After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 322: Work and Housing [3]

When Yan Da and his men received the news from the government, they were terrified and had no idea what to do. They hurried to see Tang Changan and asked him, "Boss, should we accept this money? Will there be any bad consequences if we accept it?"

Tang Changan smiled and said, "Don't worry, you deserve it. But after you get the money, you must move out of Yexiang Lane as soon as possible. Money can attract people, and if you don't leave, it's inevitable that people will have bad intentions on you."

This?

Yan Da and his friends were shocked, but reluctant to leave: "We have lived in Yexiang Lane for nearly twenty years. Although the people there are not good, they are not evil people. They are all forced out by poverty."

They also thought that after getting rid of Fang Erlai, they would slowly change the people in Yexiang Lane and make everyone better.

After listening to this, Tang Changan did not respond and just waited for their own choice.

Fortunately, Yan Da and his men did not disappoint him. They said, "The shopkeeper is right. We are too weak to protect our own family. We cannot help everyone. Tomorrow, we will go to the government office to get the money and find time to move."

Tang Changan knew that they knew how to avoid danger, so he nodded with satisfaction and said, "Most of the brothers in our carriage and horse inn live in the Da'an Street area. After you get off work, you can ask the brothers to take you to find a house nearby."

"Thank you, boss!" Yan Da and his friends were very happy and worked very hard. Just after 3 p.m., Tang Chang'an asked them to finish their work and called a worker to take them to find a house nearby.

Although both are in the west of the city, this area of ​​Da'an Street is the territory of the Da'an Coach House, where the atmosphere is relatively positive. There are no brothels and no private collection of money for personal protection. What's even more exciting is that the rent in this area is cheaper than that in Yexiang Lane!

Uncle Zhang and Uncle Liu were very excited: "The rent is 20% lower than Yexiang Lane, and the house is several times better than Yexiang Lane...but we have lived in Yexiang Lane for so many years, it's really asking for trouble!"

However, if they had not entered the Da'an Coach House, it would not have been their turn to rent the good houses in this area.

"Move, let's move here as soon as possible and never live in that smelly and expensive Yexiang Lane again!"

But there were so many good houses on Da'an Street that they were overwhelmed by the choices. It was almost dark, but they still hadn't made a decision.

The worker who showed them the house smiled and said, "Uncle Yan, moving is a big deal, don't worry, we'll continue looking tomorrow until we find one that suits our taste."

"Hey, hey, hey, we're not in a hurry. Let's wait and see." Yan Da and the others responded happily. After thanking the worker, they hurried home to tell their family the good news.

The next day, they got up before dawn and rushed to the government office. However, they were afraid of arriving too early and being scolded by the people there, so they squatted under the eaves of a shop on the street, wrapped in cotton jackets and waiting.

It was past noon when he was about to enter the government office when he met Zhao Yongcheng's grandparents, Qin Jiang, Huang Jia and others.

"Uncle Zhao, Mr. Qin, Brother Qin!" Yan Da and his friends were overjoyed to see familiar faces. Their fear of the government office was also alleviated. They ran over excitedly and asked, "Why are you here?"

Uncle Qin and the others were also very happy and replied, "Come and accompany Uncle Zhao to get back the property that was defrauded."

Because of Boss Ma's incident, the Zhao family's case was postponed for a few days. Also because of Boss Ma's incident, the yamen runners who had been working night after night became angry and tortured Zhao Yongliang's children, grandchildren, sons-in-law and grandchildren three times a day.

That group of evildoers couldn't bear it any longer and confessed everything about how Zhao Yongliang cheated Zhao Yongcheng of money to buy houses, shops and land. They also hurriedly provided evidence, fearing that it would be too late and the chance to atone for their sins would be snatched away by other relatives.

"I heard from Old Chen that Zhao Yongliang was still determined to die rather than surrender, and wanted to use his death to bite back at the government and Uncle Zhao. But the government didn't give him this opportunity at all, and the punishment was all imposed on his children and grandchildren. He was betrayed by his relatives before he could even start to show his power."

"After the old guy heard the news, he vomited blood on the spot. He didn't die, but he won't last long." Huang Yanglong said happily, with a look on his face saying, "Look, this young master is well-informed."

After hearing this, Zhao Yongcheng felt a little depressed, but he did not speak for Zhao Yongliang. He knew: "He deserved it... Let's go in."

"Hey, let's go in together to give ourselves courage." Yan Da and the others smiled embarrassedly and followed Zhao Yongcheng and the others into the government office.

Uncle Qin didn't go in... Before the imperial decree of amnesty came down, Grandpa Qin didn't want Uncle Qin to meet the officials in the government office to avoid any complications.

With Huang Yanglong present, Chen Bantou and Luo Shiye came to see them quickly, took them to the household registration office, and withdrew the silver from the Yan, Zhang, Liu, Wang and Liu families.

"The Yan family has seventeen and a half years' worth of protection money, plus fifty taels of reward money, a total of seventy-one taels... Take it, sign and put your fingerprints on it." said the household clerk.

He actually gave a reward of fifty taels of silver!

Yan Da almost fainted, trembling, "This, this, this...are you really giving me this much?"

Master Luo: "Master Yan, check it quickly. Once it is correct, please put your handprint on it and collect the money. The government office is very busy and we don't have much time to spare for you."

The Ma family's house was raided, and in order to settle the matter as soon as possible, the boss behind the Ma family gave the Ma family's mansion and all the things hidden in the Ma family to the government. The government made a fortune from this, so it decided to give it back to the Yan family.

However, the government could not touch the Jinfu Casino, the shops outside the Ma family, the farm and other properties, as they all belonged to that owner.

"Hey hey hey, that's right, little one." Yan Da broke out in a cold sweat and had no idea what to do.

Huang Yanglong was good at accounting and quickly settled the account for him: "Yes, press your fingerprint quickly and get the money."

"Oh, yes." Yan Da hurriedly pressed his fingerprint and took the banknote. He felt dizzy and didn't know what year it was.

Soon, the Zhang family, the Liu family, the Wang family, and the Liu Sheng family also received the compensation for their self-defense money and bounty, but they did not receive as much as the Yan family. After all, the Yan family was the first to make the contribution and received a larger reward.

But the four families were very content. Dozens of taels of silver were enough for them to marry their sons.

……

Zhao Yongcheng's family was more troublesome. It took more than an hour to sort out the files, calculate the amount of money that was defrauded that year, and the appreciation of the money over the years.

Fortunately, Zhao Yongliang did not squander the money. Instead, he used all the cheated money to buy houses, shops and land for his own family. Therefore, Zhao Yongcheng not only got back the 530 taels of silver that he was cheated of, but also received an extra 100 taels of silver in interest.

More than six hundred taels were enough for him to settle down in the capital city, raise his two grandsons, and set up a small business for them.

Zhao Yongcheng was very grateful and knelt down before the government officials: "Thank you so much for giving my family justice. I am very grateful!"

The two grandsons also knelt down, and their words of thanks and auspiciousness were free of charge, which made the people in the yamen feel good.

Zhao Bantou asked: "Uncle Zhao, do you want to go meet Zhao Yongliang?"

Zhao Yongcheng thought about it and shook his head: "My family's property has been recovered, and my family did not kill his family. My family does not owe him anything. There is no need to meet him and listen to his curse words."

Ha, Zhao Bantou laughed: "You really know Zhao Yongliang. He is vomiting blood and seriously ill, but he still insists on scolding you every day, saying that you have no conscience and don't care about the relationship between cousins."

There were also many vicious words cursing that Zhao Yongcheng's grandson would die suddenly and have no descendants, but Zhao Bantou did not say them.

After hearing this, Zhao Yongcheng felt more relieved... This kind of cousin is not worth his energy, so let it be.
