Dawn was just breaking when Teng Tianhan was informed by his trusted steward about the catastrophe at the Jia Family. It was already widely known that the Jia father and son were haunted by a vindictive soul, one dead and the other crippled. Hearing this, the common people were elated, claiming it was retribution, considering Jia Zhen's numerous misdeeds and the countless people he had harmed both openly and secretly.
Landlord Jia was no exception, having used his wealth to curry favor with powerful officials and swallowed up the livelihoods of many small businesses, pushing countless people to desperation and leaving them with no ground to stand on.
Now, hearing about the drastic change in the Jia Family, people were clapping their hands and cheering, feeling that justice had been done by heaven.
"They even splashed dung on the outer wall of the Jia house, it stinks across three streets," the steward said, covering his nose as he spoke.
