She also had a day when she rolled over

Chapter 121 Little Mermaid (21)

It is expected that father also told Zheng Bo everything, otherwise he would not have explained this matter to him.So he confessed directly.

"It's true. As far as I know, this girl's ancestors were all commoners, and it is absolutely impossible for her to produce such a huge amount of pearls."

"According to her own account, she is working in a mansion, and the lady of that family gives her compensation."

Zheng Baomin stroked his beard, and asked with great interest: "Oh? Which family's lady is so rich?"

"Zheng has never heard of it."

Wei Xiaohui got up quickly, recalling the scene when she first met An Yiran, "My nephew dare not hide it, I met that lady once before. Indeed, you can tell from every gesture that she is a lady from an extraordinary family and aristocratic family. "

"Including her clothes, the materials used on her body are three points more amazing than those exclusively provided by the royal family."

"In that case, can you connect me with this young lady?"

"Although Zheng Bo said that my nephew should not refuse, that young lady is not willing to make friends with me, so I only met her a few times."

"Then which girl you mentioned just now is working in her house?"

"It's a girl from the country. She bought a house after she got her wages. My nephew just came out of there."

Zheng Baomin nodded, got up and walked up the winding path, a door was built on the bridge at the end, and after walking out, it was the dilapidated mansion again.

"Come on! Call two teams of soldiers to follow me."

Only then did Wei Xiaohui realize that being outside was just his persona.

Zheng Baomin still insisted on walking, followed by two groups of soldiers in armor, and Wei Xiaohui followed beside him.

The citizens passing by were all looking this way, seeing Zheng Baomin's dignified face, they all speculated that something big had happened.

"Look, Lord Zheng's complexion is very ugly."

Some people speculated whether the murder happened somewhere?

The courageous ones quietly followed at the back of the line, wanting to follow and have a look, but Zheng Baomin didn't send anyone to chase them away, so he acquiesced to their behavior.

Until they stopped outside the house that Luoyao bought, the door was surrounded by water, and everyone was looking inside, but still no one knew what happened.

And Luoyao, who just came back from going out to relax, walked over and saw that her house was full of people, so she pulled a person by the side of the road and asked, "Brother, what happened?"

"I don't know, I'm also here to join in the fun. All I know is that Mr. Zheng led two teams of soldiers to surround the place suddenly. Maybe the owner of this house has committed something?"

Luo Yao, who obviously hadn't done anything, was not very guilty, and with the mood that had just calmed down, now she became angry again, and she was going to go directly to argue with them why they surrounded her house.

"I am the owner of this house, why do you surround my house?"

All the townspeople outside were whispering.

"I haven't committed any crimes, there are only me and my mother at home, why are you?"

"Squeeze people away!"

Before Luoyao finished speaking, Zheng Baomin issued orders to arrest her and take her away.

"Let go of me, let me go!" She kept struggling, why couldn't she remember what wrong things she had done that deserved to be arrested by the officials.Then I thought about it, could it be that the gambler caused something?
Zheng Baomin winked at Wei Xiaohui, motioning him to bring out the people from the house, and he led a group of soldiers to go ahead.

On the high hall, Zheng Baomin sat upright.

"I want to ask you, your ancestors have been farmers for generations, where did you get the money to buy such a big house? Quickly and honestly!"

And Luoyao naturally explained according to the previous words: "I worked in someone else's house, and the lady in the house rewarded me!"

"Nonsense!" Zheng Baomin's beard was shocked.

"Do you know the value of this, it is enough for the people in the capital to pay [-]% less tax!"

Hearing this, all the onlookers were shocked. With such a huge amount, even if they entered the palace to serve, they would not be able to get so much silver taels.

At this time, what she said about working for others seemed so pale.

"Bring people up."

"Mom! My mother is not in good health, let go of my mother!"

"Now the north is in constant war, and the common people are miserable in paying their taxes. The salaries of us officials have been cut and cut again and again. Even a wealthy family like the Wei family will definitely not be able to afford such a large amount of pearls."

"Since you said that you were working for someone else, then you should take me to that man's house to have a look. Naturally, I will apologize to you."

This. Luoyao suddenly showed embarrassment.

"I know that what you said just now is to bluff me. Come here, beat them twenty boards first, and see if they recruit!"

Luo Yao quickly used her thin body to block her mother. "No, my lord! My mother is weak, let alone twenty boards, she can't bear even one board!"

"Then are you going to tell the truth?"

Luo Yao's face was ashen, and she asked: "My lord, why do you insist on seeing them?"

"My official said that the war in the north not only needs to be paid by the people in the capital, but now the national tax has been increased by [-]%, but it is far from enough to supply the northern border guards and front-line troops. If you find that person, ask them to help, even if it is borrowed by the court. This It's also for the good of the country."

Luoyao's heart was shaken even more when the national righteousness was suddenly raised.

So she stood up and walked out, and Zheng Baomin and all the people followed behind her.

It was evening at once, and everyone gathered around the seaside, without seeing any houses.

Just when everyone, including Zheng Baomin, thought that Luoyao was delaying them, Luoyao was squatting by the seaside calling someone's name.

Suddenly, the calm sea was disturbed, forming a huge vortex.And there is a shadow between the eddies that is about to jump out of the water.

Because of the enchantment, people inside can't see the palace in the deep sea, and An Yiran can't see the situation on the sea even if he doesn't come out.

She just thought it was Luo Yao who was calling her, so she jumped out of the water and lay down on the rock.

Seeing Luo Yao in front of her with tears in her eyes, she murmured: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry"

Then she saw the sea of ​​people behind Luoyao.

"What do you mean?" She questioned Luo Yao.

"I'm sorry, they threatened me with my mother. If I don't bring them, they will beat my mother. You know my mother is in poor health. She really can't stand a single blow!"

"They said that they just need some pearls to exchange for money and supplies for the soldiers on the northern border. This is also for the good of the country."

"But I don't belong to any country." An Yiran didn't want to talk to her, so she took out the pearl she was carrying and handed it to her.

"Is this enough?" As he was about to leave, he was caught by someone.
