Chapter 36 You need to be hard on yourself

"Master, after all, we ruined the good thing of Yuan Shijiao." Huang Xingjun was still a little worried.

"We're not targeting Yuanshijiao, it's just a coincidence." Fang Jing said with a slight smile, "Besides, regarding the sale of private salt, Yuanshijiao is not only on the side of the Chen family firm. I'm afraid Chen Zhiwei is a member of Yuanshijiao in the world. Quite a lot. The loss of a Chen family business name is not enough for Yuan Shijiao, so there is no need to go to war for it? For them, if they are exposed because of this, the loss will be even greater. Moreover, they Even if we send some people over, are we afraid?"

"Master, in the face of such a power as the Yuan Shijiao, the subordinates are always uneasy." Huang Zhenjun knew that what Fang Jing said made sense.

For Yuan Shijiao, this matter is actually a trivial matter.

Maybe they don't care, maybe they will kill, who knows what Yuan Shijiao thinks?

"At least there won't be any movement in Yuanshijiao in a short period of time. The imperial court is now keeping a close eye on Jiangnan Dongjun. Didn't you see that even the governor came?" Fang Jing said, "As long as we are strong enough, he We also have to weigh whether it is worth conflicting with us."

"What the young master said is that instead of worrying here, it's better to improve yourself. You need to be strong to make iron." Huang Xingjun nodded.

"It's still the same sentence, let's not think about these things for the time being, and think about the purpose of our coming." Fang Jing looked at the carriages, "From the information obtained from Chen Zhiwei, the items on the nine carriages are worth 65 yuan in total. About two taels, of course I think those antique calligraphy and paintings should be more expensive, a total of 70 taels is no problem."

Among them, 1 taels of gold is equivalent to 10 taels of silver.

"Just now, my subordinate said that 50 taels is indeed a little less." Huang Xingjun said with emotion.

"If it weren't for the Chen family selling private salt, it would be about 50 taels." Fang Jing thought for a while and said, "The property here is probably [-] to [-]% of the Chen family's property."

The rest of the Chen family are mainly those land deeds, house deeds, shops, etc., plus some scattered goods, which cannot be exchanged for silver taels in a short time, and there should be more than [-] yuan.

The Chen family is worth a million taels.

But Fang Jing knew that this kind of net worth was actually very average in a wealthy place like Jiangnan Dongjun, and it was considered low among firms and some wealthy families.

For a real big business, the threshold for a wealthy family has to start at tens of millions of taels.

"Young master, what about the rest of the Chen family?" Huang Zhenjun asked.

"Let the government search and arrest them first." Fang Jing smiled, "Chen Zhiwei arranged for them to escape, hoping to wait for Yuanshijiao to respond. But now there will be no support and arrangement from Yuanshijiao, and it will definitely fall into the hands of the government. With my temperament, no one from the Chen family will stay."

Huang Xingjun froze for a moment, opened his mouth and finally remained silent.

"Are you a little disappointed? Do you think I killed innocent people indiscriminately?" Fang Jing asked, "You used to be considered a righteous person, so you can't see what I do?"

"Righteous way?" Huang Zhenjun shook his head and smiled wryly, "Maybe it was in the past? But think about what happened to me back then, those so-called respected righteous seniors, would anyone stand up and say a word for me? The young master's family was arrested by the Chen family. Harmful, are there any innocent people in the Chen family? Maybe there are, but it's only natural for the Chen family to take their lives."

"You're not too pedantic." Fang Jing smiled, "Let's do this, the three generations of Chen Zhiwei brothers' relatives can't live, and other officials can deal with it as they like."

"Understood, this subordinate will handle this matter." Huang Xingjun nodded and said.

With Fang Jing's temperament in his previous life, no one in the Chen family could survive, but now he has inherited Fang Jing's identity.

With Fang Jing's temperament, he couldn't be that ruthless.

Killing the three generations of the Chen family is almost killing the Chen family. As for the others, even if they are alive, they have to pass the test of the government. Those who are imprisoned are in prison, and those who are exiled. In the end, how many survive depends on their luck.

Fang Jing knew that Huang Zhenjun still disapproved of his killing spree in his heart, but it wasn't that Fang Jing was afraid of Huang Zhenjun. Since he was living as Fang Jing, some things had to be distinguished from his previous life.

Revenge needs to be reported, enough is enough.

"Let's take these back to the courtyard outside Baishui City and put them away, and deal with those antique calligraphy and paintings slowly later." Fang Jing said.

"Master, don't worry, these antique calligraphy and paintings will be sold in batches in many places, and our identities will not be revealed." Huang Xingjun laughed.

This time the harvest was full, and Huang Xingjun was also filled with emotion.

One day later, the Chen family was surrounded by officers and soldiers. Due to Chen Zhiwei's absence, the Chen family lost its backbone.

Under the command of Chen Zhilie, some guards wanted to attack the officers and soldiers.

It's a pity that without masters like Ge Matu and Zhou Chang, they were no match for the officers and soldiers, and they were quickly captured.

The Chen family's home was ransacked, and the county magistrate of Qingshui County was stripped of his crown and taken to prison awaiting trial.

The county magistrate of Qingshui County participated in it, and the evidence is conclusive.

Other officials of the county government, large and small, were also ordered not to go out at home, pending further investigation.

"Xiao Jing, Xiao Jing, good news." Wang Bosong came to Fang Jing's residence early in the morning.

"Uncle Wang."

"The Chen family is over, it's over, your father and mother's vengeance has been avenged." Wang Bosong shouted, "God is so eye-opening. I heard that Chen Zhiwei wanted to escape with his belongings. Unexpectedly, he was robbed by bandits on the way and lost them." Both Chen Zhihao and Chen Zhilie were arrested by the government and brought to justice, in my opinion, they will not be able to escape the fate of Qiu Houwen's beheading..."

Fang Jing didn't interrupt Wang Bosong's words. Although he knew all these things, he was very clear that Wang Bosong cared about him and was happy for him.

"Oh, by the way, Qisheng is too busy these days, so he asked someone to bring you a message, saying that he is very grateful to your senior." Wang Bosong said, "Xiao Jing, Qisheng has made great achievements this time. That's a big show in front of the magistrate, and when the time comes to reward meritorious deeds, you must also have a share."

"Uncle Wang, I'm not a member of the government, and it's not my turn to reward meritorious deeds." Fang Jing said.

"Hey, you can't say that." Wang Bosong shook his head and said, "We don't take advantage of anyone, but we still have to fight for what we want. The government has to give you back the property that the Chen family has seized from your Fang family, right?"

"Return it to me?" Fang Jing asked, "I'm afraid it's unlikely, so I have to buy it again?"

"It's different this time. The imperial envoy is here." Wang Bosong said, "The credit of the senior is on your head, and the imperial envoy knows it. You have to give me some face. Qi Sheng has already revealed this to me, so you can Don't worry."

"It would be great if this is really the case." Fang Jing smiled, "Actually, I thought that I would get some discounts for buying Fang's property from the government with this credit. I also prepared some money for this. Come, my silver may have other uses."
