Chapter 151: Freedom
"I heard that Zheng Taishou just recently received a small amount of money, tens of thousands of taels."
Through the conversation with "Aunt Yan", I learned that the underground forces in each place had to pay a sum of money to the local administrator, called filial piety money, and they also paid it again on Bird and Flower Island.
This is an unspoken rule that officialdom can't say, and Liu Wen is also receiving, but not as much as Zheng Taishou.
The red-clothed building is also being handed over, handed over to the leaders above, and then handed over to the county government.
As for Qing Shui, the county order is now an ornament, and no one will pay him protection money.
Otherwise, how could Liu Wen have the money to support women, and how much money could he have? Can you feed a large family?
"Vertical Zier dare!"
"It was the third prince's side before, but if it is the second prince's turn, I believe the third prince will definitely be ruthless."
Zhao Ming is stating the fact that if the third prince has a chance to retaliate, he will decide to kill him.
Zheng Taishou sneered: "Shaft, you said that I took bribes, but what evidence do you have?" β
"Evidence? The Zheng Mansion is quite big, and it cost a lot of money. β
"Old man, this is an ancestral house, passed down from the ancestors!"
"Oh, the ancestral house, Zheng Taishou turned out to be a township official!"
Officialdom is taboo, and it is not allowed to be an official in the township.
"You ......"
Zhao Ming asked very curiously: "Dare to ask how Lord Zheng did it, is it His Majesty's permission?" β
At the beginning, I spent some money, and I was transferred to Linhai after leaving the relationship, and I managed the family power well and made friends everywhere.
Zheng Taishou threatened: "Aren't you afraid that I will arrest you in prison?" β
"Of course I'm afraid, but you're even more afraid that I'll completely fall to the side of the third prince, and you won't be able to catch me."
Zheng Taishou has a headache, this Zhao Ming looks young, why is it so difficult.
Zheng Taishou compromised and said, "What do you want." β
It's better to deal with smart people.
"I want you to let Liu Yu's mother and son out of the Zheng Mansion."
"You're ordering the old man!"
"No, it's a request."
"Why should I promise you?"
"I have an account book in my hand, which records your protection fees, Bird and Flower Island paid 10,000 taels last year, Linhai special industry paid 100,000 taels, Zheng Taishou should also hand over a lot to the second prince.
As long as these things are reported to His Majesty, I don't know if the second prince has anything to do, but the Zheng family is definitely finished. β
After Zhao Ming finished speaking, he looked at Zheng Taishou quietly, he would definitely make the right choice.
"Liu Yu can, but Zheng Yao is the blood of my Zheng family, absolutely not."
"Master Zheng, can you bear to let Yaoyao be separated from her mother at a young age?"
"This is already my biggest concession, besides, Liu Yu has married into my Zheng family, which has nothing to do with the Liu family, and you are still surnamed Zhao now, what do you care?"
"I thought it could be resolved peacefully, why do I have to do this, it would be bad if Lord Zheng provoked a popular uprising."
Zheng Taishou sneered: "I am prosperous and stable under my rule, how can there be any popular uprising?" β
Zheng Jie has done a lot of good things, how would the victim's family feel if they found out what happened to their daughter?
Maybe they will attack the Taishou Mansion together, or go to Jinyang to complain together, no matter what, your Zheng family is done playing. β
The more Zheng Taishou listened, the more frightened he became, this Zhao Ming was simply a demon, each of them would not make him feel better, the first few ways to deal with it were the most vicious.
If there is a civil uprising, the whole family will be implicated, and the second prince will quickly dissociate himself from my Zheng family.
That bastard won't make Lao Tzu feel better if he dies, and he will wipe your ass.
"Okay, the old man promises you that Liu Yu's mother and son will go to Zhao Mansion to live temporarily for a few years."
Zhao Ming knew that the so-called "temporary residence" was the old guy's statement to save face, and he didn't correct it.
"Can Zhao Gongzi have a marriage match?"
Zhao Ming complained silently in his heart, we were-for-tat just now, but now we are asking me if I have a marriage match.
Sure enough, my skin is still not thick enough, not shameless enough.
"Zhao Gongzi, the old man has a daughter who is still waiting to be in the boudoir, and Zhao Gongzi is a talented woman."
My daughter is not bad for this one, if this kid becomes my son-in-law, can he still run away?
"I'm sorry, I already have a fiancΓ©e, Tianshui Shi's family."
"It's okay, it's okay to be a concubine."
The daughter born to a concubine is not important, and being a concubine is not a grievance.
"Forgive me!"
Sure enough, I'm still not shameless enough to give my daughter to someone else as a concubine, is this my father?
"Okay, the housekeeper will take Zhao Gongzi to the back house and let him pick people up."
After everyone left, Zheng Taishou suddenly said to the shadows: "How about the strength of those three with swords?" β
"My lord, two seven-grade and one six-grade, and there are traces of the teaching of famous teachers, it is definitely not when Yeluzi, killing them will lead to their master, the gains outweigh the losses."
Zheng Taishou sighed: "No wonder, you are so confident, you are still old, forget it this time, I will let you go."
By the way, I'll solve the trouble left by Jerle later, be clean, I don't want anyone to sue me tomorrow. β
The shadow vanished as soon as it was commanded.
"Yaoyao, my uncle came to see you again, are you happy?"
Zhao Ming seemed to like Yaoyao very much, and teased her as soon as he came.
It's just that the little girl didn't pay attention to him, and still hid behind Liu Yu inch by inch.
Liu Yu was also very worried when she saw her daughter like this, what should she do in the future, and said softly: "Yaoyao call her uncle quickly"
The little girl reluctantly said, "Uncle, is good." β
This uncle was good, which made Zhao Ming very happy.
"Little San, are you here this time?"
Zhao Ming said truthfully: "I'm going back to Qingshui, and I'm going to pick up your mother and daughter!" β
Liu Yu smiled bitterly: "This is as easy as it is, I am the daughter-in-law of the Zheng family, as long as I can take Yaoyao away." β
"It's very easy, Lord Zheng is very talkative, he agreed, let your mother and daughter go to Qingshui with me to live in Qingshui for a few years."
I also want to laugh in my heart, Lord Zheng is indeed very good at talking, but the young master is you who are constantly threatening Lord Zheng, otherwise it would not be like this.
Liu was a little unconvinced, and asked the housekeeper who followed behind Zhao Ming, and asked, "Steward Hai, did my father-in-law really say that?" β
"Yes, the lord agrees that you will go to Qingshui to live for a few years."
Liu Yu asked incredulously, "Little San, how did you do it?" β
"It's to reason with Lord Zheng, and Lord Zheng is also a reasonable person."
Liu Yu said gratefully: "Okay, thank you Xiaosan this time." β
Since you don't want to talk about it, then I won't ask.
But thank you so much, I was going to force them to the death to force them to agree.
Steward Hai: I have never seen such a brazen person, obviously threatening the master, but actually speaking reasonable.
The end is shameless.
However, the mother and daughter should be able to live a good life, and the lady doesn't like them, and the treatment is much worse.
"Little San, when are you leaving?"
"Let's do it today!"
"Autumn leaf peony, let's pack our things."
