I Made a Fortune by Marrying a Sick Girl! - Chapter 386
Chapter 386 The family’s disaster
To be honest, Wang Shilang was frightened by what happened at the court meeting.
He would not have believed Zhang Shilang’s matter without Qin Chi’s handwriting. Otherwise, how could it be that when they were trying to show off Qin Chi, Shi Lang Zhang would get into big trouble during this period?
This is too much of a coincidence.
I am used to the intrigues in the officialdom, and I have long since disbelieved that such a coincidence exists in the world.
Wang Shilang also received the news.
Emperor Cheng of the Ming Dynasty summoned Qin Chi after the court meeting and invited Qin Chi to eat.
This is a favor that many ministers do not have. It makes people think, could Qin Chi really be the bloodline of Emperor Ming Cheng? If this rumor is true, then…
If the Zhang family was involved in the investigation by the Jin Yiwei, Wang Shilang could predict the fate of the Zhang family, and Zhang Shilang’s official career would most likely come to an end.
Shilang Wang hopes he behaves better now.
Let Qin Chi put aside the past grudges.
Qin Chi looked at Wang Shilang with a faint look, paused for a moment and then said: “Master Wang, there is nothing to be nervous about. We are all ministers of the Great Xia Dynasty. As long as we can do our duty well, it will be fine.”
Wang Shilang understood.
This tells him to keep to himself, right?
Therefore, Wang Shilang nodded and bowed, “Yes, yes, I will definitely do my job well.”
Normally speaking, this behavior of being arrogant and respectful is very shameful. It’s just that they are the only two here, and Wang Shilang doesn’t feel too embarrassed. As long as Qin Chi can feel his sincerity, not to mention making him nod and bow, or making him kneel down and kowtow.
Qin Chi did not embarrass Wang Shilang.
The next thing to do is all business.
However, with the help of Wang Shilang, Qin Chi handled official affairs much more smoothly. At the same time, Qin Chi finally stepped into the archives warehouse where important documents are stored.
This news seemed to have wings and flew to Zhang Shilang’s ears.
Mr. Zhang had no time to care and was rushing to his family.
Not only did they want the family to deal with those illegal businesses, but they also urgently wanted to find out why Jifang was suppressed. From the mouth of his confidant Chang Sui, he learned that it was the clan leader’s intention to **** Jifang’s business.
Zhang Shilang was furious.
Just then, Patriarch Zhang led someone into the house.
He hit the visitor with a tea bowl.
“Stupid old guy, who gave you the courage to choose this moment to suppress Ji Fang? Don’t you know that Ji Fang has just caught His Majesty’s eyes? That feeling of curiosity has not passed, and you are causing trouble for me?!” Zhang The waiter couldn’t hold back his anger and yelled.
The leader of the Zhang family hurried over in a hurry. He was pointed at his nose and scolded before he knew what was going on. He immediately turned cold and said, “Zhang Zhilu, as an official, you don’t take the leader of the clan seriously?”
Zhang Shilang was so angry that the veins on his forehead jumped out, and his resentment overwhelmed his reason, “I struggled in the officialdom, trying my best to climb up, and finally got to where I am today. Even if my family didn’t help me, I still have to die. It’s holding me back. I just helped you deal with the trouble before. How much trouble will it cause this time? “
“You are a child of the Zhang family, so you are so resentful for making some contribution to the family? Doesn’t the money earned by the family go to your house every year?”
Patriarch Zhang was also so angry that he blew his beard and stared.
Several clan elders on the side also became dissatisfied with Zhang Shilang. They accused Zhang Shilang one by one and tried their best to take advantage of him.
Zhang Shilang sneered, “The Zhang family’s death is imminent. When the day comes that the family will be confiscated and exterminated, I will wait to see your faces.”
“What, what do you mean?” The elder of the Zhang family suddenly became speechless.
They had received a message saying that it was a matter of life and death for the Zhang family and they were asked to come over to discuss it. But when Shilang Zhang saw them, he scolded them and even dared to throw a tea bowl at the clan leader.
I was so angry that I forgot about the real thing.
Zhang Shilang said cheerfully: “The Jin Yiwei will soon find out who is responsible for the Zhang family. Just wait for your death.”
After serving as an official for many years, Zhang Shilang did not dare to say that his hands were clean. Not to mention how many shady things he had done for the family, the bribes he accepted alone were enough to kill him several times.
Qin Qian is really cruel.
His Majesty was originally hesitant to minimize the big deal, but Qin Qi’an wanted to get involved.
When Minister Zhang told what happened at today’s court meeting, the head of the Zhang family suddenly looked extremely ugly. He sent away the others and asked them to try their best to clean up things at home, leaving Zhang Shilang alone.
At this time, Patriarch Zhang did not bother about Minister Zhang’s disrespect, “Now I can only go to one person for help.”
“Uncle, who should I ask for?”
Zhang Shilang’s pupils shrank.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Zhang Shilang’s grandfather was the second in line of succession. Chief Zhang was his uncle and the person who truly controlled the family.
After about half an hour.
Zhang Shilang followed Clan Chief Zhang out of the city.
I went to a village belonging to the Zhang family in the suburbs. This is the ancestral property of the Zhang family. Zhuangzi, the two mountains behind it, and the large lake next to it are all the territory of the Zhang family. Therefore, when Minister Zhang cried about poverty in the court, it was actually a joke in the eyes of those who knew about it.
Not long after.
Zhang Shilang saw a man wearing a mask, and sitting next to him was an elegant scholar holding a feather fan.
Patriarch Zhang saluted respectfully and said eagerly: “Master, please save the Zhang family!”
The masked man asked: “What happened?”
“Today at the court meeting, the prefect of Huai’an handed over a memorial, saying that our Zhang family suppressed Jifang and were suspected of being spies from other countries. His Majesty asked the Jin Yiwei to investigate the matter.” Chief Zhang said while kowtowing.
Before the man in the first place could speak, Chief Zhang hurriedly explained, “We didn’t suppress Jifang. Didn’t the master say that he wanted to hoard a batch of medicinal materials? The subordinates did not dare to neglect at all, and immediately asked the younger members of the clan to get started. Someone among them may have robbed Jifang of some business.”
Patriarch Zhang originally thought that this was not a big deal. Isn’t it normal for people to rob each other when doing business?
It was said above that we should stock up on medicinal materials as much as possible.
The Zhang family’s previous business did not involve medicinal materials, but suddenly they had to get involved. It was almost impossible to complete the task in a short time through normal channels. In this process, some unfair means cannot be avoided. Jifang has the best resources in the industry, so conflicts are inevitable.
The Zhang family not only robbed Jifang’s medicinal materials, but also robbed other small vendors, anyone who was easy to bully.
Mr. Yan suddenly asked: “You said Jin Yiwei wants to investigate this matter? Are you going to investigate the Zhang family as well?”
“Yes, yes!” Patriarch Zhang replied tremblingly.
As if struck by lightning, Mr. Zhang looked fixedly at Mr. Yan. When Emperor Cheng of the Ming Dynasty ascended the throne, he was still studying in the Imperial College. He was very familiar with the rumors about the banquet in Jiangnan, and he had met him several times at the banquet.
Later, after the death of the late prince, Yan Jiangnan disappeared, and gradually no one mentioned him again.
Thinking of Patriarch Zhang calling the first male lord, he was suddenly shocked and his hands and feet were numb.
This grave crime of confiscating a family and exterminating a clan has been confirmed…
