Chapter 818 Understanding Current Affairs
When everyone saw this, some wanted to go to the government office to continue watching the fun, while others wanted to just disperse.
Song Yaoyao: [Gua Gua, how will Yao Qi and Chen Qiuyan be sentenced?
If I didn't have to patrol, I would have wanted to follow and see what happened next. 】
Gua Gua: [For things like this, men would generally be beaten with thirty sticks, and women would be beaten with twenty sticks, and then they would be sentenced to three years of hard labor!
If they were beaten with these boards, they would probably lose their lives and have to do hard labor for another three years. Whether they can survive depends on their luck! 】
Song Yaoyao: [This is what they deserve! ]
Guagua: [Yeah.
Host, look behind you. 】
When Song Yaoyao turned around, she saw Sun Liucai and his men preparing to take the opportunity to slip away.
Song Qinghui also heard Guagua's reminder and immediately blocked Sun Liucai and the others' way:
"Where do you want to go?"
Sun Liucai stopped his cautious steps, turned around, and put on a flattering smile:
"Sir, isn't everything clear now?
Someone did borrow money from us, and I am telling the truth.
Now that we know it was a misunderstanding, we are going to go back and report the matter to our master."
Song Yaoyao looked at Sun Liucai with a fake smile:
"You don't have anything to say?"
Sun Liucai shook his head like a rattle and said:
"No, no."
"Really do not have?"
"No."
"You didn't, but I do have something to say."
"what?"
Sun Liucai obviously didn't expect the adult in front of him to say that, and he didn't react for a moment.
Song Yaoyao ignored Sun Liucai's stunned expression and said:
"Some time ago, the government issued a notice prohibiting anyone from lending money at high interest for any reason. You should know this, right?"
After hearing this, Sun Liu obviously shrank back a little, and replied stutteringly:
"I know, I know."
"Since you know this, you still dare to lend money at high interest rates.
Don’t you want to live anymore?”
Sun Liucai and his group were so frightened that they knelt on the ground.
The people had already dispersed, but when they saw this situation, they gathered together again.
Sun Liucai wiped the nonexistent cold sweat from his forehead and said:
"Sir, we have not mentioned the debt since we followed you to this yard just now."
“This officer knows.
But this does not erase the fact that you lent money at high interest rates.”
Sun Liu realized that they had run into trouble today. He thought for a moment and made a bold decision. He said:
"Sir, we are just errand boys, small characters."
Song Yaoyao looked at Sun Liucai with interest:
"Oh? What you mean is that there are big fish above you?"
Sun Liucai gritted his teeth and said, "Yes."
Song Yaoyao became more interested and said:
"Then tell me, who is the big fish?
If you tell me the truth, I might be able to give you a lighter sentence because you took the initiative to tell me the truth."
"Yes."
Sun Liucai has thought it through very clearly. It is better to die with a friend than with the enemy. If the game is over, then we all die together?
He would not take the blame for them.
Every time he went to collect debts, he would rush to the front with a few brothers. The bad guys let them do the work, and when it came time to divide the money, they could only get a very little.
Those bastards took most of the money.
Now that something has happened, he will take responsibility for what is his responsibility, but if it is not his responsibility, they can forget about asking him to take the responsibility.
He won't be the scapegoat!
In just such a short while, Sun Liucai had already figured it out clearly.
When Song Yaoyao asked her, he immediately started talking:
“I don’t know who the master behind us is, but we heard from Shopkeeper Ding that our master is a very important person and a senior official in the court.
Shopkeeper Ding, whose name is Ding Wangchuan, is in charge of all matters related to loan sharking."
"Have you never seen the master behind this?"
"No.
Every time when it was time to reconcile the accounts, the shopkeeper would take the account book out. We guessed that the shopkeeper took the initiative to go to the master's house to reconcile the accounts.
It was so mysterious that we became more and more curious.
Once, it was the day to reconcile the accounts. The shopkeeper went out with the account book and we followed him.
As a result, not long after we followed him out, we were almost discovered by the guards around the shopkeeper. Fortunately, we hid quickly.
Since then we have never dared to follow the shopkeeper’s affairs again.”
Song Yaoyao nodded and asked:
"What else do you know?"
"Sir, we are just minions, and this is all we know."
"Where is the place where you lend money at high interest? Take us there."
"Yes, I'll take you there right away."
Sun Liucai didn't expect that the adult in front of him was so easy to talk to and believed him so easily!
But what he said was the truth. He was not a core member and knew very little!
Sun Liucai took Song Yaoyao and the others towards the place where money was loaned out at high interest.
Song Yaoyao: [Guagua, who is the master behind Sun Liucai and the others? ]
Guagua: [It is related to Li Fengyang, the Minister of Rites. ]
Song Yaoyao snorted coldly:
[It’s indeed a big fish.]
He is a third-rank official. Isn't this breaking the law knowingly?
He is really a man who values money over life! 】
Guagua: [Host, I only said it was related to Li Fengyang, I didn’t say it was him.]
Song Yaoyao: [Guagua, what do you mean by this?
Can you make your point clear?
If you stop talking halfway, you may end up getting sacked when you go out! 】
Guagua: [Okay! It’s my fault!
Next, I will tell you.
It wasn't done by the Minister of Rites, but it was related to him.
This was done by his concubine Jiang Yunxin. 】
Song Yaoyao: [No way?
You mean, a concubine is the master behind the whole thing? 】
Guagua: [Not bad! ]
Song Yaoyao: [Jiang Yunxin is so powerful?
Why do I find this so incredible?
Could it be that this concubine has some hidden identity? Is she originally a big boss? 】
Guagua: [That’s not the case.]
Jiang Yunxin is just an ordinary woman in the backyard, not a big shot.
In fact, the matter was very simple. Jiang Yunxin borrowed the name of the Minister of Rites Li Fengyang to lend money at high interest.
She has been doing this for many years and there have been no mistakes.
Before the fall of Longyuan Kingdom, the imperial court also banned usury, but the profits from usury were huge, so many people were still willing to take the risk.
Jiang Yunxin is one of them. She often says: Fortunes are sought in danger! Without taking risks, how can pie fall from the sky?
Later, after the Tianfeng Kingdom came to power, it immediately posted a notice prohibiting anyone from lending money for any reason.
Jiang Yunxin knew about the notice.
She felt that she had been doing this for so many years and nothing had ever happened before. As long as she asked her subordinates to be careful, nothing would happen.
Therefore, Jiang Yunxin didn't take the government notice seriously at all. 】
