1240. Chapter 1240 Breaking apart from each other 【02】
She was so angry that she scolded the Zheng family as white-eyed wolves. If it weren't for the Hou Mansion, what would Zheng Haichao be able to do?
I'm afraid he won't even be able to sit as an ordinary prefect.
It’s not like you came from a serious imperial examination background, so why are you pretending?
Naturally, she didn't know that Mrs. Zheng was trying to show her favor to Shen Mingzhu, telling her that she had reached this point and was completely cut off from the Liu family and would no longer care about the Shen family's affairs.
I also hope that Shen Mingzhu can show his noble hand and so on.
Mrs. Zheng was just a flag-waving figure recruited by Shen Yunluo. Naturally, Shen Mingzhu would not put the cart before the horse and abandon Shen Yunluo to deal with Mrs. Zheng.
So, Mrs. Zheng showed her kindness, and Shen Mingzhu accepted it.
She immediately arranged for Mei Yingxue to leave and disappear directly, so that she would no longer threaten Mrs. Zheng's back house.
Mrs. Zheng breathed a long sigh of relief.
However, Zheng Haichao has recently begun to feel anxious again, because there seem to be more and more refugees in the capital.
Before, there were just batches here and there, and they gradually receded.
But now there is a sudden surge. He has never heard of a large-scale disaster breaking out anywhere. How can there be so many victims?
Because these disaster victims have left their hometowns and have no property, their only requirement is to eat to survive, so they dare to do anything in order to have enough to eat.
This will undoubtedly increase the pressure on public security in Beijing.
Incidents similar to looting by disaster victims have occurred frequently, not only on the roads, but also on the streets of the capital, where many shops have been robbed.
The number of people reporting crimes has also surged these days, making the Yamen extremely busy, and there are not enough people to just record the cases.
Zheng Haichao had to use his personal connections to ask thugs and other thugs who had used his connections to hide in the capital and had no household registration to help clean up, at least not to let the refugees cause too much trouble.
As a result, he had originally thought well, but who knew that those thugs were not easy to deal with, and the refugees were not soft persimmons. Suddenly, there were several armed fights, killing and injuring many people.
All of a sudden, it was like poking a hornet's nest. The refugees stopped working, the thugs stopped working, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
In the beginning, these were discussed with the six ministries and the cabinet, but who knows which censor actually went to the emperor.
Now Zheng Haichao was in bad luck. The emperor called him over, cursed him profusely, and finally ordered: "You have to clean it up for me within ten days, or get out!"
Regardless of whether it is reasonable or not, Zheng Haichao can only accept it.
Who can challenge the emperor?
Can you reason with the emperor?
It’s not like my family’s heads are all filled with diamonds and can’t be chopped off with a ghost-headed sword.
Zheng Haichao brought a large number of troops and was busy suppressing and appeasing them every day, but the result was counterproductive, and the chaos became more and more chaotic. Later, even officials were robbed.
The servants of Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Wu Qingbo and several other ladies were robbed, and a lot of money and goodies from the farm were taken away.
For a time, the capital was in chaos.
Originally, Zheng Haichao wanted to discuss a solution with Liu Ning, but because of Mrs. Zheng's rejection of Mrs. Chen, the Hou Mansion had stopped communicating with her a long time ago, so the Hou Mansion naturally didn't care.
Now that the things in the Hou Mansion were robbed again, Mrs. Chen immediately felt that she had something to do, and asked her servants to beat the big drum of Jingzhao Yin Yamen, complaining that her belongings had been robbed outside the capital, and demanded compensation from Jingzhao Yin Yamen. return.
