Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 514 Putting it to death and then living?
Faced with the rebuke, Zheng Lin could only smile bitterly.

He knew the Zheng family's property very well, and of course he knew how much damage this move would do to the Zheng family, but the problem was that he had to do this.

Compared with the declining situation of the Zheng family, Zheng Lin would never accept the direct removal of the Zheng family.

Therefore, in the face of Wu Jie's questioning, Zheng Lin could only sigh, and then cupped his hands and said: "I hope Mr. Wu can understand that we are involuntary, if we don't do this, my Zheng family is afraid that I will be killed." Completely removed from this county."

"Oh?" Wu Jie frowned and chewed on this sentence, "You mean, Chen Zhi came prepared this time, enough to remove your Zheng family from Dai County? What kind of thing can To eradicate an aristocratic family that has been passed down for so many years in one fell swoop? This is not something a county governor can do. The governor is a transient official and will leave sooner or later, while the aristocratic family is rooted in the land. Not to mention Chen Zhi, even if the general wants to To attack the Zheng family, it will take a lot of effort and at least a lot of time. Could it be said that once Chen Zhi takes action, he can surpass the General's Mansion?"

It looked like analysis, but in fact, the words contained threats. Zheng Lin couldn't tell, but he could only smile bitterly, just nodded, and said in a slightly pleading tone: "I hope Mr. Wu can understand."

"Forgiveness?" Wu Jie suddenly raised his voice, "I understand your Zheng family, who will understand me? This matter, but your Zheng family rushed to send it, and I will be in front of the general, for you I recommended it, but now when I turn around, you want to tear down my platform, so you come and tell me, how can I be considerate of you?"

Before Zheng Lin could answer, Wu Jie continued: "You, the Zheng family, must give me an explanation for this matter. Otherwise, if Chen Zhi can let you go, I, Wu Jie, will not let me go either!" As soon as he finished speaking, He didn't care what Zheng Lin explained, he turned around and left, leaving behind a determined figure, leaving Zheng Lin confused and not knowing what to do.

But remembering the agreement with Chen Zhi, Zheng Lin had to sigh and murmured to himself: "Now I can only rely on me to wait for this line to take a risk and see if I can arouse the same hatred of other families. In the end, Put pressure on Governor Chen so that he can act arrogantly and give my Zheng family a chance to breathe, otherwise it will really be doomed."

With this idea in mind, Zheng Lin did not chase Wu Jie, but instead recruited many subordinates and continued to give instructions on the transfer of the Zheng family's property. But what followed was a backlash within the Zheng family.

The Zheng family is not just one person, but a huge power group with different demands within it. Even the common people have their own interests, and since they cannot enjoy the political resources of the Zheng family, their main interests are concentrated. How can we tolerate the loss of all the scattered and marginal industries and fields?

However, Zheng Lin has his own skills and will not let the backlash occur. Therefore, a battle for the interests of the concubines will inevitably be staged in the Zheng family.

The next day, the news reached everyone's ears, but it didn't surprise them at all.

Even Ran Zhan heard about it and immediately came to Chen Zhi to report the news.

Chen Zhi replied: "This is expected, but there is no need to worry, because Zheng Lin is considered a good person in the Zheng family. He may not be enough to deal with other families, but when dealing with people within the Zheng family, It’s still more than enough.”

Ran Zhan was even more puzzled: "But this is not a good thing after all. Why not just wipe out all the Zheng family and let them exchange Dai County's property."

Ran Zhan also knew something about the transaction between Chen Zhi and the Zheng family——

Everyone in the Zheng family was in panic and was imprisoned. In order to show their sincere submission, they took it upon themselves to transfer their property and land to Chen Zhi.Chen Zhi let it go.

Just when the Zheng family had thought that Chen Zhi wanted to accommodate the Zheng family and was accepting bribes, Chen Zhi suddenly met everyone again and made a request.

"Using half of the Zheng family's wealth in exchange for forgiveness for everyone in the Zheng family. The original intention here is to take over the Zheng family's property, fields, farms, Wubao, and even the tenant farmers in Daijun. Even if I give this Zheng family Everyone headed by the Zheng family has been expelled. It is not easy to take over the Zheng family's property legitimately. But it is different now. With the personal cooperation of the Zheng family, the transfer, acceptance, and digestion are completed in one go. It is an annexation. The most ideal choice.”

Chen Zhi said this to Ran Zhan.

Since the Zheng family wanted to deal with him, Chen Zhi had no reason to let him go, let alone wait for death. Originally, he had arranged a back-up team in the paper shop to defeat the Zheng family's arrangement, but now that he had the twelve zodiac signs origami, Naturally, there are more ideal and perfect choices.

Compared with the lives of the Zheng family, their industry is the real lifeblood and foundation.

"The people who killed them only had a temporary pleasure and left behind troubles and clues. But if they took away their property, there would be no chance for these people to stand up again. And if they couldn't die, it would be even more torture. Gone forever, living the rest of their lives with a simple diet, the contrast and contrast between high and low is enough to make their souls constantly tortured."

"But in that case, why not take them all?" Ran Zhan frowned and had his own opinion, "You have only taken over the Zheng family's property in the county capital, and there is still half of it outside."

"What's here is the essence. The management is perfect. The shops, farms, and Wubao cooperate with each other to get twice the result with half the effort." Chen Zhi is like a teacher, earnest and good at tempting. "Compared with it, the remaining half seems huge, but in fact Scattered all over the place, not much is left, and they are scattered, disorganized, useless, meaningless to obtain, and a pity to discard. Besides..."

He smiled slightly and changed the topic: "These remaining properties are actually just bones for other families to tear apart."

"The gentleman is saying that if you take away most of the Zheng family's property in one fell swoop, the other families will definitely be unhappy and come back to fight for it. Leave the remaining scattered matters to them to fight for, so as not to interfere with the businesses and businesses of this generation of the county. Field transfer? Will they be what you think?" Ran Zhan has obviously learned a lot recently, and he has a context for analysis. The more he thinks about it, the more likely it is.

Unexpectedly, Chen Zhi shook his head and said: "Of course not. The so-called rabbit dies, the fox is sad, and the lips are dead and the teeth are cold. No matter what the Zheng family is, it is still a big family in Dai County. No matter whether it has grievances or enemies with other families, it is still a local snake. I am a foreigner. Not long after we arrived, a big family was forced to this point. How could other families stand by and watch? The reason why Taigong Zheng agreed to my request was actually to create a situation where it was too much to go too far, and to arouse the panic of other families and come to join me. Only when they are in trouble can they put themselves to death and survive."

Ran Zhan's heart skipped a beat and he asked, "What should we do?"

Chen Zhi smiled and said: "Of course I want them to understand that even with the power of Daijun, I can't shake my will! Counting the time, it's time to come."
