The gods learned more about the Zhang family from the customers' gossip.

Interspersed among them are stories about affordable granaries and cultivators, all of which tell of how they kindly rescued people in distress without expecting anything in return.

I originally thought that only the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhang family was capable, and the young and old in the Zhang family were hardworking.

In fact, the shopkeeper and his staff have always been adhering to the original purpose of the establishment of the affordable granary, which is to do their best to help the kind people in need to overcome difficulties. They must not let the kind people freeze and starve to death.

The Zhang family received help from the shopkeeper and clerk of the Pingjia Granary, and also received kind advice from the cultivators who were staying there temporarily. It was with the concerted efforts of the whole family that the business was able to flourish. Life was getting better and better.

When it comes down to it, it was all thanks to the good deeds and benevolent policies of Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan.

From the very beginning, they led like-minded subordinates to establish a business system based on kindness.

While ensuring its own profitability, it also benefits the poor people in various places.

The law enforcement gods admire Xiao Yunyan, Li Mohan and their children more and more.

Although we cannot see them doing good deeds all the time and in all places, no matter where the gods visit, we can hear about their good deeds and the good results they have produced.

The law enforcement gods are increasingly aware that even the most severe punishment cannot change the disgusting nature of those with no good intentions.

On the contrary, selfless and kind help may awaken the kindness in ordinary people's hearts.

It is also possible to use strong factual contrast to educate people with evil thoughts that evil causes will bring evil results, and good causes will bring good results, so that they can actively change their minds and abandon evil and do good.

The best example is the case of Magistrate Jin and his son, Young Master Jin. Their sudden and drastic changes were so unbelievable that their relatives thought their souls had been possessed by other bodies.

Magistrate Jin relied on the blessing of his family and, as a fellow Jinshi, he was promoted all the way and at the age of 28 he got the lucrative position of governor of a county in a wealthy place.

The young Jin County Magistrate was successful and many noble ladies pursued him. At the age of eighteen, he married the girl he loved, who was the legitimate daughter of the Taotai.

In the second year of their marriage, they gave birth to a son, Prince Jin.

Both husband and wife grew up with a silver spoon in their mouths. They were the eldest son and daughter of an official family. They had noble status and were extremely doting on the eldest son.

Young Master Jin was brought up spoiled by his elders and had never personally experienced the difficulties of ordinary people's lives.

Therefore, he has never known the sufferings of the world, nor has he the kindness to sympathize with the hardships of ordinary people's lives.

This time, because of the incident with the boat girl, Zhang's eldest son asked the second son of Lan to write a petition to sue Magistrate Jin and his son.

The Jin family didn't take it seriously at first. It wasn't uncommon for Master Jin to get into trouble and get sued.

In the past, no matter what tough opponents Young Master Jin encountered, he didn't have to worry because he was under the protection of his grandfather, grandfather-in-law and father.

But now the situation has changed.

The eldest son of the Zhang family did not seem to be afraid of the power of the Jin family, and simply ignored the Jin family's small request for compensation.

Zhang Dalang was determined to seek justice for the boat girl. For a mere 100 taels of silver, he submitted two petitions and sued both the Magistrate Jin and Master Jin.

The first petition accused the governor of Jin of failing to manage his family properly and educating his children properly, and said he was unfit to be the chief official of a county.

Magistrate Jin allowed his eldest son to tease the boat girl who performed but did not sell her body, and he confused right and wrong, framed the boat girl, arrested her and put her in prison.

In addition, the Jin family knew they were in the wrong, so they not only refused to release the boat girl, but also extorted 100 taels of silver from her. The governor of Jin ordered his subordinate county magistrates not to release the boat girl unless she paid the silver.

The second complaint accused Young Master Jin of having acted recklessly for so many years under the protection of his family's power, molesting decent women and bullying ordinary people.

This time, he ignored the boat girl's resistance, molested and forced her, and he lost his balance and fell into the water, but he falsely accused the boat girl of pushing him into the water on purpose.

Every case filed against Mr. Jin in the complaint is backed by evidence and has witnesses who have personally experienced it.

Young Master Jin is the key defendant this time and he will certainly not get away with it easily.

The Jin family and his grandfather Qi Daotai all became nervous.

Because local governments are currently rectifying the administration of officials from top to bottom.

This was one of the conditions of the cooperation agreement reached between Li Ping'an and the emperor. We must start from the root of officialdom and eliminate all evil forces and bureaucratic privileges. Otherwise, we will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and we will not be able to achieve long-term social stability.

The Jin family and the Qi family were afraid that at this critical moment, both families would be implicated because of Young Master Jin's affairs.

Young Master Jin also realized the seriousness of the problem and felt extremely regretful.
