Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 966

It's just that these guys are too greedy. They want the road, but they don't want to spend a penny.

However, given their flamboyant personalities, they will probably just think that their actions are already very kind.

After all, the entire Nanzhili is so big, and they only wanted the eastern line and did not take all of it.

As for whether what Zhang Houjia said was true, Wei Wu believed that he was not lying.

First of all, there is no need for that, because these people all understand his background and know that there are more benefits in following him.

The gentry group in Jiangnan is indeed huge, but it is not a circle that an outsider like Zhang Houjia can integrate into.

Zhang Houjia is not stupid. There is no need for him to risk offending the big shots around the emperor by trying to please the people in Jiangnan.

Secondly, Weiwuhe Institute of Science and Technology can provide more business opportunities, which can be seen from cement.

Moreover, following Wei Wu can not only make money and get rich, but also give you the opportunity to obtain the title that businessmen dream of.

Anyone would know what to choose, so Zhang Houjia would not risk his future in a losing business.

So after comforting Zhang Houjia, Wei Wu had no intention of punishing him, but just asked a simple question.

"So what are you going to do with your brother-in-law?"

"My Lord, you have the final say. I'll do whatever you say. Even if it means killing him, I have no objection!"

Wei Wu had just finished speaking when Zhang Houjia immediately showed his attitude.

To be honest, Wei Wu was too lazy to bother with such an unimportant little character.

Although he did spread the news, even without him, the gentry in Jiangnan would have found other ways.

After all, their suspicion has been aroused for a long time, and these people will use all means to figure out the ins and outs of this matter.

But after all, he had made a mistake, and it was not right to just leave it alone without any punishment, so Wei Wu came up with a solution.

According to the later generations' crime of stealing commercial secrets, serious cases will be punished with imprisonment of not more than three years, and particularly serious cases will be sentenced to three to ten years.

The situation with Zhang Houjia's brother-in-law is not particularly serious, but it is heartbreaking for Zhang Houjia.

So, after a brief consideration, Wei Wu came to his own conclusion.

"He's your brother-in-law after all. Killing him would inevitably affect your relationship. Just give him a chance to live and give him a light punishment!"

"You have two choices: either go to jail for three years, or be thrown on a construction site and help us build the road for free until it's finished."

"Of course, your brother-in-law can't be thrown to Qingxia on the road section you contracted. There is no mercy."

To be honest, Zhang Houjia really hoped that Wei Wu would directly sentence that bastard to death.

He had endured enough of this damn brother-in-law. If it weren't for his wife's sake, he would have wanted to find someone to beat him up.

However, now that Wei Wu has made the decision, Zhang Houjia will not have any objection and will answer immediately.

"I thank the Marquis for his kindness on behalf of my humble wife. Don't worry, if that bastard slacks off, Miss Qingxia can just beat him up!"

Although there are two options, everyone actually knows which one to choose. No one wants to go to jail if they can stay outside.

Therefore, Wei Wu did not say much in response to Zhang Houjia's words, and just nodded.

After finishing his business, Wei Wu did not keep them and sent them away directly, forcing Qingxia to rest.

After everyone had left, Wei Wu asked his servants to prepare the carriage and head towards the Institute of Science and Technology.

In the next few days, Wei Wu became busy again, either running to the Institute of Science and Technology or going to the palace to inspect the progress of the project.

However, during this period, several extremely explosive news were widely circulated in the capital, the first of which was the Eastern Expedition.

It is said that Japan killed Ming envoys and repeatedly invaded Ming coastal villages, committing countless blood debts and its crimes are too numerous to list.
