Starting from the world of Joy of Life

Chapter 87 So, let’s do it
"It's your mother's clan."

After Fan Xian finished speaking, Ye Zheng frowned deeply.

This is nothing. At worst, they will open the ancestral hall again and expel people again.

The second brother took great pains to control him.

Not afraid of offending him at all!

That’s right, the second one is crazy too!
"I think that the three of us were fooled by Xie Bian. He didn't even have the chance to explain the severity of the situation to you before he asked you to cripple us." Fan Xian said.

Ye Zheng shook his head. "It's nothing. Whether Xie Bian said it or not, didn't the second brother set up this game a long time ago?"

"So what do you think?" Fan Xian took a half step forward.

"Take the certificate and come over to explain it clearly. I have prepared a sample for him, he should be able to learn from it." Ye Zheng said indifferently.

Fan Xian lowered his voice and said, "He is the grandson of the head of the Cui family in Kyoto, and the nephew of your mother."

"In that case, my uncle should really thank me. A noble family has a prostitute. If this gets out, people will laugh at him!"

"Besides, my eldest uncle has four sons, and I still don't know which grandson you are talking about."

Fan Xian: "…"

"You are so cruel. There are not only your Ye family and Cui family here, but also some princes and nobles from Shangshu Lane." As he said this, his face darkened.

……

That night
Rong'an Street, Cui's
"Go get the family law. I'm going to beat this evil creature to death!"

Ye Zheng's uncle, Cui Wen, is a typical scholar to anyone who sees him for the first time. He has a strong scholarly air, is well-maintained, and has a beautiful beard that is neither too long nor too short.

But at this moment, he was furious and a little out of control.

It is said that generations apart are close to each other. It is rare for a grandfather to get so angry with his grandson.

"Father-in-law, father-in-law, Jiaer was just confused for a moment. So many dukes and princes have joined in, and it was Prince Jing who took the lead, so Jiaer was moved." A woman knelt on the ground, protecting a boy of about eleven or twelve in her arms.

"Wait, sister-in-law, you said that Prince Jing took the lead and Prince Jing also invested?" Ye Zheng grasped the key point and took out a stack of papers from his robe sleeve.

It is naturally not a good idea to hand over the information from the Inspection Institute directly to him, but my uncle can tell him about it, and it will be very easy for him to investigate.

The woman was silent, her eyes flickering and a little annoyed.

He was angry at Ye Zheng and also at those who deceived his son.

"No, maybe someone is using the name of Prince Jing to deceive Jiaer, sister-in-law?" Ye Zheng cooperated with the performance.

He had already obtained all the information about Baoyue Tower.

The woman's little pearls fell one after another, "Father-in-law, Jia'er is young and can't stand being teased. He made a mistake. Please forgive him this time. I will strictly control him and discipline him severely in the future. He will never do it again. He is your grandson."

Cui Wen's gaze couldn't help but slow down.

Seeing this, Ye Zheng glanced at his mother who was drinking tea calmly, and stood up and said, "Uncle, I have heard that a thousand-mile embankment can be destroyed by a hole made by an ant, and a hundred-foot-high room can be burned by a spark of fire."

"When it comes to family business, we must be extremely careful and prevent problems before they become serious. If you move firewood after your house has burned down, buy a pot after your boat has drowned, or seek wormwood after your illness has developed, even if you try your best, it will be too late."

With people like my eldest uncle, he can talk nonsense and say anything he wants; but with people like my eldest uncle, he doesn't feel anything unless they write something literary.

"Uncle, I asked my mother to come tonight to let you know. I will come again tomorrow to tell my grandfather about this matter. If you can't make up your mind, and if my grandfather can't make up his mind, then forget it and just think that my mother and I are worrying unnecessarily."

Ye Zheng's words attracted the attention of his three cousins ​​in the hall, who couldn't help but frown.

Cui Wen paused and looked at his sister Cui Yan.

Cui Yan didn't look at him, and said to his youngest son, "If you have anything else, tell me all at once."

Ye Zheng hesitated for a moment, stood up, and said, "Uncle, cousins, I am not being arrogant or disrespectful to my elders, but it is better to explain some things as soon as possible."

"The Cui family in Jiangnan has been separated from our family for eight hundred years. In the past, even if we offered sacrifices to our ancestors, we could not burn incense in the same incense burner. He is a big businessman in Jiangnan and makes a lot of money. It has nothing to do with our family." "If someone in his family pretends to be a fellow clan member and wants to get our family to do business together, I think it's better to be cautious. He has the support of a noble person. What kind of business would he not dare to try? We have the support of a noble person?"

"That's all I have to say. Uncle, cousins, please think carefully and make wise judgments."

After saying that, Cui Yan said goodbye to Cui Wen and led Ye Zheng away.

...

on carriage

"Mother." Seeing that his mother didn't look well, Ye Zheng called out worriedly.

"Nothing." Cui Yan shook his head gently, and after a moment of silence, he continued, "This is how aristocratic families are. There are few outstanding ones, and few mediocre ones. Most of them are ruiners. The Cui family is considered to have a strict family tradition. Otherwise, if it were a noble family, it would not have stayed in Kyoto for so many years."

"When your grandfather was young, he was a straight-forward person, much more upright than you. When I heard about your official career, I even told your father in private that you resembled your grandfather a lot."

"When your grandfather takes over the position of head of the family, he will punish any evil deeds in the family, and teach the children to be very disciplined and behave in moderation. Your uncle is not just talking about beating Jiaer to death with family law today, but... everyone is like this. Who would feel pain if the stick doesn't hit them? Let's see what your grandfather will do tomorrow."

Ye Zheng felt more at ease after hearing his mother's words.

"When you mentioned the matter of the Cui family in Jiangnan, I'm afraid you weren't just mentioning it to your uncle?" Cui Yan said suddenly.

Ye Zheng looked at his mother and smiled flatteringly, "Mother is truly a man of unparalleled wisdom and strategy. If you were a man, you could also make a name for yourself in the court."

"You are good at flattering people." Cui Yan smiled.

……

The next day
The old man of the Cui family personally opened the ancestral hall and kicked his great-grandson out of the family tree.

The cruelty of his "hero's regret" was so frightening that even those who knew the inside story could hear it.

Afterwards, most people in Kyoto praised his family's strict traditions, and several military heroes came to propose marriage.

...

After midday

Fan Mansion, Flower Hall

"My mother took me to Shangshu Lane and went door to door to tell everyone that only my mother's family, Duke Liu's, beat someone up, and that was all they did." Fan Xian said, looking at Ye Zheng with envy.

What a good father and mother, paternal and maternal clan!
"They only hold a small share. The two people from my father's and mother's families took the majority. He obviously wants to drag my family down with him. How could I give him a chance?" Ye Zheng said in a deep voice.

Just then, Wang Qinian, Deng Ziyue, Zhongli and Wen Di, led by servants, entered the flower hall one after another.

"Sir, all the evidence is ready."

"Five petitions from victims, and the confessions of the women who were forced to sign the indentures."

"We also got confessions from the thugs at Baoyue Tower."

"It is involved in six of the murders, and the criminal has been caught."

"Sir, we have informed the soldiers of West City and South City, and the old men like Tang Qi are leading the team personally. Not a single thief will escape!"

"Just waiting for your order."

Upon hearing this, Fan Xian nodded slightly and looked at Ye Zheng standing beside him.

Ye Zheng nodded, "Then, let's get started."

When you cut flesh from your body, even if it is rotten flesh, you will feel it.

He has suffered pain, now it's time for others to suffer!
