Chapter 192 The Zhen family was copied
The great victory in the South China Sea was a major event that shocked the whole country. The emperor issued an order to congratulate it, and the people in the capital cheered endlessly.However, the aristocratic family headed by Nan'an Palace is not in a difficult situation.The emperor was indifferent to the king of Nan'an County. This attitude made many officials understand that the Nan'an Palace has become a thing of the past.

Photographed by the emperor's thunderbolt method, the officials are all serious about their work, for fear of being caught.Those aristocratic families with ulterior motives, knowing that the emperor would not let them go easily, began to arrange their way out one after another.

The old lady of Zhen's family is the emperor's wet nurse. She has warded off disasters for the emperor and has won the respect of the emperor.After the emperor came to power, the Zhen family began to prosper, and then the Zhen family had a noble concubine, and the limelight was unparalleled.The rise of the Zhen family not only encroached on the interests of many aristocratic families, but also coerced them into participating in the struggle for the throne.Of course, those aristocratic families may not all be coerced by the Zhen family, and some want to speculate.They form cliques for selfish interests and run rampant, making life difficult for the people in the south of the Yangtze River.

The emperor said this time that he would thoroughly investigate the Zhen family, and those speculative families reported one after another.The imperial envoys quickly collected the evidence of the Zhen family's crimes, together with Lin Ruhai's evidence that the Zhen family embezzled Jiangnan's salt tax and was short of money from the Weaving Yamen, these were enough to bring the Zhen family to an end.

When the imperial envoy reported the evidence of the Zhen family to the emperor, no one in the court would dare to intercede for the Zhen family.The emperor ordered the imperial envoys to arrest all the people involved in the case of the Zhen family, confiscate the family property, and escort them to the capital for trial.

Before the imperial envoy arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, the Zhen family had already arranged for a retreat, which was also a common practice of the aristocratic family.

The steward of the Zhen family arrived in the capital with several boats of belongings.Taking advantage of the night, I plan to send it to the family friend's family, in case the family can rise again.The aristocratic family in the capital knew the emperor's temperament too well, so he was a person who didn't rub the sand in his eyes.The matter of the Zhen family is too involved, and many people avoid seeing the Zhen family.Only Mrs. Wang of Rongguo Mansion met the housekeeper of the Zhen family in private.

"Ma'am, our wife said that these funds are temporarily stored in Jia's house, and someone will be sent to collect them after a while."

Mrs. Wang turned the prayer beads in her hand, turning faster and faster, and it took a lot of strength to hide the greed in her expression, and said: "Go back and tell your wife that our two families are family friends, and our family used to be with you. We have saved some belongings, we will remember this love. You can rest assured that I will keep these belongings myself.”

Housekeeper Zhen thought how Mrs. Wang was also the biological mother of Concubine Xiande, and no official would dare to find out about her, so she confidently handed over all the belongings she had brought to Mrs. Wang.

Although Mrs. Wang kept it secret, in a home full of loopholes like Jia's, she couldn't hide it from anyone. The two housekeepers, Wang Xifeng and Xue Baochai, got the news very quickly.However, the attitudes of the two are different.

Xue Baochai had no hope for Jia Baoyu, but he didn't think that Jia's house would be raided, at most, the second room would be kicked out after Jia's mother left.Mrs. Wang was relieved after collecting so much money.The cost of Jia's mansion is too high, especially the cost of the second room. Jia Baoyu alone is almost half of the cost of the whole mansion.Only half of Xue Baochai's dowry was pawned to barely maintain the operation of the mansion.Who would have thought that the eldest lady of the royal merchant Xue's family had to rely on pawns to live, and she couldn't go to her own pawn shop.

But Xue Baochai obviously thought too much, how could Mrs. Wang take out the money.It's not that she knows that the money can't be collected, but that she doesn't care about the life and death of the people in the mansion at all.

As for Wang Xifeng, after hearing the news, she was extremely envious.The Zhen family carried too many belongings, so Mrs. Wang vacated a warehouse specially for this reason.With so much money, she still can't really be tempted.If it wasn't for the sake of the Wang family's face, she and Madam Wang would have been torn apart long ago, and she would have to find a way to get some of the money out of Madam Wang's mouth.

When Jia Lian came back, Wang Xifeng told Mrs. Wang about collecting money out of jealousy.

Jia Lian suddenly couldn't sit still: "Why don't you stop me."

Wang Xifeng said angrily: "The Zhen family is an old relative of our family, how can I stop it, you pawn so much money, can I not be tempted?"

"Where did the old relatives come from? The old relatives of the Zhen family are old ladies and wives. What does it have to do with us?"

Wang Xifeng heard that Jia Lian's tone was wrong, and asked, "Second Lord, what's the matter. Isn't it that the Zhen family didn't send the silver to us?"

Yinzi, at this moment his life is lost, Jia Lian can't wait to slap Wang Xifeng a few times when he still thinks about Yinzi.

"Why do you think the Zhen family sent the silver to our house? Let me tell you, the Zhen family is finished, and now the Zhen family is being searched by Jiangnan. The money is all stolen money, and the house will be ransacked if you hide the stolen money. "

"No way, the old lady of the Zhen family is the emperor's wet nurse."

"You also said that the old lady of the Zhen family is the emperor's wet nurse, so what does she have to do with the emperor?"

Wang Xifeng stopped talking, of course she understood the truth.

"Second Master, our mother is a noble concubine. The emperor will probably let our family go on the ground of his mother."

Jia Lian said: "Madam, have you ever seen a noble concubine's house, where the eunuchs came to ask for money every now and then. Since our family sealed the empress, we have spent a lot of money, but look at what the empress brought to our family. .Aside from those worthless things that the empress gave during the festivals, what else? We didn’t get any of those little things.”

Speaking of this, Wang Xifeng also hated it.She worked hard for the family's family villa, but in the end, there were no rewards at all during the festivals, not even Qiaojieer, a junior.Except for a few inconspicuous things received by Yingchun, no one in Dafang has ever seen a gift from the empress.At first, she thought it was the empress who wanted to overwhelm the big room, but when Jia Lian said that suddenly, Wang Xifeng murmured in her heart.

"Second Master, in this case, we might as well not have conferred a concubine, at least we can save a lot of money. However, isn't our concubine a noble concubine? The emperor doesn't give any face."

"What face is there for you? Didn't you see that the second uncle is still a fifth-rank official? In the past, the second uncle always asked me to run errands. Now I wish I could be ignored."

Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "That's not because the master has been an official for most of his life, he is not as good as a junior like you."

Jia Lian said: "Look, the second uncle has been a fifth-rank official for a lifetime. Our mother has been a noble concubine for several years, and the emperor has not rewarded him at all."

Now Wang Xifeng really couldn't sit still. Not only did Jia Zheng not get promoted, he didn't even have any power at all.Look at Jia Lian, a fifth-rank official, who doesn't stay at home all day and is so busy that he is so busy.If he hadn't known that he was going to the Yamen, Wang Xifenghai would have thought that Jia Lian was raising a young child outside.But Jia Zheng, the fifth-rank official, used to go to the yamen to make an order, but now he doesn't have the opportunity to go to the yamen. He just stays at home and chats with Qing Ke all day long.You must know that Jia Zheng is not only the father of the empress, but also the father of the princess.

"Second Master, what should we do? Our brother Mao is still young, so we can't be implicated by this matter."

Jia Lian put on his shoes hastily, and said, "What else can I do? I'll go find Uncle Lin, and hope that the emperor will show mercy to us because of Uncle Lin."
