Daming: From the end of Hongwu

Now there is only regret left in their hearts.

Knowing why today is the beginning.

But who would have thought that a rebel at the beginning would become the Duke of the state, and who would have thought that King Yan, who was in a city, would break into the capital and become the emperor.

Who would have believed this matter a few years ago, I am afraid that even if someone told them the ending, they would sneer and slap that person.

At this time, among the direct descendants of these clan elders, there were a few young descendants who couldn't help looking at the clan elders with resentment. Ask their elders why they did that in the first place, if they hadn't done that, if they were on the side of the main line of the Zhen family, then now they have a patriarch, a cousin or a cousin...

What is this concept.

They can take advantage of the situation to walk out of Wuji, not to mention Zhending Mansion, even the whole Daming, they still dare to walk sideways.

But these dreams are just dreams after all.

In fact, they offended the Duke instead.

Finally, one person couldn't help but said: "Grandpa, why were you so confused at the beginning, but now you have caused us misery."

One person opened his mouth, and other complaining voices sounded continuously.

"Yeah, Dad, why didn't you discuss it with us at the beginning, we are all from the Zhen family, why are we in such a rush, why did you help others to kill the old patriarch?"

"Speaking of which, the old patriarch hugged me when I was young. If I had known that you were going to force the old patriarch to death, I would have stopped you."

……

The nagging complaints continued.

A clan elder couldn't help but said: "Fart, how can we stop the imperial court's order back then? You don't want to be an afterthought here, our old ones are not dead yet, it's not your turn to be the masters of the house."

Another clan elder said: "This is such a critical moment. What's wrong with the children saying a few words? It was because your words were too fierce back then that old brother committed suicide in anger. Otherwise, it wouldn't have happened."

"Xizhuang, what do you mean? Now you are going to shirk responsibility with me?"

"What am I shirking, am I wrong? Don't you guys from Dongzhuang just keep disobeying the master?"

"You fucking fart, no matter how disobedient you are, the ones in your Xizhuang are no worse than ours in Dongzhuang."

……

A group of people immediately quarreled, blowing their beards and staring when they were heated, it was very lively.

And this scene happened more than once when they learned that Zhen Wu had become the Duke of the state. They thought of various ways to deal with it, and even wanted to contact the Zhen family officials to make peace, or send money to find a protective umbrella. But now who dares to offend Zhen Wu?

Even if someone dared to offend Zhen Wu, it was not within their reach.

Not only that, although Daming is big, but he offended a Duke, they have nowhere to run, and now they can only pray for Zhen Wu's forgiveness.

But this feeling of life and death is really uncomfortable.

……

Chapter 327 - Prestige and differentiation

In front of Zhen's old house.

Looking at the spotless house, Zhen Wu didn't have much emotion in his heart, but when Tang and Zhang Yuqing looked at the house, there was an inexplicable emotion in their eyes, which made Zhen Wu feel a little What puzzled him was that he didn't expect Zhu Yuying to look at this house with a serious expression.

He didn't quite know whether the old house of the Zhen family had any special meaning to the three daughters-in-law of the Zhen family. Xiaoqi and others surnamed Zhen seemed a little heartless.

How does this work.

Zhen Wu stared at Xiao Liu in a blink of an eye, and slapped Xiao Liu on the back of the head: "Look at your heartless appearance, what do you want me to say about you?"

Xiao Liu's small mouth opened in surprise in an instant, and the whole person became stunned.

She had question marks all over her head.

what?

She has been honest all the way, why is she so heartless, why should she still be beaten? !

Zhen Wu originally wanted to educate a few more words, but he glanced away and saw Liu Erniang who was silently waiting for him near the house, and then he fixed his eyes, and said to Xiaoliu Xiaoqi: "You take our mother and your sister-in-law first. go in."

After finishing speaking, Zhen Wu waved at Liu Erniang.

Seeing Zhen Wu's movements, Xiao Liu knew that Zhen Wu had business to do, so he didn't bother Zhen Wu, and turned to look fiercely at Xiao Qi.

Xiaoqi's heart skipped a beat, and before Xiaoliu could speak, he quickly came to Zhang Yuqing and the others, and he said obediently: "Mother, auntie, sister-in-law, my elder brother asked us to go in first, I will support you, and I will help you." Lead the way, lest you trip over the steps."

His words brought Zhang Yuqing and the three daughters back to their senses. Tang looked at Xiao Qi with a smile, and said to Zhang Yuqing with a smile: "Look at Xiao Qi, who is sensible, after all, he is a man in the family, but Auntie I've lived in this house for most of my life, if I can still stumble, it's fine, you can support your mother, and my aunt doesn't need to."

Xiao Qi nodded, obediently supported Zhang Yuqing and walked towards the house, taking advantage of the opportunity to avoid Xiao Liu's unreasonable anger.

When Xiao Liu saw this scene, his heart became confused.

When did this Xiaoqi also practice the trick of pretending?

He is good?

I bother!

At this time, Erniang Liu had already arrived at Zhen Wu's side. Zhen Wu took Erniang Liu a few steps away from the crowd, and the guards automatically surrounded them to prevent others from eavesdropping on their conversation.

"Is everything done?" Zhen Wu asked.

Liu Erniang took out a piece of paper from her sleeve and handed it respectfully to Zhen Wudao: "It's all done. Those who fell into trouble and cheated on others were not missing, and they were all arrested. Moreover, the matter you asked me to investigate back then is also very important." All investigations have been carried out, and people have been sent to communicate with them, and they are all willing to cooperate with the Duke, this is the list, please take a look."

Zhen Wu took it over and looked at it, then folded the paper, put it in his sleeve and said, "This time, you did a good job." Then, Zhen Wu sized up the charming Liu Erniang, and suddenly smiled Get up and ask: "I heard that you married Duhu?"

In the past, Liu Erniang was also a master who could make fun of with the gangsters at will, and dared to take any dirty jokes, and flirted with them back, but she didn't expect that Zhen Wu would blush for the first time when she was asked such a question.

She stuttered and said, "Yes... yes... because we often travel together, so...so..."

Zhen Wu interrupted her explanation with a wave of his hand.

"What are you explaining to me? Maybe I don't care who you marry or not." Zhen Wu said angrily, then curled his lips and said: "You can find Ma Yi by yourself in a while, and I'll give you some from him. The congratulatory gifts prepared are for you."

"This...no need, sir, really no need." Liu Erniang was surprised, and then hastily declined.

"Take it, you have been working for me for so many years, how can I not express that you are married, I just ask you this because I remember when I first met you, I remember that you were asking for a peaceful place, but now I can satisfy you , but I don’t know where you want to live, you can choose whatever you want in Daming, if you want to come, I will arrange you there, no one will embarrass you, it will be enough to make you rich and healthy for the rest of your life.”

Liu Erniang's expression became a little embarrassed.

Zhen Wu was a little puzzled and said, "Or do you just need me to let people go, and I don't need to make arrangements?"

"it's not true."

After Liu Erniang finished speaking, she knelt down straight towards Zhen Wu. She bit her lip lightly, then strengthened her conviction and said, "We are willing to continue to serve the Duke to death, and please take him in."

Zhen Wu became even more puzzled. He looked at Liu Erniang, and after a while, guessed, "For future generations?"

Liu Erniang lowered her head, and muffled a reply.

Zhen Wu suddenly realized.

Right.

He is not what he used to be now, since Liu Erniang was lucky enough to become his confidant, how could she not fight for her offspring, maybe one day Zhen Wu would help her offspring find an official position.

Who wouldn't want a shortcut to reach the sky in one step.

He was sure about Zhu Di back then.

"Okay, since that's the case, let's take over and do the work." After finishing speaking, Zhen Wu waved his hand, ignored Liu Erniang, turned around and walked towards the house.

It can be seen that the house is quite old, but it is not dilapidated, and judging from some traces of repairs, it is extremely well maintained. Zhen Wu doesn't know the overall size of the house, but it can be used for five Looking at the gate with six people running side by side, one or two can be speculated.

Zhen Wu entered the mansion and went directly to the middle hall. What caught his eyes was the Zhongshan hall hanging high in the middle hall. This thing may be worthless in the eyes of others, but in the eyes of the Zhen clan, it is like a sacred object noble.

Not to mention other people, just from the fact that the Tang Corporation has often talked about this hall name in the past few years, and the money that was robbed is rarely mentioned, so it can be seen that it is normal.

Now that this hall name is returned by those clan elders who are knowledgeable, it is not unexpected to Zhen Wu. If they still want to keep it for themselves at this moment, they are looking for death.

At this time, the Tang family, looking at the hall name that had been lost and regained, had already released the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time, crying sadly, and crying with relief. While Zhang Yuqing and Zhu Yuying were comforting, they couldn't help feeling Tang Under the influence of Shi, the tone of his words under sympathy is also a little bit more pharynx.

Zhen Wu couldn't stand the atmosphere, turned his head and walked out of the hall again.

When he came outside, he found a place to sit, sat down, and waved to Jia Wen who had been waiting carefully outside.

Jia Wen hurried over.

Zhen Wu played with a jade pendant, and casually ordered: "Didn't you prepare food and drinks, no matter if you ordered it in a restaurant or a banquet at home, let people put it in the house here."

"Yes, I will do it now, sir."

Jia Wen hurried back to their group, gave a few hasty instructions to them, then ran back to Zhen Wu's side again, and asked flatteringly, "Master Guo, what else can you order. "

Zhen Wu glanced at him, then thought for a while and said, "If I remember correctly, you were here when the old man committed suicide, right?"

Jia Wen's face turned pale instantly, he opened his mouth, wanting to explain, but Zhen Wu didn't want to listen to his explanation at all.

"You don't need to explain anything. I won't move your head or position right now. I'll give you a six-month probationary period. What you should and shouldn't do in this half-year. Think about it yourself. If I'm not satisfied after half a year..." Having said that, Zhen Wu looked back at Jia Wen with a grin and said, "At that time I will come to Wuji again and pick off your head."

Although Zhen Wu was smiling, in Jia Wen's eyes, Zhen Wu at this moment was no different from a tiger with a big grin and blood dripping.

Jia Wen didn't dare to think too much, so he nodded quickly.

"Okay, go get busy, hurry up for the meal, don't waste time." Zhen Wu waved his hand.

Not long after, Jia Wen prepared the meals, and Zhen Wu took Zhang Yuqing and the others to sit down for dinner. While they were eating, the city of Wuji was completely lively.

Mrs. Zhen's eldest grandson returned with her family.

what?

I don't know who the eldest grandson of Mrs. Zhen is?

That is the son-in-law of the current emperor, the number one general in the army, Zhao Guogong!

The people in Wuji City, after the gossip soul was ignited by the fury, got out of control, and even many boldly came to the old house of the Zhen family to watch, and some other wealthy households in the city may have had contacts with the Zhen family before. Everyone in the family discussed it one by one.

Those who had feuds with the Zhen clan gloated, and even thought about whether they would be able to board the huge ship Zhen Wu, while those who had been in-laws with the Zhen clan all closed their doors in fear, annoyed why they hadn't cut off contact with them early .

In this situation, Zhen Wu and the others finally finished their meal.

The time gradually came to the afternoon.

Several clan elders who had been kneeling outside the city gate stood up unsteadily. After they breathed a sigh of relief, they became nervous again the next moment. They knew that the moment to decide their fate had finally arrived.

The group of them pondered over their own concerns, and walked to the old house of the Zhen family step by step. The elder at the head took a deep breath and walked in.

When they saw Zhen Wu, some outsiders had already dismissed Zhen Wu, and in the middle hall, apart from Tang, only Xiao Liu was interested in coming here to watch the fun.

After the leader clan elder bowed down to Zhen Wu, he took out a roster and handed it to Zhen Wu.

"This is some property of the Lord's family. We have gathered it together. We have also found some of the managers who were dismissed before. In addition, we have the interests of the past few years, as well as some of my wishes. I also respect the patriarch. Take it."

Zhen Wu put down the teacup, took the roster and briefly glanced at it, then handed it to Tang.

After taking it over, Tang took a closer look.

She had been in charge of the family's property before, and she knew everything about it, but others couldn't fool her. After she finished reading, she nodded to Zhen Wu.

After Zhen Wu received this signal, he looked at the leader of the clan elder.

These people are fairly honest.

He knows what he ate and spits it out with profit.

but…

Zhen Wu looked at the clan elder with a half-smile, and said: "I see, the property has decreased a little. I'm not happy that you deceived me like this."

The patriarch panicked immediately, and said anxiously: "We dare not lie to the patriarch, I can assure you that there will be no shortage at all."

Zhen Wu's face darkened slightly.

The leader of the clan elder wanted to say more, but was suddenly stopped by a clan elder behind him, who said with a smile: "The clan leader is right, it is indeed missing, we will make it up, this is Fill."

As soon as these words fell, the leader of the clan elder finally understood.

Much less, Zhen Wu has the final say.

Zhen Wu nodded and said: "Then you guys can discuss and discuss the reduction of those properties here, and let's also see how we deal with some house thieves and some people who eat inside and outside."

After finishing speaking, Zhen Wu gestured to Ma Yi.

Ma Yi hurried down, and after a while, Liu Erniang came in with a group of bound people. When this group of people just came in, the faces of that group always changed drastically.

Because this group of people used to be the stewards of the various properties or houses of the main family, but when the main family suddenly changed, most of these people took advantage of the inside and outside, and turned to them in exchange for the rights and interests in their hands.

What makes them even more horrified is that many of these managers should not be in Wuji, some should be in Liaodong, and some should be in Henan and Shandong, but now many of these people have been arrested. over here.

Is this the Duke?
