My beloved wife is reborn, let's get divorced, Mr. Prime Minister
Chapter 94 The knife is at our necks!
Obviously, the wealthy and powerful have no chance of escape and will inevitably be thrown out.
As expected, within a few days, the imperial edict of the Emperor of Wei officially arrived in Jiangnan, and the evidence of Qian Gui's guilt was already irrefutable, with no room for reversal. Pei Huaizhi acted decisively and personally arrested the wealthy Qian Gui and put him in jail!
On the day when people were arrested and their property was confiscated, Pei Huaizhi, wearing a scarlet official uniform and standing in front of the Qian residence with a dignified temperament, no one would have expected that the seemingly gentle and elegant young man who was also the doctor of the Ministry of Personnel and the imperial envoy had such courage and actually took real action.
The long street was crowded with people watching the fun. Only when they saw Qian Gui, who had bullied men and women, being paraded through the streets in shackles by soldiers like a stray dog, did they dare to believe that this was real.
In the past, there were at least five imperial envoys who came from the capital, but most of them were just a lot of noise but little action. They were raised high and then put down lightly. Such a real scene had never been seen many times. The people had long been numb and no longer believed in the court. They gathered together today just to make fun of this young man.
No one expected that we would actually see this day. It is so rare.''
The crowd was already buzzing.
Someone said, "This young man is really amazing! Young and promising, young and promising!"
But some people were not optimistic and said, "It's terrible, terrible. A powerful dragon cannot defeat a local snake. This Imperial Envoy Pei is probably in danger. These noble families are not easy to deal with. This may have stirred up a hornet's nest. There will be no good consequences in the future."
The common people were talking to each other, without avoiding Pei Huaizhi and his men, and these words naturally reached Pei Huaizhi's ears.
Shuqi: "Sir?"
Pei Huaizhi is tall and handsome with a clear face. "Let Wu Songsong be more alert as for Madam." Thinking of this, he needs to find a suitable opportunity to send Song Qingcheng back to the capital.
Books and chess should be.
Pei Huaizhi withdrew his gaze. What happened in Jiangnan was not a one-day job. The aristocratic families were intertwined and deeply rooted. Eradicating the cancer and restoring peace and order was far more complicated and dangerous than what he had deduced in the capital.
Afterwards, Pei Huaizhi ordered his men to parade the man for seven days and then beheaded him at the West Market Caishikou, completely making use of this one chicken to the extreme. A single stone caused a thousand ripples, and the entire Jinling aristocratic family felt insecure. Many aristocratic families sought to protect themselves through various channels. Among them, some smaller families took the initiative to cooperate with Pei Huaizhi in surveying the land.
This kind of fighting style of exposing himself to danger and disregarding his own safety made the whole Jinling feel that this imperial envoy from the capital had gone crazy!

The main hall of the Jiangnan Jiedushi's mansion was filled with some of the most famous aristocratic families in Jinling City, all because of the high cost of money.
It is no pity that Qian Gui died, but they don't want to follow in his footsteps.
They are all big wealthy families in Jinling City, and naturally they have done a lot of dirty things. Now Qian Gui is in front of them, so they are naturally uneasy, fearing that they will become the next Qian Gui. They have been unable to sleep for several days in a row, and then they came to the Jiedushi Mansion like ants on the hot pan, seeking protection from Jiedushi Cao Yi.
The hall was bustling with activity, but Cao Yi, sitting at the first seat, was calmly sipping the fine white tea in front of him.
"Sir Jiedushi, please say something, the knife is at our necks."
"Yes! Everybody has been showing you respect on a daily basis, you can't just sit there and do nothing!"
Everyone around echoed.
Jiangnan Jiedushi Cao Yi raised his eyelids and said, "If you don't have any evidence, what are you afraid of? If he does have evidence, I won't be able to protect you. After all, I am an official appointed by the court. Can I help you go against the court?"
"this......"
Everyone looked at each other, knowing that he was not going to make the decision for them.
Before he could react, he heard the governor continue, "I heard that the doctor of the Qingli Division likes women, especially those that are not even as big as a fist. Moreover, if he doesn't respond, the workload will be heavy during the land survey, and some accidents are bound to happen, right? So many imperial envoys came here before, and they all had accidents, right?"
They were all old foxes, and what they said was so clear, there was nothing for everyone to not understand. They had been scared away by the imperial envoy before, but now after being reminded by Jiangnan Jiedu Cao Yi, they calmed down.
Be polite before using force. If you don't accept the toast, you will have to drink the penalty wine.

As spring turned to autumn, Pei Huaizhi made drastic changes outside. Song Qingcheng heard that Pei Huaizhi had captured several powerful families who had committed crimes of burning, killing and looting, and had taken back their land, and redistributed the land according to the population, which made people very happy.
For a time, Pei Huaizhi became a popular young talent in the entire Jinling City.
In Ripple Garden alone, she collected many beauties for him, all of them were from good families with slim waists and thin hips.
When this person was sent to her, she sent someone to ask for instructions on whether to stay or decline, but she received a reply letter from Pei Huai, which only had two words on it!
Casual!
The two words were so powerful that they could be seen through the paper. It seemed that the person who wrote them was not in a very happy mood. Song Qingcheng thought that he must have encountered some difficult problems. But since he was pleading for the people, she would not mind his bad temper.
But facing these beauties, Song Qingcheng was a little troubled. Should she stay or not?
Xia He stood beside her angrily, telling her not to do anything stupid. These days, Xia He had a follower named Wu Songsong. Ever since Wu Songsong ate Xia He's snacks, he changed from a secret guard to a visible guard.
Wu Songsong usually keeps quiet, but because of this incident, he spoke up, "The master is angry! And there might be spies among these girls!"
“Ah?! Really?”
Song Qingcheng stared at the two words for a long while.
Afterwards, she asked Wu Songsong to politely decline the offers of beauties sent to her.
Wu Songsong sent everyone out of the mansion, and sent a letter to the government office by carrier pigeon. In the past, he used his legs for lightness skills, but now he didn't want Song Qingcheng in Lianyi Garden to be in danger, so he used carrier pigeon. Anyway, the distance between them was not far, and the carrier pigeon would fly to Pei Huaizhi after flapping its wings a few times.

The Qiqiao Festival was coming soon, and the sample clothes in the capital had already come into her hands. The finished clothes were very stunning, and she was sure that once they were released in the capital, they would cause a sensation in the entire capital and become a delicacy that the noble ladies in the capital would compete to buy.
Song Qingcheng immediately arranged for someone to make more than a dozen sets according to the common sizes of women and sell them during the Qiqiao Festival.
At the same time, the same thing happened to Hua Xiangrong in Jinling.
But no matter whether it was Hua Xiangrong in the capital or Hua Xiangrong in Jinling, Song Qingcheng temporarily hid her name and became the shopkeeper behind the scenes.
In addition to Hua Xiangrong's matter, a letter also came from the Song Mansion in the capital. In addition to asking her to protect herself, the letter did not avoid Song Qingcheng's previous questions about Madam Cao.
It turned out that Mrs. Cao had been engaged to Mr. Song when they were children, but later for unknown reasons, the girl's family came to cancel the engagement. Soon after, the girl married into the Cao family and became Mrs. Cao.
As time goes by, this has become a forgotten past event.
Song Qingcheng closed the letter, but something suddenly came to her mind.
