Jia Zhen was wearing a white brocade robe with flowers and cloud patterns embroidered with gold thread. She had a refined appearance, but her eyebrows were raised and she was playing with a whip in her hand. "Did everyone sleep well at night these days, all these years? I have never had a good night's sleep. When I arrived in Jinling, I couldn't sleep all night." Jia Zhen showed a faint smile. What kind of medicine is sold in the precious gourd, I dare not say.

"You guys really make me stand out, bullying men and women, robbing fertile land, lending usury, and even embezzling the benefits of the sacrificed land." Jia Zhen raised her foot and kicked the Fifth Lord who was in charge of the sacrifice. Concerned, she sneered and said, "Don't look at me, I don't know what you are thinking, look at me far away, I don't care about you, so I let you do my best here." Jia Zhen raised her foot and went to the other side. Clan elders kicked. "Patriarch, we were wronged. It was those slaves who bullied the master and forced us to do it." The son of the fifth grandpa who was kneeling finally spat out the cloth ball in his mouth and shouted for injustice.

"Injustice. Then I would like to ask where did your family get all the money? Baiqi." Jia Zhen didn't bother to argue with these people, so she just ordered Baiqi to come up, and Baiqi reported the assets of the Fifth Grandpa's family one by one. , the guards also moved out all the things from the fifth grandpa’s house, and many oppressed clansmen couldn’t help shouting angrily. They wondered why the money was getting less and less every year. They thought it was the land’s harvest. No, I didn't expect to be corrupted.

"Is there anything else you want to say?" Jia Zhen looked at the group of people kneeling on the ground, and at some people trembling in the crowd, without showing any signs of expression, she still asked leisurely. "These slaves should be killed with sticks, and those who should be sold are sold immediately." Jia Zhen turned and sent those slaves first, and the clansman looked at the miserable look of those slaves who looked like half-masters in bright clothes on weekdays The appearance and the cry of begging for mercy became more and more frightening. "Don't blame me for not reminding you. I know exactly who among you is safe and sound, and who has done those outrageous things. If you confess and repent yourself, I can spare you. If I finish taking care of these slaves, you If you’re still lucky, don’t let me be ruthless. After all, it’s still too broad in the past, isn’t it?” Jia Zhen stood with her hands behind her back, with a smile on her face. One is not less."

"Patriarch, spare your life, patriarch, spare your life." As soon as Jia Zhen finished speaking, a group of people knelt down in the yard, each of them was anxious to explain, for fear that she hadn't explained clearly after the slaves were taken care of there.This scene made Jia Zhen laugh angrily, a group of soft-legged shrimps, but she still signaled Bai Mo to write them down one by one, without any mistakes or omissions. "Master, it's done." The guard stepped forward to report the situation and said. "En." Jia Zhen replied, and continued to look at the people kneeling in the yard, finally waiting until they had finished speaking.

"According to the family rules, it is a serious crime to privately embezzle the land offering sacrifices. According to the family rules, all members of the clan who participated in this matter will be executed, and their descendants will be expelled from the clan." Jia Zhen said it word by word. The grandpa, the sixth grandpa and others really cried bitterly. It doesn't matter if they die. Their descendants are expelled from the clan. This is the greatest punishment. "Patriarch, if you want to punish, punish the little old man alone. Don't drive them out of the clan." The Fifth Lord cried out in a shrill voice. Losing the protection of the clan is undoubtedly the most terrible punishment.

"Regret? When you did these things, you should have thought of today." Jia Zhen smiled coldly, "I pity your children and grandchildren, who pity the children of the clan who have not been able to study for so many years and have been delayed?" Jia Zhen's words made those clansmen who had a heart of pity dare not even speak. They were holding the heart of sorrow, but the words of the patriarch hit the most painful place in their hearts.

After dealing with the family members of the Tanmo tribe who sacrificed to the fields, Jia Zhen either beat the family members who made mistakes according to the family rules, or turned them over to the government. "Bai Mo, Bai Qi, according to the list of these sufferers, you lead people to return their fields, or burn the papers, and return the money to them. In short, clean them up one by one. If there are any leftovers, take them away. Come to Bushan to give porridge and help those poor people." Jia Zhen ordered, and beat the clansman again before letting them go.

The Jia family can also be considered a local big family, and such a major event as the opening of the ancestral hall cannot be hidden from the people. "Have you heard that this time, the head of the Jia family has cleaned up all the clan members who were domineering in the past, and there are more than 20 people who have been turned over to the government." A white-haired old man said, his family is As a small business owner, he was often bullied by those Jia family men in the past, and he felt extremely happy in his heart. "What's the matter, do you still remember that Jiang's second child who said he was a slave of Ningguo Mansion, the one who bullied men and women all day long, and the one who robbed the land of the Li family in the east of the city, was beaten to death by the head of the Jia family. His family was also sold to the coal mine to work as coolies. I see that the head of the Jia family is really a good person." Xiaoer who opened the teahouse said with a smile, he was also eaten by those people here. "More than that, I saw with my own eyes that the head of the Jia family sent his confidantes to compensate and comfort those suffering people, but returned everything they robbed, even burned the usury papers, and returned the money to them. Tianjia's family is still doing porridge there." A tea drinker next to him said with a smile.

"I heard from their Jia family that their patriarch had been staying in the capital all the time. Today, the old man of their family went to help the spirit to return to his hometown. I saw that the patriarch absolutely didn't know about those things before. No wonder people said hell Emperor Gao is far away, the head of their family must have been very angry knowing these things. You don’t know, that Jia Laosan, who is usually high-spirited, is so frightened these days that he dare not even leave the door, just lying on the bed. The day the ancestral hall was opened , the patriarch killed the slaves and the clansman at least a dozen of them in one breath. Good guy." The person who had the gossip information immediately spoke up. "No, I heard that the yard of Jia's ancestral hall was full of blood that day. It's a pity, why didn't such a good person come a few years earlier?" Another old man sighed. "I don't have time, I heard that this patriarch is talented, he has already won the Juren, and even married the princess as his wife." The previous person picked up the words again.

"If you're so powerful, you must be pretty good-looking." Another passer-by joined the discussion enthusiastically. "I don't think so. It must be a black-faced Rakshasa who can scare Jia Laosan so much that he dare not go out." Busy someone jumped out to object. "You kid is just jealous. Let me tell you, my third aunt's uncle's family's boy is working in the Jia family. I heard that since the head of the Jia family came, the maids in their house have been wanting to post it all day long." , so that the patriarch could take over the house and become an aunt. And the daughter of the grandson whose eyes reach to the sky, heard that she fell in love with the head of the Jia family when she heard that she saw him on the street. All the members want their daughter to marry Patriarch Jia as the second wife." Another person joined the discussion.

No matter how the common people in Jinling contributed to the cause of gossip, Jia Zhen didn't have much time to deal with outside affairs.He is currently drafting a new management charter for the sacrifice land, and ethnology needs to be done quickly. All these things are on the desk. "Baiqi, keep an eye on the clansmen for me. I think they will be restless after they have been honest for a while. I will go to the prefect to say hello in the future." Jia Zhen ordered Baiqi.As for the account books of Jitian and the public account books, he has already handed them over to the big housekeeper.Jia Zhen lay on the bed of the beauty and slowly pondered over it. Rather than looking for a credible person, it is better to establish a reliable system. Jia Zhen originally studied management, so she still has the ability to do this.

Compared with the rumors in the market, the Jia clan saw with their own eyes that their new patriarch disowned their relatives, and the fate of the fifth and sixth grand masters who were rectifying the clan is still in sight. Live calf trembling.They ask themselves, even if they can't do it for decades, they won't take the government and sacrifice the land, but now they don't dare to take it even if they are given ten courage.The great-grandsons of the fifth great-grandfather are five years old and the other is still in their infancy. They were kicked out of the clan just like that. Even if they don’t think about themselves, they have to think about their children and grandchildren. Do they want to be lonely souls for the rest of their lives if their children die Wild ghost? "I thought about it for a while. You can't entrust one person to take care of the money for sacrificing the land and the public. It's better for you guys to arrange a time. Once a year, if your predecessor has a deficit, send someone to report to me. If you can't hide it If you report it, it should be regarded as the same crime. I think the clan elders know what the clan rules are. Every year I will send people to supervise and inspect, what do you think?" Jia Zhen looked at it with a smile and trembled slightly, clan elders , waiting for their answers.

"Don't worry, the patriarch, the little old man will definitely do his best and dare not be careless in the slightest." The fourth grandpa at the beginning replied quickly. "It's what you do that matters, not what you say. Don't be confused." Jia Zhen took a sip of tea and said softly. "Don't dare, dare not." Everyone hurriedly replied, for fear that they would be missed by the patriarch if they said too late. "Everyone in the world says that having a prosperous offspring is a blessing. According to me, it is better to have fewer offspring but all of them are wise and law-abiding. What do you think? There are a lot of people coming and going in and out of Jinling during this period, everyone should pay attention." Jia Jane put the lid on the cup and said slowly. "Yes." The Fourth Grandpa only felt that his head was sweating and panicked, but he also understood that Jia Zhen was beating them. Originally, they were thinking about whether they should go to the Rongguo Mansion for advice. If Jia Daishan knew that they were If Jin Ling acts like this, he will not let them go.In other words, the person who delivered the letter hadn't left Jinling yet, so he might be intercepted by the man of Lord Hades in front of him.
