Rebirth of the Evil Stepmother and the Four Villainous Children

Zhou Rongrong said, "We are from the same village, so I will speak frankly with you. I will say this: if anyone betrays me, I will not want anyone else. I will take back all the benefits of Dashan Village. It will be impossible for you to study or learn skills. I will investigate to the end. It will not be difficult for me to open a workshop. Do you understand?"

At the critical moment, it must be dealt a heavy blow. In such a situation, if you still say nothing and do nothing, it is inevitable that some people will have different ideas.

Zhou Rongrong has always fulfilled her words. These people have been working under Zhou Rongrong for a long time and they understand this very well.

If you betray your family, they will be criticized by everyone. Thinking of the hard times they had experienced before, they all expressed their loyalty.

Not only that, but I will also be more cautious and cautious about my family and co-workers around me.

After a few days, Nangong Xi didn't make any move.

Zhou Rongrong doesn't have so much time to wait for him to take action, and there is no reason for her to be on guard against thieves all day long. Since they have come to the door, wouldn't it be impolite if she didn't go there herself?

At the same time in the capital, Xie Wuyou received the letter with a smile on his face and his eyes sparkling.

"Interesting, but the Nangong family must be dealt with. This king can't wait any longer."

Not to mention that Xie An knew that the Nangong family had been under control for a long time since the previous emperor came to power, and they were like a local emperor in the south. However, the Nangong family's technology was too highly confidential.

But now we have better quality bamboo paper and printing technology. These two most important technologies are already in our hands, and the Nangong family is no longer of any use.

What’s more, there is still the account of the Nangong family who swallowed up hundreds of thousands of taels of silver during the flood in Jiangnan.

But that cannot be done easily. The Nan Fang family has been operating for hundreds of years, and they have people all over the court. If they are not careful, the whole body will be affected.

It is not easy for any dynasty to reform, not to mention that Xie Anming is already unhappy with these aristocratic families. The national treasury is empty, but the treasuries of these aristocratic families are full. Even the wealth of one family may be much richer than the private treasury of him, the emperor.

In such a situation, how could the emperor pretend not to see it?

Since this is the case today, let’s use the Nangong family as an example to scare the monkeys.

The next morning, the Dali Temple took the lead in launching an attack, digging up the case of embezzlement of disaster relief funds from the Jiangnan flood ten years ago. For a time, the Nangong family was pushed to the forefront, and the evidence was laid out, leaving the Nangong family with no room for rebuttal.

Even the fact that the younger generation oppressed the people, that the official accepted bribes, etc., were all clear.

Even the matter of the Nangong family bribing the eunuchs, palace maids, and concubines in the palace when the previous emperor was alive was dug up.

The emperor immediately issued an edict to arrest all the officials of the Nangong family in the court, and ordered people to take everyone in the family under control without waiting for the court to adjourn.

In order to prevent the relationship from being exposed, Xie Wuyou led the cavalry to Jiangnan to arrest people. His methods were swift and decisive, and he did not give them any chance to react.

The entire court was trembling, fearing that the fire would spread to them. They closed the door tightly and refused to see anyone from the Nangong family. At the same time, they reminded the people in the family not to talk nonsense.

On Nangong Wei's side, the entire yard was cordoned off, and all the people close to her were imprisoned.

Cracks finally appeared on Nangong Wei's proud face. She became very nervous and wanted to go out, but the guards blocked her way with swords.

"You, what do you want to do? Where is the prince? I want to see the prince."

The soldier was a royal guard from the palace, he dared not say anything after receiving the order but he also knew that the Nangong family was finished, facing such a delicate young lady, not to mention her first-class beauty, she spoke to you so pitifully that he even lowered his voice.

"Miss Nangong, we are just following orders. Please don't embarrass me. The prince said that you can't leave even a step, otherwise you don't have to stay in this yard and will go straight to prison. Please go into the house."

The maids and servants who were watching the fun were murmuring to each other.

"She deserves it. She is not a lady of a rich family."

"She's not just looking up to the sky. She never has a good face towards us. Last time I served her some food, she took a bite and accidentally got scalded. She poured the whole bowl directly at me. I can't even touch water with my arm now. It hurts so much."

"Oh, that's right. It's the people around her who are all like this. That nanny is simply too much. She even needs our people to serve her. She keeps saying that her daughter will become a princess in the future. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, I've never seen such a shameless daughter."

Someone snorted, "That's right. How could our prince, who loves his soldiers like his own sons, fall for such a domineering lady? Have you seen our prince after living here for so long? Now that she's in trouble, her attitude has improved. She talks to the military commander like that. Tsk tsk tsk tsk."

Seeing the little maids mumbling to each other, the housekeeper stepped forward and said, "Go away, go away, you guys are going to die if you keep gossiping here, go away."

The maids were so frightened that they ran away in a swarm.

The housekeeper also followed Xie Wuyou out of the palace and has served him for more than ten years. There is no need to talk about the friendship between master and servant.

He took one look at the yard and rolled his eyes.

"How can someone with such a character and family be worthy of our prince, bah."

Nangong Wei relied on her relationship with Xie Wuyou to suppress her sisters at home, and her family doted on her, which made her arrogant.

He never had a good face towards his subordinates, let alone the other maids and servants in the palace. When he saw a beautiful maid, he was afraid that she would seduce Xie Wuyou and trip him up openly or secretly.

Before, the housekeeper was able to suppress the maids from talking nonsense and told them to just watch and not cause any conflict. That was because she knew that such a woman could never become a princess. Just looking at the prince's attitude, it was absolutely impossible.

Inside the house, Nangong Wei was extremely anxious. The current situation must have meant that something had happened at home, otherwise it would be impossible for people from the palace to surround her yard.

But she had no idea what was going on, like a headless fly, confused.

The reason why he was able to live in the palace was because of the exchange of information.

When Xie Anming was competing for the throne, Wang's uncle Xie Yunqi. People forgot his name and walked to the end of the water, sitting and watching the clouds rise. He was a man of clear wind and bright moon.

But after all, Qingfeng Jiuyue is a member of the royal family. The changes in the royal family make it impossible for Xie Yunqi to be a person who doesn't care about anything else and only cares about romance.

He joined the army fighting for the throne and argued for Xie Anming, which angered the late emperor, who directly ordered the confiscation of property and killing of people. However, it was also because of Xie Yunqi's words that the late emperor did not dare to easily appoint a prince, giving Xie Anming a chance to breathe.

But because of this, Xie Yunqi's entire family was beheaded, except for Xie Yunqi's great-grandson, a boy, who was replaced by Xie Anming using a trick.

But in order to avoid letting the late emperor notice, he didn't dare to contact or look for her. He could only let his most trusted subordinate at the time, Li Yong, take the child and escape far away.

But so many years have passed, and no one knows whether the child is dead or alive, let alone where the child is. All that is left is the jade pendant on which he personally carved the child's small words.

The news that Nangong Wei brought was related to the child. For the exchange, the Nangong family used their caravan to inquire around and finally found out Li Yong's whereabouts. However, only Li Yong's whereabouts finally appeared in Zhao County. However, it also means that the child might be in Zhao County.

Xie Anming could only send people to look for it secretly, but there was no news. Fortunately, the scope was narrowed.
