"Because when a wall falls, everyone pushes it down, and because those who do evil will eventually fall on their own." Jiang Suining said in a playful tone, "Whether it is those colleagues who are eyeing Zhang Wangcheng's position, or those officials and merchants who have had grievances with Zhang Wangcheng, they will not miss this opportunity."

Jiang Zhitong spent a lot of money to get the latest news, and found out that there were at least three or four people ready to add fuel to the fire, one of whom was an official from the Ministry of Revenue.

And those who haven't found out may not necessarily not take action.

Even if corruption and bribery did not cost Zhang Wangcheng his life, he still had two lives on his hands, both of whom were concubines who were tortured to death by him. The cousin of one of them married an official of the Dali Temple half a year ago.

With the combined efforts of many parties, it is extremely difficult for Zhang Wangcheng to completely exonerate himself.

As for Zeng Fansong, not to mention that Zhang Wangcheng is gone, he is a toothless tiger, and if Zhang Wangcheng still has some tricks up his sleeve, I'm afraid he won't let him go.

After all, the gap that led to the joint efforts of multiple parties was opened by the evidence that Zeng Fansong kept privately.

Jiang Suining had not originally intended to tell Wu and the others about this, but seeing their worried looks, he simply explained the various details to them.

"In short, just leave with peace of mind, go far away, then choose a place you like and start a new life."

When Wu Lian heard the words "start a new life", she couldn't help but shed tears.

"Can I really start living again?"

On the way here to reunite with Mrs. Wu, Wu Lian had asked similar questions many times.

But at this moment, Jiang Suining looked into her eyes and answered seriously, "Yes, you can."

Tears fell in large drops, but this time they were no longer filled with pain and despair, but full of joy.

The autumn wind is refreshing, blowing the sky high and the clouds wide.

It seems that all the depression and gloom have become a thing of the past in this autumn.

Jiang Suining stood in the pavilion, watching Wu and her companions' carriage go away, and once again felt sincerely grateful for his rebirth.

Not only for herself, but also for others who can start a new life.

In the following days, everything seemed to return to how it was before.

Jiang Suining and Jiang Mushi started going to school and going home normally every day, and those who were paying attention to the Jiang family were also attracted by the affairs of Zhang Wangcheng and the Zeng family.

The news of Zhang Wangcheng's bribery and murder had already spread throughout the imperial city, and even caused public resentment. The case was tried very quickly.

Ten days later, the dust settled.

The emperor was furious and sentenced Zhang Wangcheng to death by beheading.

As for Zeng Fansong, he bribed officials, but because he reported the crime, he was only fined and his property was confiscated.

But on the second day after Zhang Wangcheng was sentenced to death by beheading, Zeng Fansong was trampled to death by a frightened horse on the street.

Although after investigation it was found to be just an accident, Zeng Fanhai could not believe it and thought it must be Zhang Wangcheng's revenge. In the end, he did not even have time to collect the body of his eldest brother, and fled the imperial city with the rest of the Zeng family.

As for the selection of imperial merchants, new officials were appointed to be responsible for it.

Jiang Zhitong delivered the goods on time and explained to the official in charge that the fabrics that had been burned were defective, but he was afraid that someone had deliberately set the fire, so he concealed the news that the fabrics were intact.

As for the rest, Jiang Zhitong did not mention much, and the officials in charge did not ask much either.

And so, another five days passed.

In the afternoon, Jiang Suining returned home from the academy. As soon as he entered, he saw the joy on Jiang Zhitong and Zheng's faces.

"Have the results of the imperial merchant election been announced?" Jiang Suining asked.

"It's out!" Jiang Zhitong nodded vigorously, "Our family is selected!"

"That's great!" Jiang Mu exclaimed.

Jiang Suining also smiled and congratulated, "Congratulations, father and mother."

"Sui Ning, this time it's really thanks to you. If it weren't for you, let alone being selected as an imperial merchant, I'm afraid the efforts of several generations of the Jiang family would have been ruined." Jiang Zhitong looked at Jiang Sui Ning with gratitude.

He originally thought that he had given Sui Ning a home, but in the end, it was Sui Ning who saved their Jiang family.

"That's right, Sui Ning, your father and I have already discussed it. From now on, everything in the Jiang family, no matter what it is, will be given to you as long as you want it. We can sign a document now!"

"No need." Jiang Suining smiled and shook his head.

"Use it!" Zheng said firmly, "Sui Ning, since you came, Mu Shi has learned to study and passed the test. Even this time, you saved the Jiang family. You are simply our family's lucky star. No matter what you want, we should give it to you."

"Your mother is right, Suining, don't be embarrassed, this is what you deserve." Jiang Zhitong also spoke.

Jiang Suining looked at them and smiled helplessly, "Even if that's the case, there's no need to write any documents. It's too awkward for a family to do this."

She saved the Jiang family for her own sake.

As for the Jiang family's things, if she really needed them, she would ask for them. She believed that Zheng and the others were sincere, but if they really signed a document, it would be a bit distorted.

Jiang Zhitong and Zheng both looked at Jiang Suining, and their hearts felt warmer because of her words "we are one family".

Seeing Jiang Suining's insistence, they did not insist on signing any written agreement, but they repeatedly emphasized that Jiang Suining must tell them directly if he wanted anything.

Of course, in addition to this, he did not forget to simply and roughly double Jiang Suining's monthly salary.

Here, Jiang Suining has become the darling of the entire Jiang family.

On the other side, when Han Nian'an heard the news that the Jiang family not only did not go bankrupt but also became a royal merchant, he was stunned.

"How is that possible! Is there something wrong with the information you got?" Han Nian'an looked at the maid in front of him and scolded unhappily, "You useless thing, you can't even get the information you asked me to get, why don't you go and get it again!"

It was at this time in the previous life that the Jiang family went bankrupt. There was no way she could have remembered it wrong.

"Miss, I have made detailed inquiries and the news is true. The Jiang family has become an imperial merchant." The maid was a little helpless.

The Jiang family was originally a wealthy family, and even she, a servant, knew that the Jiang family's fabrics were particularly good, so it was not surprising that they became the royal merchants.

"Impossible!" Han Nian'an said sharply, "You must have heard it wrong. The Jiang family will never become a royal merchant."

The Jiang family should go bankrupt, and the Jiang family must go bankrupt, otherwise how could she go to see Jiang Suining's joke.

During this period, she was constantly targeted by Han Yueying and others. It was all Jiang Suining's fault that she bought the hairpin. She counted the days until the Jiang family went bankrupt and looked forward to saving face in front of Jiang Suining. The Jiang family would never be safe.

Seeing that the maid in front of him just stood there without responding, Han Nian'an raised his hand and slapped her.

"Slut, what are you still standing here for? Go and get more information about the Jiang family."

The maid covered her face, and before she could leave, a voice came from behind Han Nian'an.

"News about the Jiang family? I know!"
