That little fly

The rapid bankruptcy of the Zhang family is indeed shocking, but the Zhang family does not think that the family will be in a shambles.The official hat is fine, and he can make a comeback in minutes.It's a pity that for more outsiders who don't know the truth, the Zhang Mansion of the Centennial Tianren Mansion has collapsed!Everyone saw it with their own eyes.

The gentlemen were taken away by the yamen servants (Zhang Gong went to prison);

The house was ransacked (the household department is liquidating the deficit);

He was demoted to slavery (the sons of the family were sold to pay off debts);

He was deprived of his title (the plaque of the mansion was taken off, and it has been sold to pay off debts)...

Now the Zhang family has no power or power (mistake), those who have grievances start to avenge their grievances, those who have vengeance start to revenge, those who have no grievances but no vengeance, and those who want to take advantage of the opportunity to gain benefits and make troubles, all kinds of things in the world.

During the time when the Zhang family was investigated and repaid by the Ministry of Households, the Cangzhou Mansion, the Inspection Department of the Five Cities, the Ministry of Punishments, and even the Central Procuratorate were not left behind. Big and small cases related to the children of the Zhang family.Once the case is settled at the Ministry of Accounts, the deficit case will be confirmed.The cases of the children surnamed Zhang began to erupt like a volcano, ranging from bribery to abuse of power, from fraud to champerty lawsuits, from insulting widowed sister-in-law to accepting the daughter of Liang's family... All kinds of civil and criminal cases crowded the desks of legal offices at all levels. Including the children of the Zhang family who were officials, almost none of them escaped.A boy of only [-] years old was accused of a security case of 'vicious wounding'.

And no matter how many of them are real cases and how many are fishing in troubled waters, the long interrogation alone is enough to be the last straw that crushes Mrs. Zhang.Because during the trial period, according to the usual practice, officials should be temporarily suspended.At least three to five months, as long as a year and a half, if it is verified that the innocence, the reinstatement will have to wait for the vacancy documents from the Ministry of Officials.If you really committed a crime, from hard labor, to imprisonment, to exile... one year later, no one knows what the sky will be like by then.In the past, the Tianren Mansion used this disgusting method to punish others.Now that the feng shui is taking turns, dozens of officials and masters in the Zhang family are destined to have a bleak ending. This is something for later.

Before the doomed end came, the Zhang family had to pay some more interest.

Because of the help of in-laws, the Zhang clan, who had no roof and roof tiles, did not fall into Sleeping Street. The whole family moved into a small house with three entrances in Tonghua Alley. It is not in the wealthy area of ​​the upper class, but it can be considered a peaceful and peaceful middle class. ghetto.The Gao Mansion also sent a few servants to take care of them, which can be described as a rare stability after breaking up the family.

But I couldn't enjoy this kind of security for two days.Early this morning, when the concierge opened the door, he was staggered in fright: the door was dripping with blood, and there was a woman whose limbs and tendons had been cut off, paralyzed there, not to mention the filth and filth on her body, and her mouth was full of blood .The concierge knew it was not good when he saw the situation. This woman was obviously lynched and thrown at the gate of the mansion. This is the most blatant threat.The concierge was so frightened that he ran into the courtyard, looking for the master of Zhang's family, the housekeeper... Anyway, he couldn't take care of it.

Zhang Shinong slapped the table and got angry, "Shi Zilu is too deceitful!" Throwing such a dumb woman with broken arms and legs at someone's door is like pouring chicken blood on someone's door. Not to mention bad luck, this is provocation Ah, the naked threat, I can't even swallow this breath in a leisurely way.

The thin camel in the Zhang family was bigger than the horse, so the origin of this woman was quickly found out.

The maid Zheng, who used to be named Diancui, worked as a second-class girl in Zhang's mansion, but she was released to marry a small businessman surnamed Zheng more than ten years ago.After more inquiries, it was found that she had sold herself into Ningrenhou's mansion for several months.As for why the servants of Zhang's mansion turned around and sold into Ningrenhou's mansion, the master didn't mention it, and such things are not something ordinary servants can inquire about.

"Isn't he going to talk about the Fa on everything? I'd like to see what he has to say this time."

Zhang Si Nong took his famous post and submitted the case to the criminal court in an upright manner, wanting to compete with Shi Ke.It is true that the master beat and scolded the slaves who signed the contract of sale, but it was too much to kill people like this.If someone insists on suing the official, the master will not say that he will be sentenced to jail, but he will be fined on the board of the prison hall and a large amount of comfort money. No one can say that it is too heavy.The most important thing is that no big family can afford to be humiliated by this kind of lawsuit.

This case involved the Zhang Mansion, Ning Renhou Mansion and the Chief Attorney-General. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that this was a fight between great gods.However, the Yamen of Yingtian Mansion had to answer the call. When the director resolutely led some of his subordinates to Ningrenhou's mansion for questioning, Ningrenhou and Mr. Shi didn't even show up. It was Mrs. Hou who received them.Mrs. Hou Ye's attitude was unexpectedly kind, she was a well-educated and reasonable person, she just invited a few officials to drink tea, and in a few words, she took away all the responsibilities of the Ningrenhou Mansion.

"Aunt Zheng, yes, that's right, it was bought by our mansion, and she has been in the mansion for almost a year. She was originally a waiter in my son's yard, that is, to clean up the room and take care of it. thing."

"Release, we have let her go back to her hometown a long time ago... Hehehe, adults are joking, we didn't buy servants to embarrass ourselves. Her hands and feet are not clean, and her tongue is broken. As a mother, I How could it be possible to keep her in the mansion? How good would it be if I killed my son? For such a person, we can return her the deed before we drive her out, instead of selling her to some remote place, that is, Ningrenhou Mansion Generous and magnanimous. I think that everyone should praise the kindness of Ning Renhou and others."

"Oh, is that so? I don't know if she still has such an experience. After she leaves the gate of the Hou's Mansion, she will not be under our control. Or, my lord can go to Yingtian Mansion to check the household registration documents. As early as three days ago She was returned to freedom a few days ago. We don’t care where she goes. As for why she lies in front of the old master’s door, this is their grievance. Who knows what’s going on? What tricks did she do and stupidly try to frame her... These have nothing to do with the Ningrenhou Mansion."

"Yes, I know that you are also on errands, and you can't help yourself. Well, I have a few letters here, and I mentioned a few people in the letters, so I leave them all to you. It's 'theft', 'peeping' or 'spying' What, as a woman, I don't know much about it. In short, the thing is given to you, are you willing to take it as a talisman, or just settle the case, or give some favors..."

"That's right. I would like to add an extra point. In the past few days, a group of people will be released from our mansion, and the deeds will give them back their freedom. In the future, if something like 'splashing chicken blood' at the gate of the mansion happens, I'm afraid the Hou Mansion won't entertain you any more, and I hope you can understand, after all, the appearance of our Hou Mansion is not very good because of the frequent visits by the censor."

"That is, thank you for your understanding, sir."

"Where, sir, you are polite, and we didn't help much."

"Walk slowly without sending."

This farce—yes, it was a farce in the eyes of a few seasoned veterans of criminal justice—finally ended like this.

Ningrenhou's Mansion has no handle. When Zheng's wife left Ningrenhou's Mansion, someone saw it. Later, there were bright black and white letters on Yingtian Mansion's household registration documents.This matter has nothing to do with the Hou Mansion.However, Zhang's house was full of uproar, but in the end, it was anticlimactic and disgraced.No matter what they say, Mrs. Zheng's previous background alone dooms Zhang's family to be suspected of being under the sun.If this kind of thing happened in anyone's house, it would be disgusting and panic, and the motives were not pure. Who would sympathize with an insignificant woman, and who would care if she was innocent?

However, after Mrs. Hou's words to the officials were spread in the mansion, Mrs. Shui was busy for a long time, because several servants came to Mrs.'s place to express their loyalty by beating around the bush.Not everyone has expressed their loyalty, and not all those who have expressed their loyalty have sincerely changed their past.In any case, they can't change Mrs. Shui's words and deeds.

Three days later, Ningrenhou's mansion really released a group of servants, some of whom had expressed their loyalty, and some of them had not told the truth.But they went out of the mansion with good hands and feet, so many people were watching.Just one day later, some of them were thrown at the door of some mansions with broken limbs and hamstrings, hoarse throats due to hot oil, exactly like Mrs. Zheng.

Chi Lulu's intimidation continued, but no one dared to file a lawsuit against the "intentional mutilation" of Ningrenhou's mansion, and even those menaced mansions concealed themselves and silently swallowed dead cats .And Ning Renhou Mansion?The gate was silent as if nothing had happened.

This is a warning.

All those who have ever had small movements behind their backs are clearly aware of this.Some portals with deeper backgrounds even thought of the legendary "Fei Tianer's Revenge" and felt chills in their hearts.

As the last leaf on the poplar tree was blown off by the howling wind, the cases of the children of the Zhang family came to fruition one after another.

Zhang Li, who had an affair without a matchmaker, was dismissed and fined money.

Zhang Wu, found guilty of interfering with judicial champerty, was dismissed from office and placed in prison;

Zhang Yu, who hurt people in public security, was dismissed and exiled;

Zhang Ning, convicted of dereliction of duty and dismissed;

One after another, Zhang's descendants lost their official positions and never had the chance to return to the upper class. Everyone watched various cases being closed, and their hearts became colder and colder.This is dismemberment at all, like a paoding dissolving an ox, quickly and easily.And those bloody intimidation incidents in the past were as thin as autumn rain, everywhere and cold, making people chill to the bone.

In the past, the Xu family was wiped out in a thunderbolt, and the Zhang family was torn apart. Only two Heavenly Mansions remained, and they seemed to understand something.The Lin family, who had never had a great future, was even more shy, and the contact with Shi Ke was timid even when he hugged Shi Ke's thigh.They have princes in their hands. In the future, the five princes will ascend to the throne of God, flying to the sky, revenge... All they need is to ease their breath...

"Those are just some rascals in the market. They just want to take advantage of the Zhang family's power. Master Shi's legal office doesn't need to be so careful?" The head of the family invites Shi Ke to the ether garden to enjoy the autumn scenery.

Shi Ke kept walking, "The imperial code is above, and the legal office will never tolerate any false accusations, even the crime of covering up."

Gao Hou's expression changed, and he followed, "There are gods standing three feet above your head, Mr. Shi is really not afraid of doing this, is it against the harmony of heaven?"

"Think too much, everything is just the responsibility."

Gao Hou held his breath for a while, and his words softened, "The Zhang family is also ruined now, and it is impossible to continue in the imperial capital after thinking about it. In the future, it will just be a farmer... Da Si Nong, he is willing to apologize with the life of his grandson ...You should express your opinion anyway, this is not a life-and-death enmity, Zhang Sinong is the only grandson of Mingxiang, and he is still accused of a lawsuit at such a young age. Some blood ties are a family, and there is no need to kill..."

Gao Hou is negotiating conditions today, on the surface it is to save the Zhang family, the fundamental purpose is to suppress Shi Zilu's madness, if he can keep the Zhang family alive, a 'buffer zone' between them will be established .It's just that at the moment, Shi Ke seems a little out of touch.Gao Hou and Shi Ke strolled to the sparsely populated garden, standing on the stone arch bridge, no one was around, Shi Ke changed his fake face, "The Zhang family... want to die now? Are they worthy?"

"Zhang Gong's branch is from the direct line..."

"Hmph." Shi Ke almost sneered, he was all for this, and he kept holding on to his gimmick, "I don't know the so-called idiot."

"You!" Gao Hou suppressed the fire in his chest, and finally endured it. Today he came to discuss bargaining chips, not to argue with Shi Zilu. "Then you, what do you say?" Make an offer.

"Whoever dares to stretch out his hand will chop off his hand." Shi Ke stared at Gao Hou meaningfully, "I think we have made it very clear. Some people should have experienced it personally."

Gao Hou was stimulated by Shi Ke's eyes, and narrowed his eyes angrily, "Shi, Zi, Lu, don't deceive people too much! The Heavenly Mansion has been passed down for hundreds of years, don't think that you alone and your family can afford it!" Yes. You are not afraid that our Heavenly Mansion will work together to take you..."

"That's not important." Shi Ke waved his sleeves with a calm expression, "It's your business that you are willing to use Fei Tian'er's name to bluff and cheat, but you shouldn't mess with us."

Gao Hou's heart skipped a beat.What do you think you are?Gao Hou wanted to sneer like this, but when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't get them out. A timidity that he didn't even notice, stopped him.

"Master Shi..."

"Gao Hou," Shi Ke remained unmoved, "You know what I mean."

Gao Hou tried his best to keep his face expressionless, but his hands under the sleeves began to feel cold uncontrollably.Shi Zilu's cold eyes and murderous countenance reminded him of the legend of Fei Tian'er's revenge...
