When the female family members of the Zhao family came, they were very excited after hearing the news.
The old lady of the Zhao family died of illness the year before last. Now the person with the highest status is Mrs. Zhao, Mrs. Li. Mrs. Li is not a daughter of a family with five surnames and seven looks, but she is also the daughter of the powerful Li family in the local area. She is clever in her methods and manages the family well.
The large Zhao family is well managed, and she is the highly respected patriarch of the Zhao family.
For such an outstanding and powerful woman, the moment she saw her husband being escorted heavily by the government officials, her vision went dark. Fortunately, her daughter supported her and prevented her from fainting.
Fortunately, she didn't cry or make a fuss or stop him unreasonably. Instead, she suppressed her emotions and stepped forward to ask, "May I ask, sir, what did my master do?"
Zhou Wu's tense mood eased slightly: "I have been ordered to ask the head of the Zhao family to go to the government office to assist in the investigation. As for what the matter is, I apologize for not being able to disclose it."
Li took a deep breath, clutched the handkerchief tightly, and continued to ask, "I wonder when my master will come back?"
"unknown."
There was silence all around.
"Then can everyone in the Zhao family move freely?" Li asked again.
Zhou Wu politely handed over his hand: "We have been to the Wongwei Mansion these days. There are government officials guarding the Zhao Mansion. If there is a need, just rely on the government officials on duty."
This is to imprison them.
Although the other party did not say it explicitly, it was enough to show that the crime was very serious. Even the usually calm Li family was panicked, let alone her children and aunts present.
The female relatives were in a panic. Zhao Yuhuan, who had been silent all this time, scolded: "Quiet! What does it look like? I'm not dead yet!"
Zhao Yuhuan was so powerful that the aunts who were crying secretly stopped crying immediately and lowered their heads and did not dare to say anything. Zhao Yuhuan ignored these people, but turned around and ordered: "Ms. Li, take a look at the mansion, I will be there soon."
return."
Mrs. Li was determined, and she knelt down and saluted: "Yes, I am waiting for the master to come back."
She gave a gift, and the group of people behind her bowed their knees. Zhao Yuhuan nodded lightly, but instead urged Zhou Wu: "Let's go."
Zhou Wu didn't take it seriously and continued to signal his men to take the person away.
The Zhao Mansion was inexplicably surrounded by the government, and it had long attracted attention. Whether it was the local dignitaries or the neighbors, they were watching in person or by sending people to watch. When they saw Zhao Yuhuan being escorted to the government carriage, no one was interested.
One is not shocked.
The head of the Zhao family was really caught!
This news centered on the Zhao Mansion and quickly swept across the entire Mingzhou Mansion in a violent storm. Whether those who knew about it or those who did not know about it, they were all shocked. As a powerful local family, the Zhao family can use the deep roots of a tree to spread the news.
Description is an object that is difficult for many people to reach.
However, in just less than half a year, the newly appointed prefect had fought against the Zhao family several times. The last visit to the Zhao family ended in failure, damaging a lot of foundations and causing serious injuries.
He never expected that in just half a month, the head of the Zhao family would end up in jail.
Magistrate Cui's strength is simply unfathomable.
The entire Mingzhou Prefecture was moved by this. I don’t know how many forces involved with the Zhao family were busy trying to distance themselves from the Zhao family, and many forces were secretly communicating with them. The winter that was supposed to be quiet and solemn suddenly came to life at this moment.
.
However, they don't know that a huge net has already been laid out, just waiting for those who are destined to fall into it.
