 I didn't make it to the "big show", but I came back on the way to the exam. Isn't that a sign of loyalty and friendship?

  He turned his horse around and ran all the way to Jiang Mansion while there were few people on the street. When he saw the seal on the gate, he was stunned again.

  His emotions were changing rapidly and he almost fell off his horse. The soldier guarding the door had been replaced by a runner from the county government.

  They were familiar with the Jiang family, and they shouted loudly across the steps at the door: "The mansion is fine, under house arrest for investigation!"

  Jiang Zhiwei dismounted, took a few steps, fell on the stone slab, and was hit by the rain. He only felt refreshed.

  Fortunately, everything is fine.

  He didn't come back late.

  On July 16, the weather in Fengzhou changed - the rain stopped and the sky cleared up.

  On that day, relief food and fodder were lined up in a long queue, paraded through the city, and then transferred to farms.

  On the same day, Shen Guan, who was providing disaster relief to the farm, and Chang Zhixian, the county magistrate, announced the same news.

  "The Jiang family is innocent, and has made great contributions to disaster relief. The ban will be lifted immediately!"

  There were several literate clerks in the farm and the county, who loudly read out the results of the investigation: "The Jiang family is innocent! They have made great contributions to disaster relief! The blockade will be lifted immediately!"

  The Li family was not held accountable.

  The person who investigated was Shen Guan. Shen Guan said, "The Li family reported the case because of jealousy. The father and son of the Li family will be caned 30 times and executed at the morning market in the East District. The Li family donated 5,000 taels of silver, and the merits and demerits will be offset. No merits will be counted. A plaque will be posted to apologize and displayed to the public for 30 days."

  Five thousand taels of silver is a large amount.

  The people of Fengjiang cannot ignore it either.

  When the red list was first posted, they wrote down the donors again and again.

  On the day of the caning, the East District was crowded and bustling.

  The Li family father and son reported the crime in public, and neither of them could escape, nor could they find someone to take the punishment on their behalf.

  The East District is where the Jiang family's businesses are concentrated. The Jiang family's mansion, escort agency, shops, and even the second branch's study are all in the East District.

  The Jiang and Li families had been feuding for a long time, and the outcome was decided by the disaster of disaster relief and property confiscation.

  The current and next heads of the Li family were tortured on Jiang family's territory, and the people watching were not just from Fengzhou.

  Large signs were hung in front of his mansion, shops, and even the oil mill, with the words "Apologize to the Jiang Family" written on them.

  Simple and straightforward.

  Although the punishment is small, it is extremely insulting.

  When Old Li went out on the street that day, he was so angry that he spat out blood foam.
