Zheng's house, Mr. Zheng's study.

Zheng Wenchang and the others looked straight at the dragon robes placed on the desk, their faces all terrifyingly dark.

After a while, Zheng Wenchang broke the silence and said: "Dad, it seems that our Zheng family has disturbed a lot of people."

Mr. Zheng sneered, "There is no one in the officialdom who is not hated by others."

But he didn't expect that this person would be so vicious and actually framed the Zheng family for rebellion. He clearly wanted to put the nine members of the Zheng family to death!

"If my third brother hadn't reacted quickly today, I'm afraid our family would have fallen into this thief's trick!" Zheng Wenhua, the eldest brother, said with both anger and joy.

Mr. Zheng nodded in agreement, and then asked: "Wenchang, did you recruit the thief? Who sent him?"

"He refused to say anything. He insisted that he came to fish in troubled waters and steal things, and he refused to admit that he had left things in our house." Zheng Wenchang said helplessly.

The matter of the dragon robe was of great importance, and it was not easy for him to confront the thief.

The thief probably took a fancy to this and refused to admit that he had let go of things in Zheng's house.

Zheng Wenchang tried all kinds of severe torture, but failed to pry open his mouth.

"Don't kill him and continue the interrogation. I don't believe he is so tough!" Mr. Zheng snorted coldly.

"Dad, is it possible that it really has nothing to do with this thief? He didn't put the things there." Zheng Wenrong, the second child who had been silent, said.

Mr. Zheng said without thinking: "Impossible, absolutely impossible. His appearance is too coincidental. If he didn't put the thing there, who would have put it there?"

Su Zhaozhao: In fact, he really didn’t put the things there. He did come to fish in troubled waters and steal things...

The thief cried and said: Look, I said it wasn't me, but you still forced me to admit that I put something there, and you still didn't tell me what it was...

If he wasn't afraid that if he admitted it, he would die more miserably if he couldn't tell what he put there, so he would have admitted it directly.

After all...the whip dipped in chili water really hurts!

"Dad, let's not say whether he released it or not. Now that someone is framing us like this, even if we escape for a while, we won't be able to escape forever." Zheng Wenchang said seriously.

Hearing this, Mr. Zheng and others' expressions became solemn.

There is only one who can commit a thief in a thousand days, but there is no one who can guard against a thief in a thousand days. What's more, it is impossible to guard against it. No one knows when he will fall into the trap.

The only way is to find the real culprit behind the scenes.

But if the thief didn't tell them, and they had no other clues, it would be extremely difficult to find out the real culprit behind the scenes.

"What do you think?" Mr. Zheng asked, rubbing his brows.

Zheng Wenchang did not answer, but said: "Dad, what do you think about the return of the world to a public world?"

Mr. Zheng did not realize the meaning of these words for a moment, and asked subconsciously: "What do you want to do?"

"Destroy the family and dethrone the emperor!"

As soon as these six words came out, Mr. Zheng's face changed drastically, and then he said sharply: "Hurry up and cover his mouth, ah no, hurry up and cover your ears!"

Zheng Wenhua and Zheng Wenrong were in a hurry, sometimes covering Zheng Wenchang's mouth, sometimes covering their own ears.

Zheng Wenchang pushed Zheng Wenrong's hand away with force and said in a firm voice: "Father, after inheriting the throne from my father, the public world has become the family world. Now more than two thousand years have passed, it is time to return to the public world!"

"Shut up!" Mr. Zheng glared angrily, "Do you know that spreading these words will be a major crime against the Nine Clan!"

Zheng Wenchang pointed at the dragon robe on the table with a sneer, "You don't have to wait for these words to spread, just walking around outside with this dress will be the same serious crime against the Nine Clan!"

"The Holy One will not condemn us because of a piece of clothing." Mr. Zheng argued.

"Dad, you can try it." Zheng Wenchang sneered. Mr. Zheng choked on his words, and then said a little irritably: "Wenchang, if you want to die, I won't stop you, but don't bring trouble to the family by seeking death!"

Zheng Wenhua and Zheng Wenrong nodded fiercely. The Zheng family has been a bit rebellious since childhood, so they have been incompatible with the aristocratic family for many years, but Zheng Wenchang's rebelliousness is also a little too much.

Whether it is to destroy the family or to dethrone the throne, it is too scary to say it.

"Don't worry, Dad, I won't do anything until I'm absolutely sure." Zheng Wenchang promised.

Mr. Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, and then warned: "Remember what you said, and the two of you. Everything I heard today is rotten in my stomach, and no one is allowed to reveal a word!"

Zheng Wenhua and Zheng Wenrong were so frightened that they dared not speak out, and quickly responded with assurances.

In fact, even if Mr. Zheng didn't say it, they didn't dare to reveal it. After all, it was a major crime to punish the nine tribes.

"Wenhua, bring the basin. It's better to burn An Xin as soon as possible." Mr. Zheng looked at the dragon robe and said.

Zheng Wenhua brought the basin used to burn waste paper. Mr. Zheng threw the dragon robe into it and lit it. After the dragon robe was completely burned to ashes, the few of them felt relieved.

"Dad, just now Mom asked me to look for any extra things at home. Maybe Mom is also doubting this." Zheng Wenchang said suddenly.

Mr. Zheng waved his hand nonchalantly, "Just find any excuse to tell your mother. The less people know about the dragon robe, the better."

"I understand, Dad." Zheng Wenchang nodded in agreement.

Coming out of the study, Zheng Wenchang walked slowly toward his yard.

No matter what Mr. Zheng says, his mind will not change.

As long as there is a chance, he will destroy the family and dethrone the throne!

He didn't want to be a slave who could be beaten and killed, and he didn't want to be killed by the nine tribes just because of a piece of clothing.

After all, the family world is mixed with too many personal feelings. Only the public world can be fair and just.

Zheng Wenchang stopped and looked up at the moon in the night.

The moon above his head has not changed since he can remember, just like his life has not changed in decades.

But since he could hear Su Zhaozhao's voice, he felt that this era was changing rapidly, and it felt like a pool of stagnant water suddenly turned into living water.

He had a premonition that a new era was coming.

At that time, all decayed things will be buried in the long river of the old era, and there will be no ships in the new era that can carry them.

Su family.

On the second day after returning from Zheng's house, Mrs. Zheng had someone bring her a gift, saying that she wanted to thank Mrs. Su for reminding her that she had found some unclean things at home.

Mrs. Su guessed that the Zheng family had found the dragon robe, and she suddenly felt more at ease.

However, this incident with the Zheng family also reminded her that she should check her home more frequently in the future to avoid being misplaced by unscrupulous people.

If it were the Dragon Robe and Jade Seal or something like that, how unjust the death of the nine tribes would be.

After sorting out the things sent by the Zheng family and putting them into storage, the morning passed. Just as Mrs. Su was about to go back to the house and lie down for a while, a servant from the Zhou family suddenly came.

Seeing the white belt tied around the servant's waist, Mrs. Su asked in surprise: "Why are you dressed like this? But something happened in the house?"

The servant said with a sad face: "Old madam, it is my master who has gone."
