Chapter 160: Turning in the Nest

Seeing that the New Year is about to turn over, there will be such a thing, which no one expected.

It can be said that the whole town has been a sensation, especially when the house is raided, and it is full of people outside. At this time, the weather was very cold, the hands and feet were cold, not to mention, the cold wind knife was blowing on the face, which was called a hot pain.

But even so, on the day of the raid, the outside of Zheng's mansion was surrounded by a lively crowd. This was the case from morning to afternoon, and many people didn't leave to eat at noon, and they kept watching.

The house is over, you think it's over? Don't be funny.

Such a big thing, how can it be so easy to pass. Now it's when you step out of the hospital, and sometimes you hear the voices of people talking outside before you even step out.

In fact, no one would have thought that at first, it could be said that it was shocking, and everyone who didn't know how to do the government suddenly copied the Zheng family.

The Zheng family, as the richest person in the town now, and the official family behind them, can be said to be the head snake here. This family is naturally very rich, boxes of gold and silver jewelry, one by one antiques, calligraphy and paintings and other valuables have been moved out, the number is staggering, it is really eye-opening.

This raided the family, and after counting it, it was found that the Zheng family's accounts were far from correct. It can be said that the business that Zheng'er Bajing is doing is only enough for the operation and expenses of the Zheng Mansion.

That is to say, the accounts on the surface are completely inconsistent with those things copied out by the copyist, far exceeding.

In fact, there will be some shady accounts in business more or less, and if they are not shaken out, everyone will turn a blind eye, or they will pretend not to know and cannot see. But shake it out, then there is no way, you can only do things according to the law.

Especially if you bump into someone who needs to make some achievements and move up one level in the coming year, it must be dead.

Just like the current Zheng family, none of them escaped.

The main wave of people were locked up together, and the others were judged on the extent of their involvement, and of course these others were some unrelated people in the house. Don't think about the side branches, whether you are involved or not, you will be affected by the people of the main lineage.

said that the people who came to the Zheng family still didn't know what was going on now, and they were all arrested inexplicably. When they came in, no one interrogated them, and no one cared about them, and they inquired with the officials who delivered the food, but they ignored them.

The old lady sat on the bed with a long face. She was still wearing the clothes of her birthday, graceful and luxurious, except that because she didn't sleep well, her face looked a little worse, but her momentum was still there.

Next to the old lady, Zheng, the head of the family all stood, as if they had been reprimanded. Sometimes it looks a little funny, but it's still like this at this time, what should I say?

"Eat, eat." The jailers brought rice and vegetable buckets and placed them outside the cell, so that they could fetch their own food through the cracks in the bars.

The Zheng family has been treated like this over the years, and at the beginning, they were so angry that no one ate it. The jailer who had come to collect the bowl glanced at it, sneered, and left.

It's just that I can be hard at first, and after two or three hungry meals, I start to feel a little unbearable. In fact, the second meal was so hungry that the old lady didn't move, and the others didn't dare to move.

Not now, I don't know how long I will be here, and no one cares, what if I don't eat or drink, and starve to death. When a person dies, there is really nothing. "And prison meals are not three meals a day, or you can eat them if you want. It's just twice a day, and after that, you're hungry, and no one will pay attention to you.

It was the jailer who brought the meal over, and a few people glanced at the old lady, and then slowly moved their footsteps.

The prison chef makes a world of difference, and it is not even as good as home-cooked food. Putting aside the past, who eats this? Now it is, I don't have to pick. If you don't eat, you'll starve, it's as simple and rude as that.

"Old lady, eat some." The first bowl of rice was brought to the old lady.

The old lady glanced at them and snorted heavily: "You can eat if you want, my wife is starving to death, and she won't eat these pig food." ”

In one sentence, the person holding the bowl was so angry that he turned around and left, okay, you are hard, if you have the ability, you will starve to death and don't eat.

The old lady's words made a few people who originally wanted to go over to eat, but in the end, they still had accumulated power for a long time, and few people dared to disobey her easily.

Of course, except for Rong Yun, she walked straight to the bucket and added two bowls of rice, one bowl of her own, and the other bowl for who it was self-evident.

The old lady saw that it was another mockery, saying that Jizi was low, and she only deserved to eat these.

was hesitant to take it, but when he heard this, Zheng Yufeng took the bowl without saying a word and said: "In previous years, insect plagues, locust plagues, and droughts were eaten by insects in order to survive." Now there are vegetables and food still served there. Ants are still greedy for life, let alone people. I can't be as open as others before I live and die, and I still have decades to live, so I don't want to miss here. ”

After that, he transferred the rice in his hand to his mother-in-law, and then went to add a bowl by himself. Eat it in a big bite. His mother looked at it here, looked at it, and finally chose to eat.

Yes, the old lady won't eat if she doesn't eat, anyway, she's already seventy years old and can live for a few years. What is the difference between dying a few years earlier and dying a few years later.

But what about them, they still have decades to live, wouldn't it be a pity to be here together for life.

Originally, because of the old lady's face, the people who didn't dare to go listened to these words, and when they saw that Zheng Yufeng and the others were eating, and even some had already added a second bowl, they couldn't help it and moved their steps to join in.

My life is gone, and I still care about what I do.

There were several people in this go, and there were not many people in a cell, but when they left, only Zheng Feng and Zheng Yu and his wife were left in front of the old lady in an instant.

This made the old lady very angry: "After raising it for so long, you have raised you white-eyed wolves who have no interest, it is very good, it is very good!"

Zheng Yufeng rolled his eyes when he heard this, turned his back and continued to eat his own.

These people don't have much status in the Zheng Mansion, and they are the masters in the real sense if they are really favored.

When the hour came, the jailer came to collect the bowls. This take-away means that today's last meal is gone, and you can't eat any more, and you can only go hungry.

The jailer was just about to leave, but Zheng Feng suddenly walked over and called people softly.

"What for?" The jailer looked at him impatiently with the bucket.

The guards of the cell are the most crooked. Something must have happened when you entered here, and there are really very few people who can turn over. Therefore, there is no need to be pleasant to deal with this kind of person at all.

"Official, I want to ask you something." As he spoke, Zheng Feng took out a silver ingot and handed it over through the cracks.

Generally, the jailer is crooked and unreasonable, but he is also open-minded about money. In this regard, the other officers and soldiers, the jailer's monthly silver is small, as long as it is not a particularly big matter for them, such as giving some money to inquire about something, they will not refuse.

But today, the jailer's eyes lit up as he looked at the silver, but then it went out. I saw him glaring at Zheng Feng viciously: "What are you doing, do you want to kill Lao Tzu?" With that, the man angrily carried the bucket and left.

Zheng Fengshou returned the silver, returned to the old lady with a bad face, shook his head at them and said that the other party did not accept the silver, I was afraid that this matter would be difficult to do.

I don't know what's going on, I don't know what I'm saying here, I can't ask about anything, there's no way, I feel like I'm waiting for death.

The old lady nodded: "Wait, there will always be a knot."

The words fell but no one echoed them, but seeing Zheng Yu's brows, he frowned: "I'm just a little worried that things are too sudden, and it makes me feel as if I am waiting on purpose." I don't know who it is, I'm afraid that the other party will have a backhand. Now we're trapped here, scared ......"

Trapped here, it's useless to see what tricks to dismantle, nothing to deal with, nothing can be done, and you don't know what's going on outside. If the other party does something, they are powerless to fight, which is what he fears the most.

The old lady's face sank: "Look at your little bit of talent, how did I teach you you you have forgotten, remember not to be dry." I still don't believe it, and I've locked us up here without interrogation. As long as you can get out, then there is a way to do it. ”

Zheng Yu's face was full of confusion when he heard this, and in the end, he sighed and echoed on his face, but he couldn't stop worrying in his heart. No one knows the situation of the Zheng family better than him, and if something is really discovered, the Zheng family will be completely finished.

The old lady didn't know these things, but her eyes were so vicious, and when she looked at Zheng Yu's expression, she guessed that it was difficult to solve the matter.

There can be a few clean hands in business, which was the case in the past when the old man was there. However, because it is the in-laws who are in charge of the official house, the big things are suppressed, as long as the finishing touches are done well, no one will find out and know.

She told Zheng to stabilize and not scare herself. There was nothing to do, but it turned out to be a mistake for him.

"I know." Zheng Yu's expression straightened, and it thought in its heart that those things were all stored and hidden by themselves, and generally speaking, no one would find them.

It's a pity that Zheng didn't know that the Zheng family's house had been raided, and it had been turned over while they were talking. It can be said that it has turned upside down, and even the thatched house has not been let go. All the things he had hidden were searched, and none of them were missed.

At this time, because of dinner, they were divided into two sides in the small cell. On the one hand, the old lady led the death to save face, and on the other hand, Zheng Yufeng was the leader. Each on both sides occupies a corner of the cell, and it is clearly distinguished. I don't know that the world has been turned upside down outside.

After the searcher handed over the things found in Zheng's study, the governor was furious when he saw it, and slammed his eyes on the table with a bang: "Good Zheng, good Liu Ping, very good!"
