Chapter 145 Plundering Property
Seeing that the status of the master was rising day by day, the descendants of the Li family were quite pleased. Without the support of a strong mother's family, Wanning can still win a place in the Gao family, which is what they hope for the most.
But after a long time, Li Yan and Uncle Zhong began to worry. What they were worried about was not Wanning, but the people living in the courtyard of Gaofu, and they gradually felt that it was inappropriate for the Li family's subordinates to live in Gaofu. At that time, I just wanted to take a break from moving in, but now I should find another place. Although they are just following Yu Wanning, they don't want to send people under the fence.
They know very well that they are different from Master Wanning, the young master wants the young lady alone, and it is also for the sake of the young lady's face that the Gao family has a place for them. But this is not a long-term solution, it can be in a short time, and after a long time, the people of the Gao family will definitely have a whisper, and the Li family and the whole family eat and drink in the Gao family for nothing.
If you don't get it right, it will affect the young lady, and the master finally found support, but he can't lose his happiness because of a group of subordinates.
Of course, the two of them and their respective teams are still loyal to the Li family, and it is precisely because of this that they hesitated, and they did not leave Wanning, and they did not leave the Gao family. I don't want to be absorbed by the Gao family, so I can only do odd jobs to make up for the expenses in the Gao family and make ends meet.
Uncle Zhong understands Wanning's situation, after all, she did not marry into the Gao family justifiably, and she had to take out silver taels from time to time to supplement expenses, so that she could live more steadily in the Gao family.
But the silver taels that were secretly brought out from the Li family were too little, and they couldn't withstand the flowers at all.
At the moment, scratching the silver is the most important thing. Uncle Zhong thought that in addition to real estate, the Li family also had a lot of properties, shops, and transactions everywhere. Although it is said that all property is confiscated, Uncle Zhong is clear about how much property the Li family originally had, and how many places that may have been missed during the raid.
The income of these places has no problem supporting the face and confidence of Wanning's master in the Gao family. He took a chance and tried his luck in the rest of the place. However, he didn't want to leave behind some places that he couldn't keep.
So Uncle Zhong went everywhere to collect rents as before. I don't know if I don't accept it, but when I collect it, even Uncle Zhong, a middle-aged man who has experienced a lot of worldly things, was startled. Not only is almost all the assets of the Li family no longer surnamed Li, but all of them have been transferred to the name of the master of the Gao family.
Doesn't the holy decree say that the property will be confiscated? But now all of them have become private property in the name of the Gao family. Is the property redistributed, or is it a wave of Lord Gao's authority that took away everything that originally belonged to Wanning's master?
In any case, it is a fact that all the property now belongs to the Gao family. If the Gao family really cares about the relationship with the Li family, they will not leave a way back for Master Wan so much, presumably the latter is more likely.
What's more, as soon as Mr. Li leaves, the tea will be cold, where does the love come from? The most important point is that the Li family's property is a private bill, and the master of the Gao family may be clear.
At first, he didn't believe this fact, he didn't believe that the master of the Gao family would treat the Li family like this, and he would treat Miss Wanning who lost her parents like this. After repeated verification and questioning on the spot, he was no longer willing to accept it, but it has become a fact.
There is also the old mansion of the Li family, he ran to the original Li family's mansion and found that there were no officers and soldiers guarding it.
Because he was a housekeeper, when Li Zhenghang was alive, he had a lot of contact with some officials, and he got acquainted with some. He asked a few, and the Li family's house had indeed become a private house a long time ago, and the seal had long since expired, and the reason why it was still pasted on the door was just for show.
Going back to the bottom of the matter, the ancestral house of the Li family was also assigned to the name of the master of the Gao family.
As he expected.
Although it was a bad thing, he knew that he couldn't hide it from Miss Wanning, she had the right to know.
Uncle Zhong was really reluctant to tell Wan Ning the news, the master was already very pitiful, she was only left with Young Master Gao, and it was the young master's father who took the property of the Li family. And now, the young lady finally has something to rely on, and the Gao family has accepted her. Although there is no ceremony, she can be said to be half the master of the Gao family.
If you tell Wan Ning about this at this time, won't everything you get will be lost? However, Uncle Zhong understands Wanning's temper and leads a large family to eat and live in Gao's house, and Miss knows that this is the case, she will definitely be angry.
Having said that, maybe the Gao family is also looking at the Li family's property, so they are better to Miss.
After hesitating for two days, he finally decided to tell Wan Ning the bad news.
He knew that the Gao family had many eyes and ears, so he asked Wanning to be under a big tree not far from Gao's mansion. It happened to be in the hot afternoon, and the Gao family's subordinates were lazy, and at the same time, they also let the young lady come out to relax.
Looking at Wan Ning, who was kept in the dark and was a little brisk in her gestures, Uncle Zhong really couldn't bear to speak. After some inner tugging, he finally decided to say it: "Miss, the old slave has a few words to tell you." ”
"Uncle Zhong, what can't be said in the mansion, and you still have to come out?" Before Uncle Zhong could answer, Wan Ning couldn't wait to ask, "How are you doing these days?" After all, I'm not in the same yard now, so I can't see each other every day, and it's my fault that I don't have time to see you. ”
"Miss, I'm sorry."
"What's that? You are all my family. Wan Ning saw Uncle Zhong's sad face, and asked suspiciously, "Uncle Zhong, what's wrong with you?" Also, what do you have to tell me? ”
Uncle Zhong said in a hurry: "Miss...... Miss, I'm afraid...... Our lack of silver will not change anytime soon. ”
As the saying goes, "a skinny camel is bigger than a horse", Wan Ning knew that although the Li family had been raided, she had collected some assets from the corners and corners, and it should be enough to deal with the situation, so she immediately wondered: "Why?" ”
"The little one originally expected to scratch the scattered silver taels from some of the transactions of our Li family that they couldn't seek, in order to make a living for you, Miss, but now these don't belong to us."
Wan Ning looked at him even more suspiciously: "Since you can't find it, why can't you find it?" ”
"Miss, the old slave said, you have to hold on!" Uncle Zhong glanced at Wan Ning, who was looking straight at him, and quickly moved his eyes away, "The old slave has personally inspected everywhere, and almost all of our Li family's old mansions, fields, shops, and even some unknown private properties have been assigned to Lord Gao Junming's name. ”
"You mean uncle?"
"Exactly."
Wan Ning was stunned. It took a long time for her to regain her thoughts.
She thought that there would be people who would worry about everything about the Li family. Unexpectedly, it was his father who was the most jealous in the face of the Li family's property! No wonder his life in the Gao family is getting better and better, no wonder the Gao family is powerful...... When his father was here, the total amount of the Li family's property was no less than that of the Gao family.
But Wanning remembered the holy decree again: "The order to raid the house was issued by the emperor, how can my uncle divert the public for private?" ”
"This is also what the old slave can't figure out. However, the old slave felt that maybe it was a black-box operation, and it might not be the so-called 'confiscation of family property', but just a banner. ”
