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 high-ranking 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 accounts out. We guessed that the shopkeeper took the initiative to go to the master's house to reconcile the accounts.
It's so mysterious that we are more and more curious.
Once, it was the day to reconcile the accounts. The shopkeeper went out with the accounts and we followed him.
As a result, we had just followed him out for a short while when we were almost discovered by the guards surrounding the shopkeeper, luckily we hid quickly.
Since then we no longer dare to follow the shopkeeper's affairs."
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 would speak like this and believe him so much!
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 seems to be 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 leave your words unsaid, you'll easily get sacked when you go out! 】
Guagua: [Come on! 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 affair? 】
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? Was she born 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 story is 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 prohibited usury, but the profits from usury were so great that 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 happened before. As long as she asked her subordinates to be careful, nothing would happen.
Therefore, Jiang Yunxin didn't take the government's notice seriously at all. 】
