving birth to her child, she accidentally broke a dowry tea set and misappropriated a total of one hundred and twenty-eight taels of cash. The banknote was ten thousand. Two cents have not been moved, and now there are still ten taels of gold and three hundred and seventy-two taels of silver."
The Xie family's attitude was very good, and everything was clearly investigated. Except for the 10,000 taels of silver notes that were taken back by the Chen family and kept separately, the rest were all in the hands of the Qin family.
Therefore, it seems inappropriate to say that the Qin family bribed Xie Ronghui.
The most important thing is that Xie Ronghui has not been found to have assisted the Qin family in anything during his tenure, and he even beat up a nephew of the Qin family.
From this point of view, Xie Ronghui should be innocent.
"These things are now sealed in Dali Temple?"
"Back to Your Highness, that's right. Xie Ronghui personally brought it here, along with the Qin family's original dowry list. Weichen has already obtained the dowry list that was filed with the county government at that time, which is exactly the same."
"Well, then let's return Xie Ronghui's innocence. In addition, send back all the Qin family's things, along with the money. I, Dazhi, will not covet a little girl's dowry."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Even if the entire Qin family is imprisoned, the crime will not be as serious as the married daughter. This is stipulated by the law. Unless it is a major crime that would kill the nine clans such as treason, the married daughter will generally not be implicated.
Mrs. Qin was also frightened these days. She naturally had channels to receive news. She knew something was going on in her hometown, but she could do nothing.
Mrs. Qin naturally still cares about her natal family. After all, she has been educated by the Qin family since she was a child. After she knew that marrying Xie Ronghui would not bring benefits to the Qin family, she completely settled down.
Of course, this kind of peace is not only that she doesn't compete with Xie Ronghui for favor, but also a kind of self-blame and guilt that she can't do anything for her mother's family.
Now that she learned that something happened to her parents' family, Mrs. Qin felt extremely uncomfortable.
Mrs. Qin is a smart person. Although she wants to preserve her natal family, she also realizes how much trouble she has brought to the Xie family by marrying Xie Ronghui, so she does not dare to beg him for the time being. She only dares to huddle in the small courtyard like this. , at least not being treated harshly by the Xie family.
It wasn't until the news came that Qin Dalang was tricked by Dali Temple and imprisoned that she realized that she couldn't do nothing.
At this time, Xie Ronghui was on duty again.
In other words, the Qin family's affairs did not affect the Xie family.
Ms. Qin felt that this was something that would give her peace of mind. Then her dowry was sent back, but it was temporarily sealed in the warehouse. This was because Chen Jiaojiao was worried about what would happen next, so she didn't dare to use it.
Chen Jiaojiao disdained to use it, but she didn't dare to hand it back to Qin, because she was afraid that if she used it again, it would be unclear if something happened later.
I have to say that Chen Jiaojiao handled things very wisely this time.
Because once the money and dowry items return to the Qin family, she will definitely find ways to make connections to find a way out for Qin Dalang.
Chen Jiaojiao looked at the woman kneeling and begging in front of her expressionlessly, feeling tired.
If it weren't for the father-in-law's ability, I'm afraid this incident would affect her husband's future. How could Mrs. Qin still have the nerve to beg her?
"Madam, I know that everything is my fault. I don't dare to ask too much from the eldest son. I only ask him to help my eldest brother and rescue my eldest brother. Please be accommodating, madam."
Chen Jiaojiao was so angry that her hands trembled: "Ms. Qin, since you know it's the Qin family's fault, you should know how much trouble this has brought to your husband! How can you still have the nerve to make such a request? As a thank you My concubine, the Xie family has never treated you badly, whether it’s food, clothing, or other trivial matters, they’ve never made things difficult for you, it’s okay for you to be ungrateful, how dare you make such unreasonable demands?”
Mrs. Qin cried so hard that she couldn't breathe: "Madam, I only care about my mother's family! I didn't ask the eldest son to save the entire Qin family. Isn't it enough to save just one person? My eldest brother is just a commoner, Qin He has never been involved in any major family affairs!"
"If your eldest brother is innocent, the court will naturally not wrong him. Let's wait until Dali Temple finds out everything."
Mrs. Qin took two steps on her knees and said, "Madam, that prison is such a dark place. If my eldest brother is caught, he will be sentenced to death. This, this could cost my eldest brother's life! Madam, please be kind and spare me." Brother, please save your life!"
boom!
Chen Jiaojiao was so angry that she slapped the table: "How presumptuous! Who do you think I am? Someone, drag Mrs. Qin back and keep her under strict supervision. She is not allowed to leave the yard without me."
"yes."
As soon as Chen Jiaojiao, the royal wife, showed her majesty, Mrs. Qin knew something was wrong.
But there was no other way. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, she wanted to give it a try.
Although Chen Jiaojiao was angry about the matter here, after thinking about it, she felt that Mrs. Qin was bold. She was really not sure what this person could do, so she simply went to her mother-in-law to discuss it.
"This Mrs. Qin seems to be a peaceful person, but she didn't expect it to be just an appearance. Someone kept an eye on her yard. How did the news about Qin Dalang come in? She is a stay-at-home woman and has never gone out. How did she learn about it? ?”
Only then did Chen Jiaojiao realize her negligence in management: "What mother taught me was that it was all the daughter-in-law who was careless. Later, the daughter-in-law sold off all the servants in her yard and replaced them with new ones."
Liu Ruolan nodded, I am afraid that no one around Qin will be able to stay.
At this time, these people still sent messages to Qin and encouraged her to save people. It was obvious that they were looking towards the real master of the Qin family, not this Qin.
It's a pity that Qin doesn't understand this now.
"Qin Dalang has been arrested for a long time. She can bear it until now to beg you. She must know that Rong Hui is fine here and the Xie family can't be implicated. That's why she dared to offer to save people. She is a wise person." (End of chapter)
