Chapter 218: Confiscating the house
Tianxiang Tower!
Looking into the distance, Shen Ning always felt that something had happened again.
The people on the street seemed a little restless.
"Madam, the uncle is here."
Sure enough, Jia Zhen was running upstairs in big strides.
"Mother!" He waved his hands to the maids, watched them go down, and then said: "Prince Jing's Mansion has found the dragon robe, and Prince Kang's Mansion and others also have their own secret rooms."
Jia Zhen was convinced. Not only were these men brave, but they also didn't know how to restrain themselves. "Not only that, the imperial army was just dispatched and they also captured the Zheng Yushi family who impeached our family."
"Zheng Liang? Is he the one who got promoted and got rich and killed his wife?"
Shen Ning looked at Jia Zhen.
"Yes!"
Jia Zhen didn't expect that her mother didn't care about the person who found the dragon robe, but she paid attention to Zheng Liang, "Son, remember, you asked Xing'er to spread the word about his promotion and fortune and the death of his wife, right?"
Shen Ning: "..."
It was she who asked Xing'er to spread it, but only after checking it.
Zheng Liang really disgusted her.
In modern times, she had read a lot of farming articles, in which there were many favored scholars, including Zheng Liang.
He had a talent for reading, so he was praised by his grandparents, parents, and uncles. For him, the Zheng family sold their land and even sold a daughter. Finally, he was able to read and passed the exam.
Maybe he also knew that it was not easy to go to Beijing to take the exam. On the third day after passing the exam, he married the daughter of a wealthy businessman in the county.
There is no problem in changing families by getting someone else's dowry. After all, each family has its own needs.
However, he passed the Jinshi examination and his wife died in childbirth within a month, so he married the daughter of a wealthy businessman in the provincial capital because the child had no one to take care of him.
Only two years after he entered the Hanlin Academy and became an official, his second wife died in childbirth again. With the daughter left by the other party, the Zheng family obtained a large dowry from the other party.
Then he married the daughter of a scholar.
Successfully transferred from Hanlin to censor, and from then on he was like a reincarnation of a saint, advocating that women without talents are virtuous, advocating that a woman should not serve two husbands, Princess Baofeng died so miserably, he spoke for the Cheng family, Jia Ku and After returning home, he impeached Jia She and Jia Lian again, as if he wanted to put an end to injustice in the world.
Hum~
If Jia Jing's name wasn't a bit sensitive in the court, and she didn't have a royal decree at the time, when she took over Jia Jing's private house, this person would have impeached her in the court.
It seems that Zheng Liang called out the most fierce woman in the world first.
He is so enthusiastic about other people's family affairs and talks about sages, why don't he look at himself?
He took care of his parents, uncles and brothers, but that was drinking other people's blood.
Maybe he was afraid that others would say something bad about him, and even his nephew could follow him to Beijing. The children he gave birth to through his first two wives were still cultivating several acres of thin farmland in his hometown.
"Is Xinger Communication Wrong?"
Shen Ning stood in the sunshine, "Tell me, what is his crime?"
"Kill your wife!"
ah?
Shen Ning was shocked.
Although she had long suspected that the other party took advantage of difficult childbirth to kill his two wives, she never thought...
"Has it been found out?"
"Yes!" Jia Zhen said: "His previous two wives were killed by the Zheng family through the hands of Po Wen."
"Well done, Your Majesty."
According to her investigation, among the brothers and nephews that Zheng Liang brought to Beijing from his hometown, few were engaged in human affairs.
The former peasants are now very successful and have one or more concubines.
Where does their money come from?
"You just said that the dragon robe was found in Prince Jing's Mansion?"
"Yes!"
King Jing is finished.
Jia Zhen said: "The meeting has not ended yet, and we may be discussing the punishment of those princes."
Fortunately, their family is not involved with any royal palace.
Uncle Xifu was so powerful back then, and none of the four aunts was married to the royal family.
"In addition, the Shi family of the Duke of Tui State was also raided."
Shi family?
Shen Ning vaguely remembered that in the late period of Red Mansion, there was a stone fool who was taken away by Jia Yucun to please Jia She because of a few family fans. In the end, the Jia family was charged with an extra crime because of those fans.
"The Shi family and Prince Jin are brothers-in-law, and his wife and Princess Jin are cousins. It is said that what happened yesterday, the Shi family was also transferred by a small note from Prince Jin."
Jia Zhen sighed, "Mother, it is rumored that King Jin has disappeared and has not been found so far. You said he..."
"Stop it, you don't have to think about it or worry about it."
Shen Ning said: "This is something that the emperor and the adults in the court should worry about."
"...I'm just telling you."
"Okay, then let me ask you, if one day you are among a group of beggars and see who is King Jin, what will you do?"
That Mr. Liu played a big game of chess.
He should have some grudges against the royal family.
This grudge cannot be solved by simply killing people.
Sometimes, life is more difficult than death.
There is no guarantee that he will not let the aloof King Jin become a beggar who cannot speak or write and must beg to survive.
"...I pretended not to see it!"
Jia Zhen felt that her mother was having a whim, "Maybe she would buy some food and give it to the beggar next to him, but she just wouldn't give it to him."
Here the mother and son were talking, and over there Dong Xiaoquan went down to court.
At this time, he was walking a little awkwardly.
These two days have been so tiring.
Now it's good, except for King Jin, everyone who should be arrested has been arrested.
Climbing into the car, he closed his eyes and passed away on the spot.
The missing Mr. Liu and King Jin are hard to find.
But in Dong Xiaoquan's eyes, it is no longer particularly important.
In the next month, countless people will be unlucky, from the court to the local government.
He has no time to think about anything else now. He needs to take a good rest to deal with the fierce battles that will follow.
It was not far from the Imperial City to Shuntian Mansion. As soon as the carriage stopped, he woke up in a daze.
"My lord!"
Mr. Lu hurried over, "My subordinates have found out Mr. Liu's real name."
oh?
Dong Xiaoquan suddenly woke up, "What's your name?"
"Liu Yuan!"
Mr. Lu arrested the head and said: "Ten years ago, he went to Beijing to take the exam. In the end, he disappeared before even entering the exam room. Later..."
"Is this the person the prince asked us to help investigate?"
"Yes!"
Mr. Lu nodded heavily.
Dong Xiaoquan suddenly understood, "It's him? That's no wonder."
He still remembered that family of three.
Shuntian Mansion has files on their reports.
After he became the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, he even dug up old cases when investigating them. Later, the prince asked someone to say hello. He checked again and found no clues. However, a family of three who had entered the prince's residence would come to ask questions every three months.
Dong Xiaoquan was particularly impressed.
Until Liu Fengyi gave birth to a pair of twins, she still didn't forget this place.
What a pity...
"Let someone check the cemetery where the prince is located and see who has come to worship in recent years!"
The Liu family has been looking for Liu Yuan. Liu Yuan was controlled by the King of Jin and should have never known about the affairs of the family. When he found out, his parents, sister and two nephews were all burned to death with the prince.
If it were him, it would be Liu Yuan...
Dong Xiaoquan was in a complicated mood and said: "Let me ask you again, except for the family of three who died with the prince, has anyone investigated the case of Liu Yuan's disappearance?"
Liu Yuan was freed. When he checked his home, he found that all his family members were gone. Maybe he would follow their footsteps.
And they came to Beijing just to find him, so reporting the case to Shuntian Mansion was the first priority.
Dong Xiaoquan wanted to take this opportunity to learn more about Liu Yuan.
If you're lucky, you can find clues about him, even better.
……
At the same time, Jia Mu also learned about everything outside from Lin Zhixiao.
"Old lady, this is a letter from the Zhen family in Jinling." Wang Xifeng handed over the letter she just received.
"..."
Jia Mu was very upset.
When Yuanchun entered the palace, the Jia family went to Zhen's family as a New Year's gift, and they always gave generous gifts.
The letters exchanged between the two families seemed harmonious, but how did Concubine Zhen treat her Yuanchun?
Letter now...
"If you don't read it, you won't have to interact with the Zhen family... in the future."
In the past, the emperor seemed to have a good temper, but today he has almost wiped out all the princes' palaces.
Not even the Shi family of Duke Jian escaped, and the Jia family... finally escaped, but they can't go any higher.
"Tell the concierge that if anyone comes to the Zhen family, they will not be seen."
This big family cannot be ruined because of the Zhen family.
This book was recently updated in ##六@@九@@书@@!! Updated!
Fortunately, it was Concubine Zhen who couldn't help them first.
"There is no need to report to me anymore."
"Yes!"
How could Wang Xifeng be inappropriate?
Everyone in the house is learning the Dazhao Rules. Sometimes if they don't understand something, she will call her second sister Yingchun home and ask her to explain it.
The Zhen family is definitely in trouble.
Not only King Jin, but the Zhen family themselves also had huge problems.
Back then, the Zhen family picked up drivers the most often, but so far, their family has not paid back the money.
The Emperor is fine, the Emperor doesn't care. The Emperor is like this now... It's strange that the Emperor spared the Zhen family.
She would feel more at ease if she broke off the relationship earlier.
"Mother!" Jia Min served her mother a cup of tea, "I'm afraid that Princess Zhen won't be able to escape. Even the Prince of Nan'an... I'm afraid she will be implicated in some way."
Concubine Nan'an also has the surname Zhen.
"Oh, we just need to live in our own home."
When the Jia family was in trouble, no one came to help.
Everyone is face-saving.
Jia Mu waved her hand away from drinking tea and leaned on the couch, "I've been busy these past two days. Girl Feng, how are you doing with your second uncle and second aunt?"
"I asked Longer to take a look and he said it was fine."
"That cow..."
"There are also kind-hearted people in the village. They also feel sorry for the cows. There are two kind-hearted people in particular who teach the second aunt at home how to urinate and poop for the cows."
"..."
"..."
Jia Ku covered the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief.
At this time, everyone understood that the main reason was that people in the village felt sorry for Niu.
Yes, it's a cow.
For farmers, cattle are the backbone of their business.
They were afraid that they would not see the cow being ruined.
"...What is your second aunt doing?"
"Do it!"
"..."
The old lady expressed doubts, but with so many maids and women in front of her, she couldn't ask too detailed questions, so she said: "What about your second uncle? Does he still write couplets? Has he ever sold one of his couplets?"
"Second uncle... is writing, but isn't there chaos in the capital these two days? Those things are not easy to sell in the village."
Wang Xifeng said hesitantly: "I heard from Long'er that the village chief carried two kilograms of millet and exchanged it for some blessing characters and a good harvest."
Long'er meant that the second master gave too much.
But it was hard for her to say this to the old lady.
After all, the ink, paper and inkstone were borrowed from the clan's money.
That money must be repaid.
If those people were exchanging couplets with millet, corn, etc., it would be ugly to not be able to pay back the money after three months.
"Oh, it would be nice if I could change something."
The old lady never expected that after raising her second son like a jewel for so many years, he would have to worry about repaying the debt for just one tael of silver.
"Write more, and when the Spring Festival is slow, I can sell some more and I should be able to collect the money to return to the clan."
Twenty taels of silver. Many times, a dish of hers cost more than two taels of silver.
"By the way, how are their injuries? Did the two of them quarrel again?"
At this time, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang were quarreling fiercely.
When Wang made porridge, it turned out to be mushy.
In addition, when he went to serve the porridge, he saw a large puddle of feces that the old cow had pooped, and Jia Zheng vomited all of a sudden.
He couldn't stand it anymore, he felt that this woman was abusing him.
"If you don't return the cow, you will sleep with the cow from now on."
Jia Zheng no longer wanted to sleep with this woman, "Wang Wanyun, why didn't I realize before that you are so disgusting and useless?"
"...It's too late to find out now."
Mrs. Wang is not afraid of what this powerful foreigner can do at all, "This house is not only for you, but also for me. It's hard to get the old cow now, but when spring comes, we can borrow it in exchange for work, and that acre of land will be easy to use." On the pine tree, otherwise, will you farm the land, or will I farm the land?”
It is impossible for the Jia family to subsidize them with food anymore.
She couldn't count on the Wang family.
Ms. Wang is now desperate to rely on herself.
"Instead of thinking about my cow, you might as well think about how to sell your couplets!"
The Chinese New Year is in ten days.
In fact, it is a bit late to make couplets now.
"You can't sell it. That one tael of silver was borrowed by you personally and has nothing to do with me."
After being beaten, the clan hired a doctor, but she and Jia Zheng only spent one tael of silver together. Moreover, Jia Zheng's old injury was more serious than hers. To be honest, the same person who carried one tael of silver Debt, she still suffered a loss.
"If you think I didn't do a good job, you can do it yourself in the future. We will divide the food and each will burn his own."
"You you..."
Jia Zheng was going to be mad at her.
He just said one word, and this woman had so much to pay back to him.
As expected, only women and villains are difficult to raise.
"The cattle in the clan are not just for you."
If there weren't people watching the fun outside, and if he hadn't been concerned about Yuanchun and Zhuer, he would have taken action earlier. "If you want to touch half of my cows, you have to cook for me."
A gentleman is far away from the kitchen.
He would never cook for himself.
"Ne~"
Mrs. Wang sent a bowl of black porridge to him, "I can only cook this for the time being. If you want to eat it, then eat it. I didn't say not to let you eat it."
Jia Zheng: "..."
He walked away bitterly.
It's almost Chinese New Year, so the city gates shouldn't be closed, but they were closed yesterday.
Jia Zheng suspected that something had happened in Jingli.
When something happened in Beijing, it was usually a big deal. He didn't dare to inquire. Today, he specially carried two kilograms of millet and asked the village chief to take a look. Unfortunately, the village chief hasn't come back yet.
Jia Zheng was very worried, fearing that the village chief would be detained in Beijing, or that he had...
"Mr. Jia~"
The voice he wanted to hear came from outside the door, and Jia Zheng hurried out.
"Oh, I'm back, you don't know!"
The village chief gasped and looked embarrassed, "The emperor ransacked many princes' homes today!"
In fact, his eyes were really open today, and he was lucky enough to pick up a golden melon seed. Because of the golden melon seed, he followed the army that ransacked the house and ran away without leaving his family behind. Now he is tired...
