Chapter 175 Confiscating the house
Chapter 175 Confiscating the house
"It doesn't matter. Your Zhou family has done evil things and deserves the consequences." Shang Yan gave an order: "Search everything thoroughly for me. Don't leave even a single penny behind."
"Yes." Huo Mi received the order.
Take people down to search.
After searching like this, I did find a lot of things.
Zhou Qiongyu, who was locked in the woodshed, appeared in front of everyone in a mad state, wearing a red skirt. She deliberately tore the cloth on her chest, revealing a white chest.
She waved the cloth in her hand.
"Hahahaha...I am the imperial concubine..."
"I am the imperial concubine."
"Su, you bitch. Since you are my adoptive mother, why don't you give me all your dowry?"
"They are all mine. The Su family's property should also be mine."
"Wuwuwu... Su. Mother, since you raised me, why did you abandon me?"
Shang Yan listened to her crazy words.
One look passed.
The people in the Jinyiwei held the embroidered spring swords and said, "Crazy woman."
The words have not yet fallen.
The Embroidered Spring Knife slashed Zhou Qiongyu's neck.
Shang Yan said coldly:
"The daughter of the Zhou family dared to associate with the emperor. I had no choice but to order someone to shut her up, but she refused to repent and ran into Xiu Chun Dao."
Zhou Chengzhang naturally didn't care whether Zhou Qiongyu lived or died, he just thought that he shouldn't come back to the capital.
Wang Yuehong collapsed on the ground.
I dared not utter a single word.
She knew that the Zhou family was doomed.
A search.
Wanruo was brought out with her big belly, and she tried to escape with her hair disheveled, but was stopped by the Jinyiwei.
"Where to run?"
"I am a concubine and have nothing to do with the Zhou family." Wan Ruo cried and looked at the Jinyiwei people pitifully. "Let me leave."
"Humph. There are Zhou family members in my belly, so it's impossible for me to leave."
When Wanruo heard this, she instantly became energetic.
"No, no. The baby in my belly is not Zhou Chengru's. He can't have children at all. He asked me to find someone to lend me sperm so that I can say it's his child."
Wanruo wiped the snot and tears from her face.
"Really? Zhou Chengru knows that the baby in my belly is not his."
Zhou Chengzhang kicked him angrily.
No one noticed.
Wanruo was kicked to the ground by Zhou Chengzhang, "Ah..."
"Zhou Chengzhang."
Facing Yao Tongzhi's angry rebuke, Zhou Chengzhang had a cold expression on his face. "This bitch is deliberately throwing dirty water. I really can't let her slander me."
Yao Tongzhi snorted coldly:
"When the Jinyiwei investigates a case, you also have to take action. Who dares to move?"
"I..."
Yao Tongzhi swung the whip in his hand and said, "How dare a lowly official like you show off in front of the Jinyiwei?"
Zhou Chengzhang took the whipping.
He gritted his teeth to prevent himself from falling, but after all he was a civil servant he stumbled a few times.
He was supported by his followers.
"Third Master."
"No problem."
Wanruo, lying on the ground, kept shouting that her stomach was aching badly.
A maid was called over by the Jinyiwei to check on her and immediately sat on the ground in panic. "Madam Wan is bleeding."
The Jinyiwei people don’t care.
However, they also allowed the Zhou family to call a midwife over.
Zhou Chengzhang and Wang Yuehong ignored it.
Wanruo cried hard.
She begged, "Please go to the South Gate and ask Lin Dahai to come over for me."
"My child belongs to Master Linda Hailin."
Shang Yan raised his eyebrows, "Lin Dahai? Is he the merchant who sells the goods?"
Yao Tongzhi grabbed the water bag and took a sip. "Sir, the Lin family is a famous merchant in the Great Zhou. It is said that they almost became imperial merchants. They were besieged by several old imperial merchants and failed to become imperial merchants."
Shang Yan became interested.
"Send someone to the Lin family to deliver a message, remember to be high-profile."
"Yes."
Yao Tongzhi casually sent a boy over, and when the boy saw that Tongzhi personally asked him to do the work, he naturally wanted to do the job well.
After leaving Zhou's house, he shouted to the onlookers:
"Who knows about the Lin Mansion outside the South Gate?"
"We all know about the wealthy Lin family."
"The concubine in the Zhou Mansion said that the baby in her belly is from Lin Dahai, the young master of the Lin family. Now she is complaining of stomach pain, so I'm afraid it's premature birth."
The eyes of the onlookers suddenly lit up.
What a great gossip this is.
The Lin family man’s legs were long enough to reach into the bed of Zhou’s concubine.
The Zhou family is quite unlucky.
What kind of immoral things have I done? This year has been filled with speechless things happening left and right.
No matter how lofty your words are, ordinary people are still not willing to listen.
You talk about these official families being cuckolded, uncles having affairs with their sisters-in-law, and adultery, etc. The common people can tell you thousands of versions of the story.
People along the way shouted to go to Lin's house.
The servants of the Lin residence stumbled back to report, and Master Lin was so angry that he almost dragged his son out and beat him up. He ordered someone to call Lin Dahai over and asked him what happened.
"According to the family rules, beat this evil boy to death."
Lin Dahai knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, "Dad, I was just drunk and got tricked by that bitch."
Mrs. Lin saw her son being beaten and the Lin family became the laughing stock of the capital.
Suddenly I felt very angry.
He raised his hand and slapped his daughter-in-law a few times, "Useless thing. If you can control a man's heart, how could you let my son go out and be plotted against by a bitch."
Lin Dahai's daughter-in-law was stunned.
I didn't dare to argue with my mother-in-law.
"Mother, I didn't know my husband was outside..."
"It's all because of your jealousy. Wouldn't it be better to find a few more concubines to make Dahai go out? You are a good wife, so your husband will naturally want to go home. Don't look for your own reasons, and you still have the nerve to argue with your mother-in-law.
Is this how your parents taught you?
I can tell from the first glance that you are an ill-educated person. My good son has been ruined by a shrew like you."
Lin Dahai's mother directed all her anger at her daughter-in-law.
He wished he could burn his daughter-in-law to death.
Poor Lin Dahai's wife wanted to cry but had no tears. Her husband was a businessman and his concubines were limited. If there were no more, she would sell two and buy two back every two years to keep them fresh.
There were so many maids in the same room.
She didn't dare to resist.
I could only bite my lip and endure it.
Lin Dahai listened to his mother's insults and started shouting:
"Stop hitting me, Dad. It's because my wife has a dead face all day long, and it's boring for me to stay at home facing a dead face."
"I married such an unlucky woman in order to repay my gratitude."
This conversation made Mr. Lin lose his temper.
He looked at his daughter-in-law with tired eyes and shook his head angrily: "Who are you cursing with your sad face?"
The Jinyiwei people were speechless.
This is a shop that sells pots.
He is used to passing on the blame.
He really couldn't listen any more, "I said, such a big Lin Mansion can rely on a woman to suck up the luck, is your Lin Mansion made of paper or have you done too many bad things?"
"How do we deal with the matter of the concubine in the Zhou Mansion?"
Lin Dahai didn't dare to go over.
Afraid of being beaten.
"It has nothing to do with me. How would I know how many men that woman has slept with?"
Refuse to admit it.
"You guys are okay?"
"No, absolutely not." Lin Dahai shook his head like a rattle.
"Okay, I got it."
The Jinyiwei people went back.
As soon as we left the Lin residence, someone started asking us what was going on.
The people from the Embroidered Uniform Guard were not afraid of the people from the Lin Mansion coming to their door, so they immediately told them that Lin Dahai had slept with Zhou Chengru's concubine but had no intention of taking responsibility.
"He teamed up with Mrs. Lin to beat and scold his daughter-in-law at home."
Outsiders were completely confused by what they heard.
"What does it have to do with my wife?"
"Just say that the wife didn't stop her husband from doing bad things."
"The Lin family has a bad tradition."
"Can the things sold by such people be good?"
The Jinyiwei people spoke again, "Whether it's good or not is another matter, as long as no one dies, it's fine. Anyway, we Jinyiwei avoid the Lin family shop when we buy things."
Done.
Go back and report the news.
Ordinary people now have one more topic to talk about.
Shang Yan had already called a midwife over, but Wan Ruo still gave birth to the baby early.
Born stillborn.
Wanruo was injured and said that it was impossible for her to be a mother again.
Aunt Liu came in crying.
"Wanruo. The Jinyiwei people said that Lin Dahai did not admit that the child was his. They said that you, a prostitute, had slept with so many men outside. It might be the child of some bald beggar."
Aunt Liu's eyes were red. "Why do you want to do this? Our bodies as women are the most important."
Wanruo wiped away her tears.
"Did Lin Dahai say that or did his wife say that?" Wanruo heard Lin Dahai say that he had a fierce wife and thought that the old woman must have been unwilling to accept this and stopped Lin Dahai from taking her back.
"Lin Dahai's wife is a pitiful woman. She lives at home much like our second grandmother did before."
Aunt Liu looked at Wanruo as if she were a fool.
"We women listen to men wholeheartedly, but that's just a lie men tell us. Wanruo, do you really believe what Lin Dahai said about having a fierce wife at home?
Or do you just not believe the truth?"
Wanruo didn't dare to speak.
