Zheng Yongwang was a scoundrel who bullied those above him, concealed the truth from them, and exploited the common folk.
Relying on his position as the estate manager, he had committed no end of evil deeds. As for his claim that the land on the estate was barren and could not produce grain, that was utter nonsense.
The grain produced had all been quietly resold by him. He had deliberately falsified the accounts, and in reality, he had pocketed everything. Furthermore, Zheng Yongwang had gagged the people on the estate in advance, and Zizhu had exerted a great deal of effort just to pry their mouths open.
