Sir, my wife is pretending to be innocent again
Chapter 308 This job is so frustrating!
The eldest son of the Qi family was kidnapped. Although this matter was not actively publicized, many people knew about it. "I heard that it took three hundred thousand taels to redeem him. I don't know where the kidnapper came from and how brave he was." "
Niu Wanqing shook her head from time to time, wishing she could personally lead the troops to suppress the attack, but she didn't know what was going on with her elder brother. After learning the news, she was indifferent and even suppressed the people below who wanted to take action. She only said that she was very busy recently and had no time to go. Take care of this matter.
Cheng Xiaosi was curious, "The Qi family didn't report to the government?"
"How can a businessman dare to report to the official?"
Niu Wanqing was helpless, "I'm afraid of being retaliated against. If the people don't hold the officials accountable, I'm afraid this matter will go unsolved."
Cheng Xiaosi felt that this era was indeed very dangerous. Such things could happen right under the emperor's nose. Wouldn't it be more dangerous in places where the sky is high and the emperor is far away?
Just as they were talking, Mrs. Zhang of the Zhang family received a note and a jade pendant. Zhang Dewen officially fell into the hands of the gangsters and demanded a price of 300,000 taels. This frightened the Zhang family so much that Mrs. Zhang was afraid of her son. There was an accident and she had to use her family assets to redeem someone. Others in the Zhang family asked her if the news leaked out, how could the Zhang family explain how the three hundred thousand taels came from?
Some people advocated reporting to the police, but Mrs. Zhang did not dare to take risks. Soon the Zhang family was in chaos. Mrs. Zhang, whose husband was not around, almost single-handedly fought against the entire Zhang family, demanding money to save her son at all costs.
It's a pity that the Zhang family didn't know that their every move was under the control of the emperor. When he learned that the Zhang family could really come up with 300,000 taels, the emperor regretted his decision. He originally thought of giving it to Zhang when he got the money. Your Excellency has moved to a remote place in a poor country. Why move now? Just cut it down to save him from harming the people in other places.
"Where did the Crown Prince and the Third Prince dance again?"
The chamberlain bowed and replied, "The prince is busy with this year's spring. I heard that the third prince made an appointment with Miss Fang Thirteen for an outing today."
The emperor snorted coldly, "He is quite busy. Is Fang Qinyu going to the capital?"
Recently, he has become more and more dissatisfied with this son. He is like a butterfly. He wants a girl to be beautiful and attractive, and he also needs a girl from a prominent family to be his help. He is very greedy.
Suddenly, it became clear why Cheng Daqi's daughter hated him so much.
At noon that day, Little General Erniu successfully convinced his old father-in-law, and then took a nap at Cheng's house for a while before taking Cheng Erniang back. Xiao He sent him to the door with a smile on his face, "This time, your sister is You really didn’t choose the wrong person.”
Cheng Xiaosi said that he would go to Niu's house in two days to check on General Niu's waist and 'by the way' see how her sister was doing.
Cheng Daqi learned about Zhang Dewen's kidnapping in the evening. The look in his father-in-law's eyes changed, and he thought that if he indulged his old father-in-law, it didn't mean that none of the rich men in the capital would be able to escape this murderous hand.
Xiao Zhanpeng rolled his eyes at him. He had been washing his hands in a golden basin for so many years. Who did he do this for?
I feel in my heart that the emperor is probably an old fool. He can't deal with these corrupt people in an honest way. He has to use violence to fight violence?
Aren't you afraid that those officials will become more corrupt after losing money?
This job is so frustrating!
"Now that the girl is married, there is nothing to worry about. We should work hard and earn more money for the emperor. Now we, the whole family, are risking our lives, and our heads are shaking."
Xiao Zhanpeng felt that the emperor was not very reliable, and neither was his son. Now that they knew that the emperor had ordered officials to kidnap officials and extort money, would they turn against him later and want to kill them secretly?
Hey, it made him want to run away. Of course, Cheng Daqi knew that he had to do something as soon as possible to give the emperor a little sweetness, so as to preserve their wealth. "I didn't delay my duties. I have been working all the time. Which year doesn't make money in the second half of the year?"
The emperor was so impatient that he couldn't resist.
On March 15th, the Xiao family officially moved. Their new mansion had been repaired long ago. The Xiao family sisters could not wait to visit it three times a day. For this day, they even went to the Taoist temple to plan the housewarming and prepare early. All the items needed for the housewarming were rehearsed twice on the first day.
At the auspicious time, firecrackers exploded at the gate. Xiao Zhanpeng was the first to step in, followed closely by his children and grandchildren. Everyone said a few auspicious words when entering, bursts of laughter.
The Yuan family next door also sent congratulatory gifts, and Mrs. Yuan and others were even present in person.
"This house is really well-renovated. It looks spacious and majestic."
There are not many common flowers and plants in the Xiao family's house. There are eighteen kinds of weapons displayed in the yard, making it look like a martial arts hall. Mrs. Yuan smiled and said: "With so many knights from the Xiao family living next door, I I feel much more at ease now.”
Mrs. Xiao smiled and said: "The men in the family have to practice kung fu every day, and the sound is a bit loud. Please forgive me, Mrs. Yuan, if it makes me noisy."
"What did the old lady say? We have always been looking forward to you coming to live here. It's noisy and lively. From now on, our two families will be close to each other, so we have to take care of each other."
Although the Yuan family is an aristocratic family, they have no intention of looking down on the Xiao family. What's more, the Xiao family is Xiaosi's maternal ancestors, so they must treat each other with courtesy.
Xiao He brought people from the escort agency to support the scene. As soon as they arrived, the house became more lively. Perhaps noisy is more appropriate. Cheng Xiaosi asked Yuan Su next to him, "The escorts don't have too many scruples about what they say. Will your mother not get used to it?"
Yuan Su said: "Maybe, but she will go back later and won't stay too long."
Cheng Xiaosi asked him to take more care of her. In her eyes, not to mention the different social status of the two families, there was also a big difference in their speaking habits. The Xiao family members were all cheerful and liked to talk loudly and laugh loudly, while the Yuan family members It's polite and reserved, but they can't be said together.
As expected, Mrs. Yuan soon said goodbye. Xiao He personally sent the person to the door. Mrs. Yuan smiled and said: "Don't send him off, it only takes a few steps. Just walk a few steps forward when you go out."
Xiao He said that the reception was not good, Mrs. Yuan comforted her with a smile, and then went out, leaving Yuan Su here to help.
As soon as Mrs. Yuan left, the voices of the Xiao family were a little louder than before. It can be seen that Mrs. Yuan was still restrained just now because she was so lonely. Cheng Xiaosi asked Yuan Su with a smile, "Aren't you leaving?"
Yuan Su was puzzled, so Cheng Xiaosi told him with a smile, "If you don't find a reason to run away now, you won't be able to leave later."
"My grandpa bought a lot of wine."
Yuan Su smiled, "Then we can't leave anymore."
As soon as he finished speaking, General Erniu came with Cheng Erniang. Yuan Su smiled and said, "Look, another person has come. I won't be afraid if someone is with me." (End of Chapter)
