Chapter 787 Thorough Investigation and Pension

"Thank you very much, sir. You are so kind. I wish your family will be prosperous and your descendants will have long-lasting blessings and luck." Zheng Xingniang bowed and thanked him.

Don't think that she is just saying thanks for nothing and she is reluctant to give you a penny.

The truth is that these people were wearing silk robes, one of which earned more than her husband earned in a year. If she gave them money as a thank you, it would be humiliating them. It would be better for her to say something nice.

"Go quickly, my family is the Chen family, the charcoal burning family in Tianmang Mansion..."

"My home is..."

The masters introduced their families.

Zheng Xingniang understood: "Thank you very much. As long as the opportunity is right, I will tell Mr. Qin's family about your good deeds."

Zhou Liushu and his son lowered their heads, blushing a little...

After they walked away, Zhou Liushu whispered to her, "Wife, we are the ones who owe the Qin family now. We can't force them to introduce someone to us. It will make people dislike us."

"Do I need you to teach me? And who are we? Is it our turn to introduce someone to the Qin family? It's just the right opportunity, so I'm just giving you a heads up." Zheng Xingniang said, "Don't preach. Go find my grandma and deal with Zheng Tianqiang. If I don't beat Zheng Tianqiang to a pulp today, I'll be his grandson!"

Zheng Xingniang was furious, and Kang Liwen was furious, and ordered: "Investigate who instigated them, who helped them to reach Taifeng Town unimpeded, who among the descendants of the married women took the money, and who did they take the money from? Find out for me one by one!"

"For today's incident, we must investigate the cause, process, and who benefited from it. Anyone who dares to cover up or conceal the truth will be severely punished!"

Originally, Kang Liwen was happily packing his luggage, preparing to set off back to the capital tomorrow to meet Duke Yan and report the spy crime to him in person.

And as long as his report is correct this time, he will have a chance of promotion.

Who would have thought that the descendants of the married women from Wansong Village would cause trouble!

Fortunately, the three old ladies did not die.

If someone died and the people were disheartened, he would be demoted to the lowest position, not to mention promotion.

After all, Emperor Wuxing hated powerful families, and he got this position thanks to his family. Moreover, over the years, he had been doing nothing but sitting in this position without any achievements. He just muddled through.

To sum up, it would be fine if there is no mistake, but if there is a mistake and Duke Yan sees it, then, haha, you will be lucky to be able to return to your hometown safely and retire.

So Kang Liwen cursed with saliva flying everywhere, and he lost all the manners of a young man from a noble family.

Judge Zheng was also very angry. He had been here since last year to work on the case. Now he had finally finished the work, but he almost fell into trouble, which tarnished his beautiful political achievements.

"Investigate the Baofu County government office, the county government offices along the way, and the government offices!"

"The capital and the provincial government should also send people to deliver the news and have the two government offices send people to investigate. In short, no matter who is behind this, even if he is in a high position and has great power, we must investigate!"

The Duke of Yan has already arrived, so what are they afraid of? It can't be that the Duke of Yan did this, right?

Therefore, they felt relieved and bold enough to investigate. They were not afraid even if they found out that it was Lord Yan who did it. They were only afraid that if they investigated too lightly, they would be convicted of inaction by Duke Yan!

When the masters in the camp heard these words, they were shocked...It seems that there will be another shock in the Northeast Province.

Fortunately, they have never taken advantage of the descendants of the women who married out of Wansong Village, so you can watch the show with peace of mind.

……

At the sentry post outside the town, Zheng Xingniang and her companions were stopped for more than half a minute. Only after Kang Li asked the adults to come over and help them prove their identities were they allowed to pass and go to the camp where Captain Tang and other military officers were temporarily staying.

In the soldiers' camp, three old ladies were temporarily staying in the largest tent.

Grandma Qin, Second Aunt Qin, Qin Xiaomi, Grandma Qin Liu and others were also guarding inside.

Soon, after some notification, Zheng Xingniang and others were brought into the tent.

"Grandma, grandma, I'm here. Are you okay?" Zheng Xingniang rushed to Zheng Wan's wooden couch as soon as she arrived, turned her head and asked Grandma Qin.

Grandma Qin: "Don't worry, Grandma Wan is fine."

Zheng Xingniang was relieved, and knelt down again, saying, "I thank old lady Qin for saving my grandmother. I am guilty for not being able to stop Zheng Tianqiang in time."

"However the government wants to deal with Zheng Tianqiang, it will be handled according to the law. My family has no objection."

"As for my grandma, I, Zheng Xingniang, will take care of her in her old age and bring her back to my husband's family. My husband also agrees. My husband and I swear on our lives that we will never let my grandma be used by others and do anything to cause trouble for the government office!"

He spoke rapidly, saying all the important things.

Then he glared at Zhou Liushu who was dumbfounded: "Liuzi, show your attitude, don't act like I'm forcing you to support my grandma in her old age!"

Zhou Liushu was startled and said hurriedly, "You are in charge of these household affairs. Besides, my grandmother is a centenarian. It is a good thing to take care of her in her old age. My Zhou family is naturally happy to do so."

Zhou Liushu brought his son and bowed to Grandma Qin solemnly to express his gratitude: "Thank you, Madam Qin, for saving my grandmother. I am deeply grateful. Our Zhou family will definitely take good care of Grandma Zheng."

"No need to be so polite, just get up." Grandma Qin said with a smile, finally feeling a little relieved after a day of worrying about her.

Everyone who heard Zheng Xingniang's words breathed a sigh of relief... As long as someone could take care of the three old ladies and prevent them from being exploited by their descendants, everything else would be easy.

Grandma Qin glanced at Qin Xiaomi and asked, "Zheng Xingniang, why did you come here just now?"

The granddaughter said that we cannot fully trust the family members of the three grandmothers who did not participate in the riot and we need to ask them in detail.

Zheng Xingniang was a woman who looked strong on the outside but was actually very pretty on the inside. She understood immediately and told the whole story.

Although the spy crime was a big deal and Grandma Wan had been paying attention to it, so many years had passed and she was too old to move. So after learning that the revenge had been taken, she only paid tribute at home and had no intention of returning to the village.

I haven't been back for decades.

Moreover, they rejected the government's proposal and did not move back to guard the village. Now, with so many descendants, they have already separated. How can they move back to Wansong Village?

But someone is instigating it.

Zheng Tianqiang, that bastard, has found a brother.

His brother gave him some advice, saying that Wansong Village was now famous, and was awarded by His Majesty. If they could live in a place like this, those rich gentlemen would come to him with silver, just to ask him to invite them to the village and see what the official residence built by the emperor's decree looked like? !

It is also said that rich gentlemen who have a lot of business will have many enemies and will get into legal troubles every year. However, as long as Lord Qin says a good word for them, when they go to court with their enemies, the gentlemen will side with the family that Lord Qin praised.

That family will easily win the case.

As long as Zheng Tianqiang can move his family to Wansong Village, he can become a middleman, do this business, and make money from rich men!

What if Mr. Qin doesn’t speak up for us?

Hey, that's easy. Just don't let Old Master Qin know about these things... Old Master Qin is an old farmer. He usually goes to the county seat of Baofu County at most. As long as Zheng Tianqiang only takes business from the capital, the Qin family will probably never know that he is using Old Master Qin to do business.

The more Zheng Tianqiang listened, the more he thought it made sense, so he did it immediately.

He also persuaded other descendants of Zheng Wanshi.

They were all ordinary people, and they all wanted their family lives to be better, so they didn't stop him, nor did they follow him, and just let Zheng Tianqiang do whatever he wanted.

"I heard it from the nephew of Zheng Tianqiang's wife. Her nephew is a good-for-nothing. He showed off this thing before it was even done."

"Someone reported it to me, so I hurried back to my parents' house to stop them. But I was a step too late. Not only did I not see them, but I was also locked up by Zheng Tiangui and his men. If I hadn't set the fire, I wouldn't be able to get out now!"
