Chapter 277: Cai Mansion (3)
Since the old lady Cai Hongting died for no reason seven years ago, the eldest son Cai Yuetong and the eldest grandson Cai Xueming were poisoned and died, and the stormy Cai Mansion ushered in a devastating blow five years ago.
Mrs. Zhou's only remaining sister-in-law, the second master Cai Yuechun was also suddenly stupid, and then several grandchildren also had accidents, dead and missing, and the entire Cai family completely lost adult children and grandchildren, so under Wu Jiangxiong's soft and hard work, all the properties in the house were handed over to the third son Cai Yueqiang to manage.
Of course, this does not include the dowry of Mrs. Zhou and her daughters-in-law, these properties are in the hands of their own henchmen, so Mrs. Zhou can control the entire Cai Mansion.
Mrs. Zhou's maiden family, but the wang family in southern Fujian, Wu Jiangxiong is powerful, and his power is also in eastern Fujian, and he can't reach it in southern Fujian. It was precisely because of his scruples about the power of the Zhou family that Wu Jiangxiong did not dare to go too far, and on the surface, he still wanted to give the Cai family some face.
Although there is no evidence, Mrs. Zhou knows that several lives of the Cai family are inseparable from Wu Jiangxiong.
However, if the Cai family wants to keep this family business and several young great-grandchildren, they have to make concessions and hand over the family business to their concubine Cai Yueqiang.
However, she never expected that the goal of the family was the entire Cai family's industry, the Cai family's centuries-old Hefeng Hall, and the huge property that the Cai family had purchased for future generations. And the other party's appetite is getting bigger and bigger, and he is about to empty the Cai family!
In desperation, Mrs. Zhou immediately secretly instructed the shopkeepers of various shops and granges to take the plan of drawing salaries from the bottom of the kettle, transfer the funds, and secretly hide them in her dowry shop as the last survival guarantee for her grandchildren in the future.
Fortunately, these shopkeepers are all old people who have accumulated years in Caifu, and they are all people personally brought out by the old lady, the eldest master, and the second master.
Today, Mrs. Zhou took her eldest daughter-in-law and third daughter-in-law, originally wanting to offer incense to the old lady, eldest son and tragically dead grandson in the Chenghuang Temple, but she didn't expect to cause trouble.
Looking at the posture of the Zhao Mansion, it is not a person to mess with. The Cai Mansion is at a critical juncture, and it is too late to keep a low profile at the moment, where can he provoke such a powerful opponent again? Therefore, Mrs. Zhou sincerely apologized and calmed down the matter.
Since the two daughters-in-law were in favor of settling the matter, Mrs. Zhou said to Mrs. Xie: "Check the details of the Zhao Mansion carefully, and see who the family is, so we can know it in our hearts." ”
"Yes!" Mrs. Xie replied, bowing down.
The reason why Mrs. Xie was asked to investigate was because Mrs. Xie's younger brother Xie Yunpeng was strong in martial arts, worked as an errand in the government office, and was a famous head catcher.
Xie Fu is a martial arts practitioner, but he is far away in Cangzhou, Zhili, and he can't quench his thirst from afar.
After the accident of the eldest lord Cai Yuetong, the Xie family sent Xie Yunpeng, the younger brother of Mrs. Xie.
Xie Yunpeng is a cautious person, and after he came, he did not rush to Cai's mansion to see his sister, but conducted a secret investigation. After getting the situation, knowing that Cai Mansion currently has no capital to compete with the people behind the scenes, he secretly met with his sister Xie outside the mansion, and asked a friend to find an errand in the mansion.
Because of his strong martial arts, he was soon appreciated by the chief catcher Wu Yis, and soon became an official official, so the Cai family would grasp some of the movements of the Wu Mansion in time.
Xie Yunpeng is the best person to find out the details of the Zhao Mansion, and it is best to shake hands with the Zhao Mansion. At present, Caifu should not make waves again, and it can no longer withstand the toss!
Seeing that the matter was almost discussed, Mrs. Zhou asked about the situation of her second son Cai Yuechun, and let the two daughters-in-law go back.
The subordinates in the courtyard hid far away when the masters discussed things, and no one dared to eavesdrop outside the window.
The housekeeper of Chunhui Hall, Mama Zhou, was Mrs. Zhou's dowry maid, and she stood guard outside the door when the masters were discussing things.
Seeing that the eldest lady and the second lady were leaving, he hurriedly bowed down to send the two masters: "The slave and maid send the eldest lady and the second lady!"
The other maids in the courtyard also followed Mama Zhou's example and sent off the two ladies.
The Xie family and the Wang family walked out together, and the maids and mothers-in-law of the two also followed their masters out of the Chunhui Hall.
Xie and Wang broke up at the door of Chunhui Hall, and then took the maid and mother-in-law to their Qiushui Residence, thinking about the changes in the house in recent years while walking, and couldn't help but sigh at Wang's courage.
Since the death of her husband, Mrs. Xie has handed over the control of the family and is at ease in the backyard to take care of the three grandchildren and two granddaughters left by her two sons.
Like the Wang family, she has to let people try the food of her grandchildren before they can eat it. It's just that she didn't try it herself, because she was afraid that she would have an accident, because she couldn't die yet!
Although the eldest son, Cai Xueming, died with his father, and the second son, Cai Xuekai, also disappeared, the children they left behind are still there. They are the hope of Cai Fu's future, there can be no more mistakes, and they are also her only hope for life!
Because the Wang family has to concentrate on taking care of the stupid Cai Yuechun, they can't be distracted to take care of their grandchildren.
After Cai Xuerui, the eldest son of the second room and the second young master in the house, also disappeared with Cai Xuekai for no reason, the two children he left behind were taken to the Chunhui Hall where she lived by Mrs. Zhou and taken care of them personally.
Three meals a day, clothes, shoes and socks, bedding and beds should be checked regularly by a trusted doctor. In order to prevent poisons from being adulterated with incense and flowers, it is strictly forbidden to have these things in the places where children live.
Maybe the person behind it was greedy for money, and after giving the Cai family the most severe warning, he suddenly stopped.
On the one hand, they have achieved their goal and have obtained a steady stream of financial resources from the Cai family, and on the other hand, it is the Cai Mansion that has carried out an extremely cruel purge.
After the second lady Wang took charge of the middle feed in the mansion, she cleaned everyone in the mansion. No matter who is involved, no matter how many years the old man is, how many connections and face, she was beaten to death in front of all the subordinates in the house, and she will not tolerate it!
Not only that, but their family member Wang did not relent.
The men were sold to work in underground black coal kilns, a place that they would never think of until they died. The women and children were sold to the lowest class of private prostitution, and they were the lowest class for life!
The masters of the Cai Mansion have always been generous, and they will beat the subordinates who make mistakes a few times at most and fine them for a few months, which is why the subordinates will be easily bribed and dare to murder the masters.
As soon as Wang's means came out, they immediately shocked all the minions in the mansion!
After that, even if someone really bought them again, they all refused!
The money from selling the master is not so easy to spend, and it is not good for the life of the whole family to be on the line. Money is a good thing, but it has to be spent!
