Chapter 1240: Evidence

Editor: Henyee Translations

“Oh, isn’t that Manager Zheng? I have seen him before! 100,000 mu mulberry fields is the Zheng Family’s mulberry garden, isn’t it? Manager Zheng and his wife are old servants of the Zheng Family, and they stole the contract? That can’t be possible!”

“I don’t think that is possible either. How could they steal 100,000 mu? Even if they could, they would not have the guts to do so!”

“….”

Uncle Qing denied everything that was asked. He insisted that his Young Master sold 100,000 mulberry fields to Old Master Shao and Madame Shao, and the whole thing was not a theft.

Zhao Ye was very intimidating. He insisted that Uncle Qing did it.

Uncle Qing sneered. Since he claimed that he stole the contract, what evidence did he have?

Without evidence, what was the point of making empty vows?

He also said that he was not in charge of the Zheng Family. What did the mulberry garden have to do with him? Did he want to take it? How dare he slander him for no reason? How ridiculous!

Also, even if he did something wrong, it should be Young Master who came to him. He had nothing to do with the Zheng Family after all.

Everyone in Yangzhou knew about the Zhao Family, the richest family in Yangzhou, and their gossips had been a hot topic for a while. Hearing what Uncle Qing said, everyone started to look at Zhao Ye in a very unfriendly way.

There was a lot of gossip going on, and some of them were very unpleasant.

Zhao Ye did not want to hear those sarcastic words of sourness, but he still heard a lot of them, which made him very angry.

Zhao Ye shouted. “Officer, Zheng Qing is just defending himself! My Third Brother is from the Zhao Family, and his things belong to the Zhao Family too. Zheng Qing betrayed his master, and please interrogate him! If he did not steal anything, why did he sneak back to Yangzhou alone without seeing my Third Brother? 100,000 mu of mulberry garden is not a small thing, and even if it is sold, my Third Brother would not entrust such a big thing to a servant like him!”

“And he refuses to reveal where my Third Brother is, and he refuses to get him back. Isn’t he trying to get rid of us? We even suspect that my poor Third Brother might have been…”

“Officer, please look into this!”

Zhao Ye complained bitterly and kept suggesting that the magistrate should punish him.

Many people were shocked by what he said.

“…You are right, Second Young Master Zhao! We have 100,000 mu of mulberry fields, and we should sell them personally, right? We have father and brother, and we can’t just let a servant make the decision!”

“Yeah, I think so!”

“Brothers? Young Master Zhao is the lineal son, and the so-called Elder Young Master and Second Young Master of the Zhao Family are all concubine’s children. Young Master Zhao’s mother has passed away, and Old Master Zhao is biased and doesn’t treat his lineal son well, forcing him to stay at home. It is reasonable that Young Master Zhao would rather keep Manager Zheng company than father and concubine’s brother.”

“Yeah, you have no idea what the Zhao Family is like…”

Uncle Qing was the one who hired those audience.

He was going to reveal what happened to the Zhao Family. Madame Zheng had been pretending to be a virtuous woman for Young Master for so many years, but she still died in an “accident”. The Zhao Family could not tolerate Young Master any more, and it was time to settle the unfairness.

Gossips of the wealthy families, the fights between wives and concubines, and the fights between lineal and concubines had always been the gossips that the commoners were most interested in.
