General Zhang did not intend to plan before taking action. A small village like this was not worth his effort.
He only wanted to confirm first if there was really a descendant of Princess Yong Chang in this village.
Not long after they were brought to the Zheng Family, the other subordinates followed closely behind. Soon, they surrounded the Zheng Family from the outside.
They even subdued the person who wanted to report.
Official Zheng and the others did not know anything about this.
“Did you find news of her?” Madam Zheng looked at the few people who walked in and her tone was very unfriendly.
Although these people were dressed plainly, their eyes were sharp. At a glance, they were not ordinary people.
Who are they?’
Madam Zheng narrowed her eyes. Could it be that they were bandits who wanted to take the opportunity to sneak in and rob the family?
Thinking that Minister Zheng had already left, the people here naturally had to listen to her.
Madam Zheng said to the butler, “Arrest them!”
The butler thought that he had heard wrongly. “Madam, that’s not appropriate. They—” “Are you senile? Do you really think they’re here to provide information?” Madam Zheng scolded the butler sternly and said to the servants beside her, “These are all people in disguise. Are you really blind? How dare you let just anyone in!”
General Zhang’s heart skipped a beat. How could there be such a sharp-eyed woman in a remote village?
The doubts in his heart had disappeared by 30 to 40%.
The descendants of Princess Yong Chang must be extraordinary, so they naturally had discerning eyes.
However, before General Zhang could show his joy, he heard the woman say again, “Are you deaf? Hurry up and arrest them. Beat them to death and throw them out to feed the dogs!”
This time, even Lord Liu could not sit still.
“Audacious woman, do you know who we are? You want to beat us to death at the drop of a hat. Who allowed you the power to execute people?!”
When Madam Zheng heard this, she was certain that they were thieves. Even if they were not, she could not let them off.
She had already offended them, so of course she could only offend them to the end.
In any case, her Big Brother was the county magistrate of Cangshan County. It did not matter if she beat someone to death.
Not long after Minister Zheng entered the room and lay down, in a daze, a servant knocked open the door in a panic.
He fell to the ground and said with a pale face, “Master, bad news. Madam has been captured!”
Official Zheng turned around and sat up. “What?!”
When Minister Zheng went to the front hall, he heard wild shrieks and howls. They were all from his wives and concubines.
Wasn’t the disheveled person at the front his wife?
He looked again and saw a group of strangers surrounding his house. The person in front was still carrying—
“Zao’er?!” Official Zheng could not remain calm anymore. “Who are you? Put my child down quickly. 1 can let bygones be bygones!”
General Zhang said coldly, “Are you the master of this place?”
Official Zheng: “Yes.”
General Zhang instructed, “Take him down! Inform the county magistrate here to come and see me today!”
The Great Chang Dynasty’s civil and military affairs were not interrelated, but a higher ranked official was enough to crush people to death.
Although General Zhang was only a seventh-grade general, the county magistrate of Cangshan County here was once demoted for his crimes. His original seventh-grade official title was now only at the ninth-grade. He was a small official.
Moreover, Lord Liu, who had followed them here this time, was a sixth-grade official.
There was Duke An Manor behind them. With their authority, the county magistrate wouldn’t have a choice in choosing sides.
Therefore, it was more than enough for him to manage the county magistrate.
Official Zheng knew that his brother-in-law was the county magistrate here. This was also the reason why his wife had always been so arrogant.
However, she was already in such a disheveled state. Obviously, she must have already used the name of the county magistrate to scare the other party.
Could it be that it was useless?
“You’d better hope that this child doesn’t have any other identity. Otherwise, none of you will be able to escape!” General Zhang looked at them coldly.
The child in his arms had his eyes closed. His originally well-rounded body had long lost weight..
