The thick stack of evidence could not even be written, so I could only write it with a preface and put it in a brocade box to the main hall. The court meeting in Ganyu Hall was still in progress, but Zhao Zhen called it a halt and was silent for a long time when he looked at the thick stack of comments.

The court officials already knew that there was no room for any turnaround in the Wang family. All of this seemed to have been arranged from the beginning, but it was not the arrangement of the official family, but human nature, a prosperous family of relatives and a wealthy family of relatives, because of greed.

But Zhao Zhen’s idea was different from theirs. Zhao Zhen believed that this was not caused by greed. The Wang family’s wealth had long been accumulated to an endless level, so why should we be greedy for wealth?

In fact, this is the characteristic of capital. It is not that the Wang family wants to constantly make money, but that capital has invisibly controlled the family. As the patriarch, Wang Mengzheng did not discover its destructiveness, but obeyed capital and followed it all the way forward.

Has the Wang family never done good deeds?

How is that possible!

Such a wealthy and powerful family must accumulate good deeds. There are many people in the Shendu City who have received favor from the Wang family. They have never exhausted their efforts when doing these Wang family.

But they are also responsible for the people below. How many merchants, workers, and how many small shops and peddlers need to be supported by the Wang family? Too many.

Sometimes it is not the Wang family that wants to move forward and expand and develop endlessly, but the people below want to do this.

But this does not mean that the Wang family is innocent. The Wang family's greed is driven by capital because it fails to keep its original intention. This is the biggest sin. Zhao Zhen must completely eradicate this and make all merchants cautious.

This is also his best opportunity to push the law.

Therefore, in Zhao Zhen's eyes, the Wang family is not a completely black-hearted family, so they did not intend to completely destroy it, but used a better punishment method than destruction to divide it.

As for how to divide it... the house is naturally confiscated, which is even more uncomfortable than killing Wang Mengzheng and Wang Qixiong and his son.

I am feeling that the nearly 60-year-old industry has been destroyed and becoming something that others have become? How can two generations, or even three generations of people, be worse than cutting the water?

Zhao Zhen casually browsed the crime in the brocade box, but the last page shocked him. This was the worst result he thought of, but it still appeared. The purchased coolies were doing the hardest work, including children.

These are cheap labor, and they are not even cheap, so overuse inevitably occurs. Coolie is consumed like consumables, buried under the land behind the factory, like garbage.

Because of the large number of people and the chaos in the factory, the coolies could only focus on what was happening in front of them. The people who died in just half a year were unable to count them. They were all sent to the incinerator to burn, and the dust and dregs were buried in the big pit behind the factory.

These things were not done by Wang Mengzheng and Wang Qixiong, but they must have nothing to do with the Wang family. The person who manages the factory is Wang Jian, the second manager of the Wang family, which has been confirmed.

Putting down the memorial, Zhao Zhen looked outside the tall palace gate of Ganyu Hall, and the sun shone on the white marble steps, looking pure and flawless, but under such a bright world, something horrible happened.

"Issuing an order to seize all the property of the Wang family, and handing it over to the third department of the Ministry of Revenue to report to me. The person in charge of the Wang family was escorted to the Censorate's prison, and the Wang family's residence was temporarily left as a refuge for the elderly and young people..."

Huh... the court officials breathed a sigh of relief. After all, they were the queen's family and the wealthy family of the Song Dynasty. If the Wang family was implicated, it would definitely damage the reputation of the official family. In history books, a ruthless and righteous ruler cannot escape.

It will also leave gaps between the emperor and the empress.

Of course, in addition to the court officials, Chen Tong, who was hiding in the side door of the back hall, eavesdropping, told the uneasy Wang Yuyan as quickly as possible.

"Empress, the official family issued an order, but it did not implicate the entire Wang family. It only imprisoned the father-in-law and uncle. It was not the prison of the Ministry of Justice, but the prison cell of the Censorate."

Wang Yuyan nodded slightly and pursed her lips, "The official treats me sincerely!"

The people detained in the Ministry of Justice's prison are of all kinds, while the prisons of the Censorate generally only detain criminal officials, which is slightly better than the two.

She knew that this was the last care given to the Wang family by the government and the last dignity. As for what to do in the future, it all depends on the attitude of her father and brother.

In fact, Wang Yuyan discussed this matter with Zhao Zhen in the Spring Equinox Hall three days ago. Later, she was interrupted by Shi Jie's arrival, but then there was a division. The easiest way was to sell the Wang family's industry, the most important of which was the coffee manor in Yunnan and the glass factory in Shendu City.

The theory of these two things is too big. Pure and flawless glass is just a material with stone. The technology is not very complicated. It just requires skillful mixing of craftsmen. As for coffee, after planting, one type of land in Yunnan will be rewarded if you take care of it carefully.

Therefore, even if the Wang family's industries are divided, there will be no major problems. Even for the Song Dynasty, the fall of the Wang family will not cause tax losses but will increase.

Because more businesses will take over, tax revenue will definitely be guaranteed.

With all the evidence of the crime, the Wang family had nothing to deny. After the court meeting, Shi Jie went to the Wang family with his decree. Wang Mengzheng had prepared everything. In his opinion, this was done by the official family on purpose, and everything was a crime that he wanted to accuse.

Even when he was taken out of the mansion, he seemed quite calm, but Wang Qixiong was extremely frightened. He thought he could not escape this time because his father didn't know about some things but he knew clearly.

When Shi Jie put the thick file in front of Wang Mengzheng, the old man was shocked. Many of them were unknown to him, and then he felt powerless. His eyes looked at Wang Qixiong not angry but angry at him.

Even in the end, I could only squeeze out a sentence from the gap of my teeth: "Why did it come here? Why did it come here!"

Wang Qixiong shook his head slightly: "The child had to do it!"

Neither Shi Jie nor Wang Mengzheng knew that Wang Qixiong was really forced to do so. He was invisibly baked on fire. The expansion of capital was not rational. It only pursued and benefit, and would not consider anything else.

That's why the Wang family has today's situation. Even if Wang Qixiong wants to stop, it is impossible. In fact, when Wang Meng asked Zhao Zhen for a business brand of coffee and glass, the ending today was already destined.

But he doesn't know it himself!

Zhao Zhen did not deliberately target the Wang family because he knew that the Wang family was no longer controlled and heading towards the abyss, just like a wild horse pulling the car.

Finally, the carriage did not stop at the cliff, but fell into the abyss together with the Wang family.
