Being favored by the paranoid master, the whole imperial capital kneels down

The Wang family originally came to the Chu family to force Zhou Mingzhu to reveal Su Shi's whereabouts.

They sold a lot of family fixed assets before they could raise enough money to pay back the Queen.

But there is still a small part missing.

Originally, the Wang family thought that by sending Wang Lanzhi to be the Crown Princess, their family would become rich and powerful.

After all, it is the Queen who has to establish a frugal image.

Wang Lanzhi doesn't need to establish herself as a frugal person.

The money used as a betrothal gift for Su Shujing will be earned back soon.

It turned out that the Wang family was overthinking it.

It is said that once you have power, money will come easily.

But neither the Queen nor the Crown Prince had any power, let alone Wang Lanzhi.

The Wang family had talked to Wang Lanzhi many times, hoping that Wang Lanzhi could use her status as the Crown Princess to provide some conveniences to the Wang family.

For example, find a lucrative official position for Mr. Wang San.

However, Wang Lanzhi tried every possible way to whisper in the prince's ear, but she still couldn't get the position of the third son of the Wang family.

The prince had no choice.

The entire Ministry of Personnel is controlled by Yan Luosi, and all official appointments must be approved by Nan Chenrao.

He wanted to use his status as the crown prince to place a few new people in the officialdom.

They will be rejected on the spot by Yama Si.

Not to mention arranging a lucrative official position for the third son of the Wang family. All the lucrative official positions are in the hands of the Nan family.

The Nan family will investigate the assets and reputation of every newly appointed official before he takes office.

If there is any sign of using backdoors or bribery, the official position will be immediately dismissed.

Whether the person has done these things or someone in his family has done these things, it will become a stain in the investigation file.

Therefore, to be an official in the Great Sheng Dynasty now, one must not only be a clean person.

Even family members must be clean and honest.

Many people say that it has become difficult to be an official now.

In the past, to become an official, one just needed to be promoted, but now, whoever promotes whom will be dismissed from office.

It's still light.

In serious cases, like what happened to the Zhou family, the entire family would be confiscated and exiled, or even executed.

At first, some people said that Yama's rule was as harsh and ferocious as a tiger.

Everyone was forced to the point of suffocation by Yama Si.

Nanchen Rao, the chief of Yama's court, can stop children from crying at night.

Later, starting from the common people at the bottom, they gradually discovered that the officialdom of the Dasheng Dynasty was clean and honest.

Throughout the officialdom, Nan Chenrao promoted and appointed more and more officials.

The originally corrupt Dasheng Dynasty was gradually cleared up by Nanchen Rao through his cruel and harsh policies.

Before the previous head of the family passed away and Nan Chenrao took power.

The Great Sheng Dynasty was extremely decadent and corrupt, and Emperor Bai Jing was mediocre and devoted himself to cultivating immortality.

The treasury was once empty.

From Emperor Bai Jing to the concubines in the palace, everyone had to live frugally.

Now the situation of an empty treasury no longer exists.

The weakness and poverty of the Dasheng Dynasty were gradually reversed.

At this time, the court and the people were gradually united, and it was extremely difficult for the prince to take away the power in Nanchen Rao's hands.

The Wang family wanted to rise to prominence by sending women into the harem, and become one of the top wealthy families in the imperial capital.

almost impossible.

So even though the Wang family’s status and position have improved, they are still very poor.

Wang Baobao was a disappointing person and failed the imperial examinations many times.

He also spent the whole day hanging out in brothels.

Young Master Wang San has read a few books.

But with his talent, he is still far from becoming an official through studying.

What's more, with his family background, there is a lazy and greedy person like Wang Baobao in his family.

And the Wang family had a history of bribing the Eastern Palace and the Queen's Palace many times.

When this upward path was blocked by the Nan family, the Wang family wanted to send someone to become an official and take control of a lucrative position.

almost impossible.

The most the Wang family can do now is to repay the debts Wang Baobao owes at the casinos outside.

Those casino owners didn't dare to come to the Wang family to collect debts openly.

The Wang family was naturally unwilling to accept this, so it became extremely important to recover Su Shujing's betrothal gift.

Madam Wang Da and Madam Wang Er dragged Chu Jingyue into the courtyard of Marquis Chu.

Immediately, I saw Lord Chu rolling his eyes and foaming at the mouth.

He lay on the steps.

Zhou Mingzhu, who was standing by, bent down and checked Lord Chu's breath.

She quickly withdrew her hand, rolled her eyes, and burst into tears.

“Brother-in-law, you are popular with the Wang family!”

"Your health wasn't good to begin with. After my sister passed away, you said you were still attached to the old love and wanted to marry me as your second wife."

"How could you die like this?"

She cried loudly, blaming the death of Marquis Chu on the Wang family.

Madam Wang Da and Madam Wang Er looked extremely unhappy.

How could these two women have ever seen such a scene?

This Lord Chu stinks all over, and there are lumps of stuff below his neck and in his crotch, and no one knows what it is.

The whole yard stank of manure.

Even Chu Jingyue, who was pressed in, couldn't help but vomit.

But Chu Jingyue endured it. When she saw Zhou Mingzhu's behavior, she immediately burst into tears.

"It's all the Wang family's fault that you were harmed. Dad, the Wang family must compensate you!"

Chu Jingyue and Zhou Mingzhu, mother and daughter, sang in unison and cried heartbrokenly.

Madam Wang Da and Madam Wang Er originally came here to force people to collect debts. How could they have thought that someone would die?

The two men looked at each other, hurriedly let go of Chu Jingyue, and were about to leave with the Wang family.

But Zhou Mingzhu would not miss this good opportunity to blackmail people.

She was very adept at using these methods in the northern border.

He immediately rushed over, grabbed Madam Wang and demanded compensation.

Madam Wang was so angry that she was helpless. "This Marquis Chu is only your sister's husband. What does he have to do with you?"

"Why does it have nothing to do with me? If it weren't for you, I would have become Lord Chu's second wife long ago."

Faced with such a scoundrel, Mrs. Wang had no words to say.

But Zhou Mingzhu asked for a huge sum of money, one million taels of silver as compensation, which the Wang family could not afford.

Even if I could take it out, I would not allow Zhou Mingzhu to blackmail me like this.

"Your Wang family has produced a queen and a crown princess, how is it possible that you can't even come up with this little money?"

Zhou Mingzhu refused to give in and refused to let the Wang family leave.

The Chu family's movements finally alarmed Nan Chuzheng in the Nan residence.

Nan Da stood respectfully in front of Nan Chuzheng, "Miss, the head of the family wants you to do whatever you want. Don't overwork yourself."

Nan Chuzheng nodded.

Holding a rattle in her hand, she amused her son in her arms.

"This kind of thing must be reported to the military headquarters."

Before the Wang family could react, they were all taken back to Jingzhao Prefecture by the people from the Bingmasi.
