Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity
Chapter 309 The whole story
Old Master Sheng watched his two sons and two grandsons being tortured every day. Their health began to deteriorate day by day, and more and more charges were brought against them. Not only the old man, but the whole family was very anxious, but there was nothing they could do.
Sheng Xuan was appointed as an official because the court was in a hurry to hire people after the war. Because he did not pass the imperial examination, he had no background or connections in the officialdom. The only person he could count on was the second master of the Zheng family.
As their family was suffering in prison, they naturally could not send letters out. But Chunhua was a filial daughter, and after making some arrangements outside, she came in to see them.
Cui was just an old woman who lived in the inner house. She had little knowledge and only saw the old man, Sheng Nuo, Sheng Kai, Sheng Hong and Sheng Yuan suffering all day long. Sheng Nuo and Sheng Kai told her that they had committed a serious crime and if the second master of the Zheng family could help them, they could also save the whole family. It all depended on whether the Zheng family could do their best.
Chunhua was a filial child, so naturally she would not come to visit only once. Every time she came, Cui would instill ideas in her and ask her to find a way to rescue the whole family.
Chunhua has always been on the same page with Cui, and she blindly obeys whatever her mother says, so she whispered in the ear of Master Zheng Er, and Master Zheng Er also said that he would never sit idly by.
Sure enough, after Mr. Zheng Er made many arrangements and spent a lot of money, Sheng Nuo, Sheng Kai, Sheng Hong and Sheng Yuan were no longer punished... Soon the verdict came down, and Sheng Nuo, Sheng Kai, Sheng Hong and Sheng Yuan were to be exiled 5,000 miles away, while the others were pardoned. The money they embezzled from their families was used to appease the victims they had killed.
As for what Pang Fei and his son did, they were sentenced to death and executed immediately. Because they had collected money in the name of Sheng Nuo and Sheng Kai, no matter how bold Sheng Nuo was, he would not dare to steal from the court.
In the days that followed, if the verdict was followed, the four males in the family would just have to obey and be exiled, and the others would be released once the case was understood. But how could Sheng Nuo and Sheng Kai obey so obediently?
The two brothers agreed that they were exiled to such a faraway place, and they would never be able to return home unless the emperor granted amnesty. And Mr. Sheng and Mrs. Cui were reluctant to let their sons and grandsons go to such a faraway place to suffer. Then everyone discussed and decided that they had to let Mr. Zheng Er try harder.
The example of using gold to redeem sins has a long history. It is no secret that the Zheng family has a lot of money, otherwise Sheng Nuo would not have planned to let Chunhua marry him to pave the way for him.
Sheng Nuo and Sheng Kai kept urging Cui to tell Chunhua that Old Zheng was so old that he was buried up to his neck in the dirt. Chunhua would have to rely on her brothers and nephews in the future... The Zheng family had a lot of money, and if they made a little effort, they could get their whole family out...
"Mom, if we are really exiled, you will never see us again in this life... Who will take care of you and my dad in the future? Who will beat the spirit flags and break the pots for you..."
After Sheng Nuo and Sheng Kai's brainwashing, Cui was persuaded. When Chun Hua came to see her again, Cui cried and asked Chun Hua to ask Mr. Zheng Er to give money to Sheng Nuo, Sheng Kai, Sheng Hong and Sheng Yuan to atone for their sins.
Chunhua had always listened to Cui's words since she was a child. If her mother told her to go north, she would never go west. If she told her to chase a dog, she would never chase a chicken. So after returning home from prison, she asked Mr. Zheng Er to take out money to smooth over the relationship and redeem Sheng Nuo, Sheng Kai, Sheng Hong and Sheng Yuan.
In order to save them, Master Zheng Er spent money, worked hard, and arranged things everywhere. He was very dedicated. But he was old after all, and after running around for a few days, his body was obviously a little bit exhausted, but Chunhua was indifferent to this, and still wanted Master Zheng Er to continue to go out and arrange things, otherwise she would cry, make a fuss, or even hang herself.
In order to redeem someone, a large amount of money is naturally needed. In the past few days, Master Zheng Er has been looking for people to ask for help and raising money everywhere. These actions naturally did not escape the eyes of the clan members, and this matter naturally caused dissatisfaction among the clan members, but Master Zheng Er insisted on his own way and was determined to get this done for Chunhua.
The ransom money was collected, the relationships were smoothed out, and the government office was arranged. That day, Chunhua came in person to pick up Mr. Sheng and his family from prison. However, Mr. Zheng Er did not come that day because he fell ill due to his recent hard work.
Chunhua planned to invite her father, mother and whole family to live temporarily in Zheng's house. After all, Shengnuo is no longer the county magistrate, so the previous house is naturally uninhabitable.
Who would have thought that just as the carriage arrived at the Zheng family's door, they heard the sad news that Mr. Zheng Er had passed away.
At this time Chunhua was completely dumbfounded.
The Zheng family held a funeral for Mr. Zheng Er, and Chunhua cried very sadly. The Zheng family hated Chunhua, but they tolerated her only because they cared about Mr. Zheng Er's face when he was alive. Now that Mr. Zheng Er is dead, and he died because of Chunhua, how can the Zheng family let her go? The children and grandchildren of the Zheng family wanted to put Chunhua in the coffin and bury her with Mr. Zheng Er.
At this time, Mr. Sheng, Cui, Sheng Nuo, Sheng Kai and others were waiting outside the gate of the Zheng family, and they were obviously panicking. When they knew that the Zheng family was going to nail Chunhua into the coffin to be buried with Mr. Zheng Er, Sheng Nuo and Sheng Kai were afraid that the Zheng family would retaliate against them and send them to jail, so they took advantage of the time when the Zheng family was too busy with the funeral of Mr. Zheng Er to take care of them and fled with their whole family.
However, during the escape, one person was lost, that was Pang Xiu'e.
As for how Pang Xiu'e got lost, none of them could tell.
In this way, the whole family fled back to Shengjiatun in a miserable state.
After hearing this, Xiao Lan understood why the whole family did not return to the old house when they arrived at Shengjia Village, but gathered in front of their food shop.
"The people in the Zheng family are so vicious!" Cui cried and cursed, "They buried Chunhua alive like this, my poor Chunhua..."
Thinking of Chunhua's fate, and seeing that the two brothers Sheng Nuo and Sheng Kai have returned safe and sound, Xiao Lan couldn't help but sigh. These two brothers killed Chunhua, and also harmed the old Zheng family and even old man Zheng Er, but they were still alive and well. Now that they are back, if her family had been a little bit weaker, they would probably have suffered the same fate as them.
