Chapter 317 Questions
Chapter 317 Questioning
Zhuang Jike's identity was verified and he was imprisoned, while his wife and children were taken back to the banker's house by Mrs. Zhuang.
When Mr. Zhuang learned about this, he was dumbfounded, "How dare you?"
"The master is cruel and can abandon Ke'er, but I can't just watch my son die." Mrs. Zhuang yelled back even louder.
Both husband and wife glared at each other fiercely and their eyes met, and Mr. Zhuang was defeated.
Mrs. Zhuang's ferocious look like a she-wolf made him feel inexplicably frightened.
"Who did you find? How much money did you spend?" Mr. Zhuang asked.
Mrs. Zhuang pursed her lips and lowered her eyelids.
"Tell me, how much money did you spend?" Mr. Zhuang urged.
"One hundred and fifty thousand taels." Mrs. Zhuang whispered.
"How much?" Mr. Zhuang heard clearly, but couldn't believe it and asked.
Jiang Changning has a noble status and is pregnant. No one dares to force her to go to the court of the Ministry of Punishment.
"You can come up with something with your pig brain. Just shut up." Mr. Zhuang said viciously.
"Where did you get so much money?" Mr. Zhuang asked with a frown.
What he didn't know was that after Mr. Zhuang Er and Mrs. Zhuang Er got into the carriage, they were saying: "What should we do to get rid of the relationship with the big house?"
"Are we just going to sit there and wait for death?" Mrs. Zhuang Er asked in horror.
Jiang Changning took the cup handed by King Jin, took a sip, and continued: "After I found out, I was very angry and decided not to interact with the banker anymore. After all, the person closest to me and the banker is Mrs. Zhuang."
"I don't know, but since the old lady of the village, my great-aunt, died after being angered by her unfilial son, I have no contact with the banker anymore." Jiang Changning told the truth and did not help the banker to cover up at all.
Mr. Zhuang said weakly: "I just found out about this."
"She was so bold that she sold off all the property of the banker in order to change prisoner." Mr. Zhuang had nothing to hide in front of his brothers.
Although Mrs. Zhuang Er also felt distressed about the large amount of money, at this time she was more concerned about: "Sister-in-law, changing prisoners is a serious crime. If you do this, we will all be killed."
"What?" Mr. Zhuang's face was full of disbelief, and he suddenly remembered what happened more than two years ago, "How dare you?"
"You can't write two characters "zhuang" in one stroke. You say it doesn't matter, but outsiders don't think so. They might think that our second wife has collected money." The second master of Zhuang sighed.
"What should we do now? Brother." Mr. Zhuang Er asked eagerly.
"The third brother of the banker owes a huge gambling debt, the fourth brother is in jail, and Mrs. Zhuang is not in good health. She is so angry that she is gone."
Originally, they were relatives from the first generation, representatives from the second generation, and the third and fourth generations could not recognize each other.
"Money is something external to the body. As long as it can save Ke'er, there is nothing we can't give up." Mrs. Zhuang said plausibly.
The next day, the Prince of Jin's Mansion welcomed King Yu and King De, who didn't know whether they should be called distinguished guests or unwelcome guests.
"Second brother, thank you very much." Mr. Zhuang's face was full of gratitude. After all, he was a brother and did not stand by and watch when things happened.
Mrs. Zhuang was stunned by him and looked at him blankly.
King Yu glanced at him, and the question was very direct.
If the King of Jin is willing to come forward, it will not be difficult to quell the matter, but the King of Jin may not be willing to come forward.
"This matter has nothing to do with our second wife in the first place." Mrs. Zhuang Er said.
Mrs. Zhuang Er thought for a while and said, "I think we should go find Princess Jin and ask her to help our second room."
"Sister-in-law, you!" Mr. Zhuang Er also covered his chest, "How dare you?"
Mrs. Zhuang stopped talking again. Mr. Zhuang realized something and said, "Bring me the family account book."
"If mother is still here, maybe she can be persuaded to help." Mr. Zhuang Er said sadly.
Both King Yu and King De were shocked, "Old Mrs. Zhuang was so angry that she died of anger?"
"Everything has been sold. Except for the house where we live now, everything else has been sold." Mrs. Zhuang knew that she couldn't hide it.
The four people looked solemn for a long time, and Mrs. Zhuang said happily: "You can ask Princess Jin to come forward and calm the matter."
"I'm not trying to find a way to solve the problem." Mrs. Zhuang argued aggrievedly.
"This is the only ancestral home left." Mr. Zhuang said with despair on his face.
Mrs. Zhuang Er raised the corners of her lips. If the timing hadn't been wrong, she would have praised her.
Mr. Zhuang covered his chest with one hand and pointed at her with one hand, "You, you, you, how dare you?"
"Let's give it a try." Mrs. Zhuang Er begged.
"I didn't expect that this matter would be found out two years later. It was all fine." Mrs. Zhuang still thought that after the matter calmed down, she could go to Hangzhou to see her children and grandchildren.
"One hundred and fifty thousand taels." Mrs. Zhuang's voice was louder.
King Yu and King De came to the Prince Jin's Mansion in person to ask questions, and King Jin even sat aside to prevent King Yu from saying anything and scaring his little princess.
"Princess Jin, do you know about the banker's prisoner exchange?" King De asked directly.
"If she doesn't want to help, just say it was her fault." Mrs. Zhuang's mind works very fast when she does bad things.
Mr. Zhuang Er sighed, "If you want to try it, just try it. Prepare a gift and you can visit Prince Jin's Mansion tomorrow."
"Brother, just stop talking, don't do it, don't do it." Although Mr. Zhuang also wanted to beat Mrs. Zhuang, but seeing his eldest brother beating his eldest sister-in-law, it was too rude for him not to advise her.
Mr. Zhuang looked at him and sighed heavily, "This case will be supervised by King Yu and King De. The emperor ordered a thorough and strict investigation."
After a moment of silence, Mr. Zhuang Er winked at Mrs. Zhuang Er, stood up and said, "Brother, I'm going out to find someone and think of something."
Mrs. Zhuang Er sneered, "Sister-in-law, you have a beautiful idea. Princess Jin has long been tired of the banker, how could she help you?"
"Is it the elder sister-in-law who bribed those people to exchange for prisoners?" Mr. Zhuang Er didn't believe that his elder brother was not involved in this matter.
At this time, the maid came to report that the second master and second wife were here.
Apart from these words, he really didn't know what to say.
When Mr. Zhuang Er and Mrs. Zhuang Er heard about this, they were frightened to death. This was a serious crime for Wenzhan!
The couple came to the main house of the banker to question the crime, "Brother, how could such a thing happen?"
Mr. Zhuang Er was shocked and said, "The sacrificial field has also been sold?"
"Pa!" Mr. Zhuang slapped Mrs. Zhuang and cursed: "You stupid and poisonous bitch."
You must know that since the old lady Zhuang passed away, Jiang Changning has no contact with the banker. Even if the banker sends a holiday gift, it will be returned unchanged.
"You want to rely on Princess Jin, can you do it?" Mr. Zhuang said angrily.
It was normal for Jiang Changning not to interact with the Zhuang family after the death of Mrs. Zhuang.
The two princes did not embarrass Jiang Changning and just asked a few simple questions.
Then they confirmed that Jiang Changning was not involved in this matter.
"Help the princess back to the courtyard to rest." After King Jin ordered the maid, he smiled at King Yu and King De, "I will send you two out."
