Chapter 143: Family Heritage

Mo Zhinian's face was still calm, and he waved his hand to those family members.

So the soldiers rushed up, seized their weapons, and kept them under surveillance.

Wu Zheng was actually nervous at this time, not because he was afraid that the Mo family would resist.

If you resist Wu Zheng, it will be easy, and you can directly order him to be killed.

I'm afraid that there will be a confrontation, and as soon as the confrontation is in the face, it will be a big fuss, and many people have already heard the news, and they are dodging and pointing to watch the excitement.

Wu Zheng had to hold his head high at this time and make the appearance that we were a clean official.

In order to win, it is not to lose the hearts of the people of Hangzhou.

Compared with the scope of the Mo family's area, the Mo family's gate is a little inferior.

Of course, this is still a world of difference compared to ordinary rich people.

The gatehouse is more than one zhang high, it is a white marble pile, along the street according to the main gate through the width of the masonry with the "into the corner type" to cross the street door empty, the roof ridge is piled with the color sculpture of the double phoenix Chaoyang, the flat body of the branch bucket arch is placed on the fang, the middle six black lacquer solid couch doors are about four or five inches thick, each door is placed with fine copper door nails 32 longitudinal roads, 280 road crossing, there are at least tens of thousands of pieces, it is really extraordinary.

As soon as you enter, you will see the door of the cave open.

It is also a beautifully crafted terrazzo brick carved gatehouse.

Ang, dougong and so on are all made of green bricks, and with brick tenon, the process is exquisite.

The left and right door covers are engraved with the words "De Zhengying He" and "Golden Vertical Base" respectively, and the four bats (Fu) pictures of the four bats holding longevity are engraved on the belly, the four gentlemen of Meilan Zhuju who symbolize elegance and nobility and the stories of the characters of the Three Kingdoms such as "Liu, Guan and Zhang Taoyuan Three Knots" and "Guan Yu Hanging Seal and Seal Gold".

The brick fang is carved with Fu, Lu, Shou three-star characters and the dark eight immortals, etc., and the carp jumping dragon gate carved by the lower fang is even more lifelike, symbolizing the joy of Dengke.

In front of the door, a pair of white jade stones with drums are carved with three lions playing balls.

The two black lacquered nanmu gates and the seventy-centimeter-high threshold suggest that the Mo family is illustrious.

As a rule, the door is usually not opened, and only when the family has major ceremonial events or dignitaries visit, the door is opened to show respect.

Wu Zheng didn't care about this, and went straight to the inside all the way with great vigor.

Along the way, I don't know how many octagonal doors, lattice round doors, Nanmu doors, folding doors, and I can't remember how many halls and sedan halls I have passed.

Wu Zheng sighed in his heart, Chi Erhan said that he couldn't find a way out, it turned out to be true, if Wu Zheng wanted to go out alone at this time, it was estimated that he would not be able to find the way.

What made Wu Zheng even more emotional was that the people had such a rich family, but the Ming court had no salary to raise soldiers.

Thinking of this, Wu Zheng decided to kill chickens and monkeys and raise money, and became more and more determined.

At this time, Mo Zhinian, who had been following behind him, hurried a few steps and stood at the door of the main hall, still solemnly leading each other, "Lord Wu, please!" ”

This main hall is the largest hall Wu Zheng has ever seen along the way.

It is estimated that there are at least seven or eight zhang horizontal, and more than two zhang high.

This scale must have overshadowed the main hall of the Chief Executive.

The three gilded characters on the door of the main hall - Thanksgiving Hall, made Wu Zheng laugh.

Without speaking, Wu Zheng went directly inside.

But it is not yet a place for discussion, through the crane-neck corridor, 30 floor-to-ceiling windows with more than 30 feet high span the entire bay, and the carved patterns on the mezzanine hall and skirt are implicit.

The whole furniture is made of high-quality red sandalwood, which can be called the best.

Wu Zheng was dazzled, so he simply stopped looking.

But at this time, he had already arrived in the main room of the meeting, and a landscape painting directly opposite made Wu Zheng gaze again.

Although Wu Zheng is not a person who knows how to paint.

But I've never eaten pork, so I've always seen pigs walking, right?

Strangely, the painting seems to be incomplete, only half of it.

At this time, Mo Zhinian rushed forward again, stood still half a step behind Wu Zheng, and then explained softly: "Lord Wu, this painting is called Jiufeng Xueji Map, which was made by Huang Gongwang of the former Yuan Dynasty. If adults like it, let people put it away for adults? ”

Wu Zheng was originally watching, but when he heard this, he turned around, "Old man Mo, are you really here to fight the autumn wind?" ”

Mo Zhinian's face darkened, and he bowed his head and said, "The sinners are terrified. ”

Wu Zheng sneered: "Are you still afraid? ”

"The sinners are indeed terrified. The adults came to the Mo family with the majesty of recovering the lost land, and the sinners and the family were terrified. ”

"Disappointed, huh?" Wu Zheng glanced at Mo Zhi playfully, "Disappointing that Luck Dehun led the army to leave Hangzhou, which made the troops in the city empty, and made the Ming army recover Hangzhou City in an instant, disappointed that Duoduo came to help in time, leaving time for the official to control Hangzhou City?" ”

Mo Zhinian still lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, repeating four words: "The sinners are terrified." ”

"As far as this official knows, you are not very afraid. If you are afraid, how dare you fight against the king twice? Wu Zheng didn't save face at all, and said sarcastically.

Mo Zhinian finally raised his head, "My lord, it is precisely because of the fear of the sinners that I have to dodge twice. ”

"Oh? How do you say that? Wu Zheng was aroused by Mo Zhi's curiosity.

"The Mo family is indeed guilty of defecting to the Qing army. The old man also reads the books of the sages, so he naturally understands the truth. But since it has been done, the old man does not shy away from it, and the adult has come to the door twice, and the old man knows the adult's thoughts, and the reason why he avoids it is nothing more than to save the lives of the whole family. ”

"Do you think you can save your family's life by avoiding it?"

"There are some things that the old man can't talk about with your subordinates, but only with adults."

Wu Zheng snorted coldly: "Look, this is what you call panic? Why, do you still want to talk to the official about the conditions? ”

"Yes."

Wu Zheng was stunned, but he didn't expect this old thief to really dare to respond.

Mo Zhinian said calmly: "The Mo family is rich, and everyone knows it. But apart from this house, no one knows where the Mo family's money is, and even if the six sons are old, they don't know where the Mo family's money is hidden. ”

Wu Zheng's eyes shrank, staring at Mo Zhi and said, "Are you threatening this official?" ”

"It's not a threat." Don't be obsessed with a fact, "The old man said that the reason why he avoided it was nothing more than to attract adults to come." ”

Wu Zheng understood, "What if the official doesn't talk to you about the conditions?" ”

"That can only be burned with jade, although the old decay knows that he is guilty, but if he sacrifices the family property, the whole family will still die, why should the old decay be sacrificed?"

Wu Zheng sneered: "You think so beautifully. ”

Not only did Mo obsessively feel the chill of Wu Zheng's words, but even his six sons and grandchildren also changed their faces.

Mo Zhinian forced a smile and said: "The old man is guilty, but the dozens of people in the Mo family are innocent, why don't you kill the old man and let the Mo family go?" ”

Wu Zheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Whether the Mo family is guilty or not, it's not up to you to decide." Besides, even if, as you said, these Mo family members are not traitors, they are Mo family members after all. If you follow you and enjoy the blessing of betraying your country for glory, you have to pay the price for it. ”
