372 Fall of the Zheng clan
When the Duke came to his senses, he found that the Zheng family had already become a mess. The plants and trees that had been carefully tended withered away, the carved railings and paintings were in ruins, and shriveled corpses could be seen lying on the ground everywhere. If you look closely, the expression on the corpse's face is all terrified.
He looked at the qiē in amazement, and then returned to the vault. After he went, he found that the secret vault had already collapsed, and there was not a single living person in it, and Governor Zheng was obviously dead.
Duke Yi looked at the ruins in front of him with a gloomy face, and then, he went directly to the Zheng family's treasury. However, the Great Treasury is also in ruins, and looking at the traces, it is he who caused it, and it is clear that he has been here.
The Duke's brow couldn't help but furrow, and then his figure flashed, and he went to a few more places. These places are the treasury where the daughters-in-law of the Zheng family put their dowries, among which the dowries of Mrs. Zheng and Zhao Lixian are the most abundant, but the Duke of Ceremonies will not pay attention to such things at all.
He was holding his breath when he heard footsteps outside. There are a lot of people who listen to the voice, not like ordinary people. When the Duke flew up to the roof, he saw a group of city guards running towards the Zheng family from a distance, obviously alarmed by the Zheng family's movements!
Duke Yijue's face instantly became extremely ugly, he came to the Zheng family this time to get enough benefits from the Zheng family, for the time being, he left Jiaozhou first, avoided Shang Jinxiu's edge, and when he found a way to improve his physical condition, it was not too late to come to Jiaozhou. As a result, he came to the Zheng family, but the Zheng family's secret vault and big vault were looted by someone one step ahead of him!
Because he couldn't accept the disappearance of the thousand-year-old ginseng, he accidentally went mad and killed in the Zheng family. Now that I think about it, it is cheaper than Shang Jinxiu and Antonhua!
Thinking of Shang Jinxiu. The Duke's face changed instantly! How could he forget, he didn't know Shang Jinxiu's ability yet! He recalled a brief meeting with Shang Jinxiu. Thinking of the scene when Shang Jinxiu disappeared from front of him in the last moment, the Duke of Ceremonies finally came back to his senses - the Zheng family was ransacked by Shang Jinxiu!
This fact was so cruel that the Duke of Ceremonies was almost so angry that he went mad again. He glanced at the city guards coldly, disappeared in an instant, and fled directly with superb light skills.
At the moment when he left, the city guards knocked on the door of the Zheng family, and after knocking on the door a few times and no one answered the door, the city guards directly smashed open the door, and then. They saw the Zheng family, which was already in disarray.
At the same time, An Donghua already knew the news that the Zheng family was almost wiped out by the Duke of Honor, and when he got the news, he and Shang Jinxiu were admiring a pair of thousand-year-old mountain ginseng. This pair of old ginseng is naturally the pair collected by the Zheng family. However, the origin of these things is actually very wrong, they were originally discovered by luck by a family of ginseng pickers, who had been collecting ginseng in the mountains for a living, and hid after getting this pair of thousand-year-old ginseng. Later, a rich man bought it for a lot of money.
After that, the Zheng family didn't know how, and asked the rich man to give it, but the rich man refused. was directly wiped out by the Zheng family, not only robbed this pair of old ginseng, but also robbed all the rich family's property.
Afterwards. This pair of old ginseng has been stored in the Zheng family's secret vault. The old man regarded them as extremely precious, and it was useless to keep them. This time, I was going to give it to the Duke. It's a pity that Shang Jinxiu took the lead.
Shang Jinxiu was only concerned about collecting things at that time, and he didn't find that there were such treasures in it. It was also time for her to go back to the palace to take inventory. I found them. An Donghua was also there at that time, after all, these things were collected by the Zheng family, and Shang Jinxiu didn't think about keeping them himself, so naturally he didn't hide them from An Donghua.
The two of them admired the pair of old ginseng and were amazed, and they didn't want to hear the news that the Duke of Honor was killing people everywhere in the Zheng family! The one who came to deliver the news was Zheng Kang, who was originally staying at Zheng's house, but when he heard the movement, he quickly escaped with someone. It was also his luck that the Zheng family occupied a large area, because many people in the Zheng family all lived together, but the people in each room lived in different places.
Zheng Kang's father was originally a side line, and he was just an unfavored concubine, and his place was quite far away from Master Zheng's main courtyard, so it was easy to escape.
Zheng Kang's face was so frightened that his face was white at that time, the strength of the Duke was too terrifying, he was still far away, and he had already felt a terrifying momentum, so you can imagine what the situation was in the Zheng family's main house!
As soon as he told the matter, Shang Jinxiu and An Donghua were surprised, both of them guessed that Duke Yi was going to the Zheng family to ask for benefits, but they didn't expect that Duke Yi Jue would go crazy and kill people!
They didn't tell Zheng Kang about the ransacking of the Zheng family, but after sending Zheng Kang away, An Donghua couldn't help but ask: "Xiu'er, why do you say that Duke of Honor suddenly went crazy?" Listening to Zheng Kang's meaning, why does he seem to have gone mad? ”
Shang Jinxiu was also puzzled, she thought about it, and said uncertainly: "Is it because I ransacked the Zheng family, and he is dissatisfied that he didn't get benefits?" ”
An Donghua frowned, this is indeed a possibility, but with the ability of the Duke of Honor, the wealth accumulated in his hands is probably much more than that of the Zheng family, how could he go crazy for that little thing of the Zheng family? This also makes too much sense!
Shang Jinxiu looked at the pair of old ginseng in the box, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he couldn't help but speak: "So that's the case!" ”
Antonhua was puzzled: "What's going on?" You mean because of this pair of old ginseng? He didn't know much about the wood-based abilities, so naturally he wouldn't know the importance of a pair of thousand-year-old ginseng to the wood-based abilities.
Shang Jinxiu explained: "You remember, Duke Yi is a wood-based ability, and I said that he should have been stuck in the bottleneck for many years, and he has not advanced. ”
An Donghua nodded, and couldn't help asking, "What do you mean...... Could it be that this pair of thousand-year-old ginseng can help him advance? ”
Shang Jinxiu shook his head: "I can't say for sure that he will definitely advance when he gets this pair of thousand-year-old ginseng, but this pair of thousand-year-old ginseng must have a fatal temptation for him." He is a wood-based powerhouse, able to directly absorb the essence of plants and trees, that is, the pure power of wood, which has been for thousands of years, if he can absorb the essence contained in it, it will definitely be of great benefit to his body. ”
Anton Hua thought about it and understood. Then he muttered: "If this is the case, he must be bound to get this pair of thousand-year-old ginseng, but unfortunately this pair of old ginseng is missing, so he couldn't stand the stimulation for a while, and went directly into the devil." Speaking of this, his face changed instantly, "If that's the case, Xiu'er, will you be in danger?" ”
Shang Jinxiu laughed firmly: "If he really guessed that I did it, knowing that the thing was in my hands, he would not dare to provoke me!" But it's better to be careful lately, the Duke of Honor is a crazy man at all, this man can do anything. ”
As if to verify Shang Jinxiu's words, in the following month, a lot of things happened in Jiaozhou. First of all, the grass and trees on several hills in Jiaozhou withered directly, and then shriveled corpses appeared in various places one after another, which caused panic among the people, and the most unbearable thing was that many farmlands in Jiaozhou were directly destroyed!
At this time, it was the harvest season, and the grain in the field was ripe, and all the places were preparing for harvesting, and as a result, all the grain in the large fields withered, like grass and trees on the mountains. As a result, there was a spread of "Anton Hua is not in the way of heaven, and the news that heaven has sent down heavenly punishments".
These things were naturally done by the Duke of Ceremonies. Fortunately, he still cared about Shang Jinxiu, and did not dare to do things too ruthlessly, and did not harm the farm in Shang Jinxiu's hands, otherwise, Shang Jinxiu would probably chase him to the ends of the earth, and he would kill the Duke of Honor even if he was seriously injured!
For this reason, many places in Jiaozhou are in arrears, but fortunately, the farms in the hands of Shang Jinxiu produce a lot, and then buy some from other places, which can finally ensure the food supply in Jiaozhou.
Shang Jinxiu happened to rob the Zheng family before, so as soon as the rumors came out, An Donghua directly issued a notice that he would compensate them for their losses, which calmed down the matter. After all, what people are most concerned about is whether they can live a stable life and whether they can live. Now that they have taken the benefits of Anton Hua, they naturally regard Anton Hua as a good person, and the previous rumors will be self-defeating.
The worst thing is the Zheng family, originally An Donghua and Shang Jinxiu were still thinking about how to get rid of the Zheng family to minimize the loss, but as a result, the Duke of Honor went crazy and directly helped them solve this big problem. Almost all the men in the main house of the Zheng family died, and most of the side ones also died, except for those outside, almost all the principals of the Zheng family died.
Andonghua directly sent someone to arrest the rest of the Zheng family, and Zheng Kang was saved because he took refuge in advance and was spared from prison. At the same time, Anton-hwa sent people to take over the Zheng family's industries all over the country, especially the gold and iron mines that the Zheng family hid the deepest.
The only trouble is the gang of dead soldiers in the mine, but these people are all acting on the orders of the Zheng family, those who have different intentions have been picked out by Shang Jinxiu, and the rest are all simple wood. Shang Jinxiu erased the spiritual hints left by them in the sea of knowledge, and added a spiritual hint of "live well" to them, and these dead soldiers were almost no threat.
An Donghua did not directly kill the rest of the Zheng family, but sent all the incriminating evidence secretly collected before to the capital and handed it to the emperor for a ruling. He did this very quickly, and the emperor also intervened in it, and by the time the Zhao family knew, it would be too late!
In this way, the Zhao family was still very unwilling to overturn the case for the Zheng family. The Zhao family has become more and more arrogant in recent days by taking advantage of the power of the second prince, and this time they have united many important ministers of the court regardless of it, and jointly signed a letter to avenge the grievances of the Zheng family, but the evidence is conclusive, and the emperor wants to cut off the Zhao family, or the wings of the second prince, and support Anton Hua and the second prince Anton Li to fight each other, so naturally the Zhao family will not succeed.
The Zhao family has nothing to do, but they hate Anton Hua even more in their hearts, and they can't wait to dispose of it soon! (To be continued......)
