Chapter 1241: Zheng Family



Uncle Qing was well-prepared. He was telling the truth. He accurately hit the core point of gossips, and everyone was listening with interest.

They subconsciously believed at least 80% of what was said.

Madame Zheng, the first wife of the family, passed away when she was very young, and the Young Master had to stay at home for three years to pay the respect. That sounded so reasonable and pitiful.

And Ms. Qin, who only knew how to cry, made the man lose his mind and abandoned his wife and son. She was so low-class!

Zhao Ye had his back straight, showing that he was honest. He looked calm on the surface, but in fact, he was about to explode!

He had no idea what the officer was waiting for at this moment.

He had already hinted so clearly that the officer could get Zheng Qing to be taken away for torture and punishment. Why had he not done anything yet?

And he was even praising himself inwardly for being smart!

If this dragged on, they would not be able to get any result.

Uncle Qing glanced at him. “Officer, I am still saying the same thing. Young Master gave the contract to me and asked me to sell it. Young Master said that if the mulberry garden is in his hands, he won’t have any income of one liang, so he might as well sell it and see the money! He doesn’t want to go back to Yangzhou, so he asked me to do it for him. Young Master trusts me, so I did what he asked me to!”

“Otherwise, I would not have been able to get 100,000 mu of mulberry garden if it was not given to me by the Young Master!”

“I am telling the truth! I swear that I will never lie to you in public!”

The officer frowned and snapped. “Ridiculous! You think I don’t know the economy? 100,000 mu of mulberry field, pick mulberry to raise silkworms, and silkworms to spin cocoons and spit silk. Silk is not cheap. Even after all costs are excluded, 100,000 mulberry garden should have a profit of 700,000 or 800,000 liang, but you said you obtained none?”

Uncle Qing sneered. “You are right, Officer, but there is one reason…”

Zhao Ye suddenly shouted, “Officer, this servant is trying to say that he is up to no good. Please, don’t listen to his nonsense!”

Uncle Qing sneered. “You don’t dare to let me tell? Young Master Zhao, are you feeling guilty?”

Zhao Ye gritted his teeth. “You are so cunning. You are just making up stories. Why should I listen to your nonsense?”

Uncle Qing said, “Whether it is nonsense or not, I am going to speak out loud. If you are not feeling guilty, you don’t have to interrupt me. Officer, please allow me to explain.”

“Officer!”

The officer glanced at Zhao Ye and said to Uncle Qing, “Please proceed.”

Zhao Ye opened his mouth and closed it unwillingly.

He did not know if it was an illusion, but when the officer glanced at him just now, he felt a chill down his spine.

“Thank you, Officer!” Uncle Qing said angrily, “The silk produced in 100,000 mu of mulberry fields is worth more than 1,000,000 liang, but Young Master doesn’t get a single liang every year, because all the silk has been taken away by the Zhao Family for free!”

Everyone was in an uproar.

Zhao Ye could not help but say, “Third Brother is from the Zhao Family, and you are part of the Zhao Family’s weaving workshop. What is wrong with your own silk supplying your own workshop?”

“That is the Zheng Family’s mulberry garden! The Zhao Family’s properties belong to the Zhao Family, but the Zheng Family’s mulberry garden is left to Young Master by our Old Master and Madame Zheng! Young Master has a share in the Zhao Family’s properties, but the Zheng Family’s mulberry garden belongs to Young Master alone! Young Master Zhao, you can’t just have no idea about such a simple principle?”
