Chapter 1089 The Yamen Comes
The Zheng family didn't send the jade pendant when it was night, they thought Shen Yan was scaring them.
The next morning, Zhanzhu rode into Lingyan City, took the waist badge of Prince Rui's mansion, met Zheng Jiancheng, the prefect of Lingyan City, and explained his purpose.
Zheng Jiancheng heard that it was Princess Rui's stepmother who came to look for her daughter, and he also paid attention to this matter. He had seen Prince Rui's anger at the time.
So he took the yamen to Zhengjiazhuang directly, almost scared Li Zheng's soul away, and hurriedly greeted him: "I don't know if the magistrate is coming, and the villain will be far away."
Zheng Zhifu official Weiyi asked: "Which household is the Zheng family in the village?"
Lao Lizheng said, "The Zheng family occupies half of our village. I don't know which family the prefect is talking about?"
The prefect turned his head to ask Zhanzhu next to him, then turned and said, "The family who adopted Zheng Yuanshan?"
Li Zheng felt a sigh in his heart and said, "It won't be Yuanshan's biological mother who wants to settle accounts with the Zheng family."
But the prefect asked, and he didn't want to say anything, so he said, "Please come with the villain."
The Zheng family was still eating breakfast when they heard footsteps coming from outside the hospital. The little grandson of the Zheng family ran out to watch the fun, but when they saw that Li was bringing people from the government, they were frightened. He crawled into the yard.
stammered: "A, grandma, there is a yamen coming to our side, and it was brought by Li Zhengye."
Mrs. Zheng said, "What, there is a yamen here." She was so frightened that she didn't know what to do.
The others in the yard also heard it, so they didn't even bother to eat, they all stood up in a panic, and ran to the gate of the yard to look outside.
Upon seeing this, a team of yamen officers came to their house under the leadership of Li Zheng.
The Zheng family's husband and wife looked at each other, and the Zheng family's daughter-in-law said a little angrily: "Mother, look, if the jade pendant was sent yesterday, where would such a thing come from?" dead person.
Mrs. Zheng said, "Not only our family lives here, who knows if it's for our family."
But Mrs. Zheng's mouth was tough, but the yamen still surrounded the Zheng family, and people from the village came over to watch the lively Zheng family from a distance.
The prefect Zheng Jiancheng glanced at the surrounding people and asked the Zheng family, "Is Zheng Yuanshan your adopted daughter?"
Zheng's daughter-in-law saw that her mother-in-law and husband were too scared to move, so she took a step forward and replied, "Master Hui, yes, yes."
Zheng Jiancheng asked again: "Zheng Yuanshan had a lot of jewelry on her body at the time. You won't deny it, right? Several families in the village know about it."
The prefect had already understood the meaning of the lady before he came, and said: "You have adopted Zheng Yuanshan once, except for the jade pendant, other jewelry should compensate you for adopting Zheng Yuanshan.
Now take out the jade pendant, this official still has official duties, so there is no delay. "
Mrs. Zheng said: "The jade pendant can be returned to Yuanshan, but we have adopted her for so many years, so we have to compensate us for something."
Zheng Jiancheng said, "Do you know how much silver those jewelry are worth?"
Mrs. Zheng said: "How much it can be worth, it's only a dozen or eight taels."
Zheng Jiancheng said: "Those jewelry are specially made to order, and the materials used are of the highest quality, so each piece is no less than a hundred taels of silver."
Mrs. Zheng said, "Sir, what did you say? How can those things be so valuable?"
Zheng Jiancheng said: "There is no need for this officer to coax you, take out the jade pendant quickly, or take it all back to the yamen."
As soon as the words fell, the yamen came forward to prepare to take them away. Mrs. Zheng also knew that she was afraid. Such a big family can't have an accident, and hurriedly said: "Sir, wait a moment, the women will go to fetch them."
Heartache is dripping blood, but it's not enough.
The aunt of the Zheng family suddenly burst into tears, and said to Mrs. Zheng who had already walked out of the yard: "Mother, that is the dowry you promised me. What should I do if you gave them?"
As soon as these words came out, the crowd watching the lively outside started booing and pointing at the Zheng family.
