Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 507 The prefect invites your whole family

"It's all right, why would anyone come to Luoyang? They are descendants of nobles."

Someone from Luoyang entered Dai County, and the Zheng family was the most sensitive to this. The previous letter sent by the emperor had stimulated the family's fragile nerves, making them pay attention to changes in the situation at all times.

Zheng Lin analyzed calmly: "Our place, Dai County, has always been a remote place on the frontier. Nobles do not like to come here, but this time I heard that they came in a group, and the target is Dai County."

His words made everyone in the Zheng family in the room fall into deep thought.

"Where did you get this news?" Zheng Shi asked, raising his eyebrows.

"It was said that the convoy of the Wang family of Langya and Marquis Xixiang had entered the territory of Daijun, but was stopped by General Wang's people who had been waiting there for a long time. After questioning, they found out that their destination was Daijun.”

"Langya Wang Family? Xixiang Marquis?" Zheng Shi was a little confused when he heard these two names, "Is it all because of Chen Zhi?"

"I didn't ask," Zheng Lin said with a solemn expression, "because no one in the convoy was willing to say it clearly, as if they had some scruples. But even so, just thinking about the past situation of Daijun, we should be able to think of it, Besides that Governor Chen, who else can attract people like this?"

Zheng Shi frowned, and asked: "Then why are they unwilling to expose this obvious matter?"

Zheng Lin said: "This is not clear. Not only did he not want to be exposed, he also said that the news of their arrival in Dai County could not be spread, otherwise he would suffer the anger of several families, so that General Wang Quan Wang, now He was in a dilemma. He was ordered to intercept, so he didn't dare not report it, but he couldn't bear the censure of those families, so he found an excuse and detained the person at the border. But I heard that some troubles occurred because of this. contradiction."

"This is really strange." Zheng Shi looked puzzled and felt deeply worried.

"Well, there is no need to talk about this matter," Zheng Taigong suddenly said at this time, "No matter why these individuals came, they are inseparable from Chen Zhiding. These wealthy families are not something we can offend. For In order to prevent nights and dreams from happening again, it is better to get people to do it as soon as possible at the Zhifang, otherwise it will take a long time, and there may be something wrong."

Zheng Lin immediately said: "Our Zheng family's paper shop has been prepared, but we haven't tried the recipe, and started work hastily, that is, there is no turning back, and there is no room for change."

This time, even Zheng Shi agreed, but he was obviously scared: "It's better to take this matter slowly. Once the work starts, the white paper will come out of the cage and spread to the city, and Chen Zhi will know about it. What's the point? Wang Quan If we can't stop the Wang family and the descendants of Xixiang Hou, then Chen Zhi will slander us in front of them, and my Zheng family will be in trouble."

Old Mrs. Zheng's face turned ugly all of a sudden. He looked at Zheng Shi with disappointment in his eyes: "How can you be the kind of person who does things like this? If you look forward and backward and change your mind when difficulties arise, how can you accomplish anything? Not to mention whether Chen Zhi will. Even if he can slander, our Zheng family has no way out. Why are you so short-sighted? Do you think it was the production of the paper mill that is when my family and Chen Zhi broke up? Wrong, since we contacted Wang Da There is no room for change between the general and Chen Zhi."

The old man said and shook his head: "If you offend the Luoyang family, it will hurt the reputation and luck, and it will not be conducive to the family affairs. But if you offend General Wang, then the family will be destroyed! After all, that Wang The general is the governor of Youzhou, and this is a position that can directly interfere with the lifeline of my Zheng family!"

boom!
Before Old Mrs. Zheng finished speaking, the door to their home was suddenly knocked open, and a slightly short figure broke in directly. He looked at the room of stunned faces with a sneer and said lightly: "It's really funny. You know that the governor of Youzhou is directly under the commander-in-chief and can be involved in the fate of the family, so you have never thought that the prefect of Daijun is closer to you than the governor of Youzhou?" The person who came was obviously Chen Zhi's confidant Ran Zhan.

This young man had an evil look on his face and was dressed in a short brigade. Behind him were several heroic men in dark clothes. Behind them was a dark courtyard without any sound.

After the astonishment, Mrs. Zheng was the first to recover. He slowly stood up from his seat, knocked the crutch in his hand on the ground, and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you? You don't know what is here. place? Can you bear the crime of trespassing on my Zheng's house?"

How could he fail to recognize that the person who came was Ran Zhan, Chen Zhi's confidant, but he deliberately kept silent.

But Zheng Taigong didn't tell the truth, but other people in the room couldn't keep their composure. The two brothers Zheng Zhi and Zheng Dun couldn't help but exclaimed when they saw Ran Zhan's face.

Why does Ran Zhan appear here?This is the center of the Zheng family!They come in so swaggeringly, what about the other people in the mansion?Why so quiet?
Countless questions ran through the minds of the two of them, making them even more frightened.

"What's your name? Quiet!" Zheng Shi scolded, quickly came to the door, and said with a cold face: "Please leave! I, the Zheng family, will not pursue it, otherwise!"

"That's enough, no need to pretend anymore," Ran Zhan shook his head and sneered, "Don't you know who I am? As for letting me leave, it's even more ridiculous. Your Zheng family's meeting was held deep in the backyard of the old house for the sake of security. Wanquan, there are more than [-] guards patrolling back and forth. There are so many servants and maids in this high-rise courtyard. Even if you don't have time, you will scream one or two when you see someone invading. But now it is as quiet as a chicken. Don't you want to Do you know why?"

He sneered, but his heart was full of reluctance.

He had long disliked the Zheng family and had always wanted to take action, but Chen Zhi never let go. But now he was suddenly willing to take action, which made Ran Zhan extremely excited.

He actually went in and out of Zheng's house several times. After repeated inspections, he had already cleared the door by touching it. Now he led a night attack, knocking out sentries one by one and dragging them into the grass. In just half an hour, he cleared the mansion and then crashed into it. When I opened the door, I had an idea in mind, and wanted to show off my authority, but the people in the room actually pretended to be confused.

"People of the Ming Dynasty don't tell secret stories. Today I was ordered to invite your family to the county governor's mansion. Please come with me!"

"Okay, okay!" When Zheng Taigong saw that Ran Zhan mentioned the prefect, he knew that he couldn't fool him, so he simply said: "I don't know, in what name did the prefect send you here? Do you want to invite us over? Since it is an invitation, then naturally You can refuse, it’s getting late, and my Zheng family has things to do, so I won’t bother the prefect.”

"It seems I said something wrong," Ran Zhan raised his eyebrows, "Please, it's just a polite way of saying it, but it's actually an arrest! Come on, do it!"

　I've had some altitude sickness these past two days and I really can't stand it anymore, so I can only continue with two thousand words.
