After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.
Chapter 449: The Filial Daughter
"Also, your mule cart has been seized by the government. Go to the government to get it back yourself, don't ask me."
Wu Xingzong was stunned, then he remembered and said excitedly: "Uncle and Aunt, our family's property is in the government office. Now that the case is closed, we have to ask the government office to return our family property. Otherwise, what will we eat and drink?"
Wu Er's wife's eyes gleamed, and she said to Wu Xingzong: "Zong'er, you are the eldest grandson of the eldest branch of the family. You are the only one who is qualified to negotiate with the government. I will accompany you to get the property now."
Wu Xingzong shrank back, afraid to go to the government office to negotiate, but when Wu Er's wife praised him, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's go and get back the seized property."
"Mrs. Wu, you have to speak nicely. If you anger the government and get detained again, don't blame me, the head of the village, for not reminding you." Village chief Zhou gave a responsible reminder. He went to see Huang Laoer's family and was relieved to see that they were doing well and were eating the cakes brought by the Huang family.
"Wait for me!" The Wu clan leader was afraid that Wu Xingzong and his men would anger the county government again, so he hurriedly took his men to follow them.
Wu Xingzong and his men had suffered a lot in the yamen, so they didn't dare to act arrogantly this time. The yamen had no intention of keeping the Wu family's property, so they asked Master Han to lead them to the yamen warehouse to get the property.
It went so smoothly that the Wu Er couple, Wu Xingzong, and even Wu Xingzu, who had been gloomy since he lost his ears, were all excited.
but……
"This is the box. Sign your name and put your fingerprint on the booklet, and you can take it away."
"Why is there only one box? On the day of the incident, County Lieutenant Yang clearly escorted a lot of things back to the county government office. There were more than one box of gold and silver alone!" Wu Xingzu was the first to get angry and questioned with a gloomy face.
Wu Er's wife was afraid that he would anger the yamen officials, so she hurried to push Wu Xingzong and choked up, saying, "Zong'er, when your grandfather was young, he brought back a lot of gold and silver. Our family's wealth is more than this... There are only these things left, how can you marry a girl from the prefecture?"
Master Han sneered, Wu Fengshi's method of adding fuel to the fire was really despicable.
But Wu Xingzong was fooled by such a lowly trick and said angrily, "Master Han, the number is wrong. My family's wealth is more than this. Where did the rest go? Take it out quickly, otherwise, otherwise..."
"What else? Let me tell you, this is all the wealth left in the Wu family. The government didn't embezzle a penny." Mr. Han threw a list to them and said, "This is the list we recorded when we searched your house. Take a look for yourself."
Wu Xingzong hurriedly picked it up, looked at the contents of the box, and soon shouted, "No, it doesn't match the list... The list says there are sixteen pieces of gold the size of a finger, but now there are only five pieces of gold left!"
"There was also silver, thirty-four kilograms, thirty-four kilograms, and now there is only the bottom of a box left, with at most a hundred taels of silver... Many ornaments, two jade bracelets, and a piece of jade are gone. Two land deeds, house deeds, and the deed to a shop are also gone..."
"Where did they go? Where did all these things go? How dare you say that you didn't embezzle anything?"
It was the first time that Wu Xingzong knew that his family was so rich, but he had been working as a clerk in the Lin family funeral supplies shop for many years, being ordered around by others.
"Oh my god, I was supposed to be living the life of a young master, but now most of my wealth is gone!"
Before he could enjoy it, his wealth was gone. Wu Xingzong went crazy and rushed to the government storehouse: "My family's wealth is in there, I want it back!"
Bang bang bang!
He was knocked down by the yamen runners before he even reached the warehouse door.
Two long sticks were crossed on Wu Xingzong's back, pinning him down.
Wu Er's wife pushed Wu Er.
Wu Er immediately said, "Master Han, the returned property does not match the list. The government should give my family the missing amount!"
Master Han sneered and pointed at the list on the ground and said, "Look carefully at what is written on the list."
Wu Er was stunned and hurriedly picked up the list thrown away by Wu Xingzong, only to see many red and blue lines drawn on the list.
Master Han: "The red line was withheld by the government. First, it was used as a fine for the crimes committed by Wu Lizhang and Wu Da, second, it was used to return the money that was extorted from the villagers by your Wu family, and third, it was used to cover the expenses of your Wu family in the government."
Oh, you think you didn’t have to pay back for doing something bad and causing trouble for the government?
"The one with the blue line was taken away by your daughter Wu Xingnan." Mr. Han said something that caused an internal conflict in the Wu family: "On the tenth day of March, as soon as the government office closed the case, Wu Xingnan came with the Yan family and a letter from the head of the village, Wu. The letter said that the Wu family would give Wu Xingnan half of their property as a dowry."
"And the government has checked it and it is authentic."
The letter was indeed genuine, but it was written by Village Chief Wu to deceive Wu Xingnan so that she would continue to be loyal to her family after marrying into a wealthy family.
Master Han smiled and said, "So, if you have any dissatisfaction, go find Wu Xingnan. The government is right."
The Wu family was stunned.
After a while...
"Wu Xingnan, Wu Xingnan, she's so cruel. She robbed half of the family's wealth without saying a word." Wu Xingzu laughed out loud and pointed at Wu Er and his wife and said, "You raised such a filial daughter. Her family is in such a state, and she even stabbed herself before leaving. Hahahaha!"
I have to say that Aunt Huai's teachings are useful. In terms of not doing things for the sake of selflessness, Wu Xingnan is very qualified.
Mr. and Mrs. Wu were very upset after being tricked by their own daughter.
Wu Er was furious: "Unfilial daughter, isn't her family good enough to her? How dare she treat them like this!"
He added, "The letter is fake. She used the fake letter to swindle the family's wealth. This is against the law. I will report it to the police!"
Master Han said, "The letter has been verified, it is true. If you are not convinced, you can go and argue with Wu Xingnan yourself, but if you make trouble in the government office again, I will throw you into jail immediately!"
The Wu family members were afraid of prison, and they immediately fell silent when they heard this.
"My, this box is all my first wife's property, there is no share for the second wife!" Wu Xingzong suddenly became smart and said to Master Han: "Master Han, you have to make the decision for me. We can't let the second wife take away my first wife's property!"
But he was smart too early.
As soon as these words came out, Wu Er's wife immediately rushed to the box, protecting it tightly, and said to Wu Er: "Dad, go sign and put your fingerprints quickly, and let's go home."
"Yes, yes, yes." Wu Er took advantage of Wu Xingzong being held down and hurriedly signed and pressed his fingerprints.
Wu Er's wife glanced at the yelling Wu Xingzong, and then said to Master Han, "Master Han, my nephew did not mean to rush into the government storehouse. He was just impulsive. Please give him some leniency and don't put him in jail."
Everyone present: "..."
Wu Wu clan elder: "..."
As expected of Wu Xingnan’s mother, she is such a black-hearted person!
Master Han sneered, took out ten taels of silver from the box, and said, "Wu Xingzong tried to break into the government storehouse, so he will be fined ten taels of silver."
After saying this, he issued them a fine on the spot.
The plan failed and he lost an extra ten taels of silver. Wu Er's wife's face turned dark.
The Wuwu clan elder almost died on the spot, and he jumped up and down and cursed: "Shut up, if you make trouble again, I will expel you from the clan immediately, expel you from the clan!"
He hurried to apologize to Master Han.
Master Han only reminded: "Wu Wu clan elders, you Wujia Village must keep a good eye on the people and don't let them commit crimes again."
"Yes, yes, don't worry, government office." The Wu Wu clan elder said with his head down, bending down. He was less than sixty years old, but he looked as old as an octogenarian.
Master Han did not say any more harsh words, and started talking about the matter of collecting the bodies: "The government office has reviewed it, and there is no need for another autopsy. You can go to the charity cemetery today and take the bodies of the Wu family father and son back for burial."
