The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 464 Jujube
General Zhang had no intention of planning before acting; a small village was not worth his time and effort.

He just wanted to confirm whether Princess Yongchang or her descendants really lived in this village.

Not long after the group was brought to the Zheng family's residence, the other subordinates followed closely behind, quickly surrounding the Zheng family's residence from the outside.

They also stopped those who wanted to report the incident.

Master Zheng and his entourage were completely unaware of this.

"Did you find news about her?" Madam Zheng asked, her tone unfriendly as she looked at the group of people who had entered.

Although these people were simply dressed, they had sharp eyes and were clearly not ordinary people.

Who are they?

Madam Zheng narrowed her eyes. Could it be bandits trying to sneak in and rob us?
Since Master Zheng had already left, the people here would naturally have to listen to her.

Madam Zheng then said to the steward, "Arrest them!"

The butler thought he had misheard: "Madam, this is inappropriate, they—"

"Are you senile? Do you really think they're here to provide information?" Madam Zheng scolded the steward sternly, then said to the servants around her, "These are all people in disguise. Are you really blind to let just anyone in!"

General Zhang's heart skipped a beat, thinking that in such a remote and impoverished place, there could be such a sharp-eyed woman.

My initial doubts have largely dissipated.

The descendants of Princess Yongchang must be extraordinary and have discerning eyes.

Before General Zhang could even show his joy, he heard the woman speak again: "Are you deaf? Quickly arrest them, beat them to death with sticks, and throw them out to feed the dogs!"

This time, even Lord Liu couldn't sit still.

"You audacious woman, do you know who we are? Who gave you permission to use such vigilante justice?!"

Upon hearing this, Madam Zheng became even more certain that they were thieves, and even if they weren't, she absolutely could not let them go.

Having already offended someone, one can only continue to offend them to the end.

Anyway, her brother is the magistrate of Cangshan County, so it doesn't matter if he kills someone.

Master Zheng had barely lain down in his room when, in his hazy state, a servant burst through the door in a panic. He stumbled to the floor, his face pale, and cried, "Master, something terrible has happened! Madam has been arrested!"

Master Zheng sat up abruptly: "What!"

When Master Zheng went to the front hall, he heard a series of wailing and howling, all of which were his wives and concubines crying.

Isn't that disheveled woman at the very front his wife?
Looking again, he saw a group of strangers surrounding his house, the man in front of him carrying—

"Zao'er?" Master Zheng could no longer remain calm. "Who are you? Put my child down immediately, and I will forgive and forget!"

General Zhang asked coldly, "So you're the owner of this place?"

Master Zheng: "Exactly."

General Zhang ordered his men, "Seize him! Notify the magistrate of this area to come see me today!"

In Dachang, civil and military officials did not interact, but a higher-ranking official could easily dominate someone else.

Although General Zhang was a seventh-rank military officer, the magistrate of Cangshan County was a low-ranking official who had been demoted for a crime. He was originally a seventh-rank official, but was only a ninth-rank official, a truly insignificant position.

Moreover, Lord Liu, who accompanied them on this trip, is a sixth-rank official.

With the Duke of Anguo's mansion above him, he had no choice but to take sides.

Therefore, he was more than capable of managing the county magistrate.

Master Zheng knew that his brother-in-law was the county magistrate, which was the source of his wife's arrogance.

But now that the lady is in this state, she must have already used the title of county magistrate.

Does it not work anymore?

"You'd better hope this child has no other identity, otherwise none of you will escape!" General Zhang said coldly, looking at them.

The child in her arms had his eyes closed, and his once plump and healthy body was now emaciated.
