How did such immense wealth fall into my family?

Chapter 200 Whether you can escape from the demon's den depends on yourselves.
Prefect Sun rushed as fast as he could, but still couldn't make it. When he arrived, Xiao Gou Sheng was already inside, and Steward Zhong and his cronies were all lying on the ground. "Young Master Wei, is there some misunderstanding here?"

Just as Wei Chenglin was about to bring up the story that Xiao Gousheng had made up, Steward Zhong roared, "What misunderstanding? He's definitely trying to bring down the Empress and the Crown Prince. I'm going to the capital to find the Empress and the Crown Prince."

Wei Chenglin: He knew that Steward Zhong would bring up the Empress and the Crown Prince.

Prefect Sun: What are you yelling about? All I can say is that you're just a steward. Even if Prince Wei were to chop you up, the Empress and the Crown Prince wouldn't make him pay with his life.

Prefect Sun gave his advisor a wink.

The advisor walked up to Steward Zhong and whispered, "Steward Zhong, you should think about whether there's anything you shouldn't have in your household."

Manager Zhong wasn't worried at all. He was always cautious, and Wei Chenglin was an incompetent fool.

Manager Zhong glanced at Wei Chenglin with disdain and said loudly, "Thank you for reminding me, Master. I, Zhong, am upright and honest."

The advisor shook his head, seeing that Steward Zhong still thought it was Prince Wei trying to make things difficult for him. Prince Wei was notoriously averse to officialdom. Prince Wei wasn't insane. Prince Wei was clearly acting under someone's orders. It was easy to guess who that person was.

Unfortunately, Steward Zhong, having been a local tyrant in Liaoyang Prefecture for so many years, thought he was a real emperor.

Prefect Sun, seeing his stubbornness, wanted to kick him. "Young Master Wei, please don't take it to heart; he's just having trouble accepting things right now. What brings you here today?"

"Ahem! I... um... I am now an imperial censor."

Prefect Sun already knew. "Greetings, Your Excellency. Your Excellency, is there some misunderstanding here?"

"No. Steward Zhong is causing trouble on the frontier. I suspect he is trying to collude with foreign tribes from within."

Prefect Sun: Is the Emperor planning to uproot the Imperial Brother-in-law's residence? "Your Excellency, you can't say things like that lightly."

Steward Zhong: "You're talking nonsense!"

"I... um... I'm not making this up. I'm asking you, do the servants in Steward Zhong's household not live past six months?"

Prefect Sun: What does this have to do with foreign tribes? "I don't know."

Manager Zhong: "They all signed contracts that are binding on them. What does their poor health have to do with me?"

Wei Chenglin ignored Steward Zhong. Looking directly into Prefect Sun's eyes, Wei Chenglin said, "This is the border region. How can the people feel comfortable with him doing this?"

Prefect Sun: "This..."

Wei Chenglin: "He is undermining public morale."

Prefect Sun: "..." Isn't this a bit too far-fetched?
Steward Zhong: "Don't try to pin this on me. You just want to bring down the Empress and the Crown Prince."

Wei Chenglin: "Prefect Sun, you should be thinking about how to avoid being implicated by him, not asking me if there's some misunderstanding?"

Prefect Sun was extremely frustrated. So what if a few servants died? How did that become a matter of unsettling the people?

Steward Zhong: "Don't try to scare us. Neither I nor Prefect Sun are easily frightened."

Prefect Sun: Shut up! The Crown Prince Wei dared to pin such a serious crime on you; it must have been at the Emperor's behest.

Inside, Xiao Gousheng gathered everyone from the Zhong family together. "Wang Tiezhu, which one is your sister?"

"Hey." Wang Tiezhu spotted his sister immediately. "Sister! Sister!" Wang Tiezhu called out as he ran towards his sister.

Wang Tiehua could hardly believe his eyes. He dragged himself towards Wang Tiezhu on one leg. "Brother, brother."

"What happened to your leg?"

"It's okay, my leg is fine."

"You call this nothing? Don't move, I'm coming over, I'm coming over."

"Okay." Wang Tiehua said while wiping away her tears, "Brother, I never thought I would see you again."

"I told you I would save you. I've been trying to find a way."

"Thank you, brother. Brother, is Butler Zhong dead?"

"Not yet. Did he break your leg?"

"Yes. He said I walk too loudly." "You bastard!"

Little Dog Sheng looked around and saw that most of the people had injuries. He then looked at Doctor Chang. "Grandpa Chang, thank you for your help."

"No trouble at all. You two come over here too, I'll teach you how to treat it."

"Okay." Little Dog Sheng led the three little bald guys and Wu Niu and Liu Niu to follow.

The servants of the Zhong family were initially quite nervous, but they gradually relaxed when they saw that Xiaogou Sheng had someone treat their injuries.

Wang Tiehua's leg had to be broken and reattached.

Wang Tiezhu hated his grandmother to death. "Sister, just bear with it."

"Brother, don't be sad. I've already gotten away with it. I heard that a girl was beaten to death because Steward Zhong didn't bow to him immediately."

“I’m not upset. Let me tell you, we’re going to have a good life from now on.” Wang Tiezhu told Wang Tiehua what Xiaogou Sheng had told them.

Wang Tiehua was delighted to hear this. But then she wondered, "Will Grandma let us go?"

“This is the Emperor’s order. How dare she disobey the Emperor? Besides, she sold you out. You are no longer her granddaughter.”

Wang Tiehua was relieved.

It took Doctor Chang and Little Dog Sheng more than three hours to finish their work.

Old Dong Qi came over only after Xiao Gousheng had finished his work. "We searched twice but didn't find anything useful."

Xiao Gou Sheng raised an eyebrow. "This Steward Zhong is quite cautious."

"Hmm. If we can't find any evidence, things will get complicated."

The little dog pointed to the wounded servants. "Aren't they the evidence?"

"...Fine. You have the Emperor backing you up, so you can call the shots."

"That is."

Snapped!
Snapped!
Xiao Gou Sheng clapped his hands and looked at the servants of the Zhong family, saying, "Listen up, all of you. If I can find evidence of Steward Zhong's crimes, I can kill him. If I kill Steward Zhong, you will all be free. But if I can't find evidence of Steward Zhong's crimes, then I will have to release him."

“You know Steward Zhong better than I do. My men have searched the Zhong mansion thoroughly but haven’t found any evidence of his crimes. You serve him and his henchmen every day, surely you know something?”

"Think about it carefully."

Whether you can get out of this hellhole is up to you.

"Alright, start thinking about it. Think carefully."

"I'll say it again, whether you can get out of this hellhole depends on yourselves."

She refused to believe that these people knew nothing about it. She also refused to believe that these people didn't want to kill Steward Zhong.

Old Dong Qi: "..." So, this little girl never expected them to find anything useful. "Did you already know we wouldn't find anything?"

"No. I've never dealt with him before, so I didn't know he was so cautious."

"Aren't you afraid you won't be able to find evidence?"

"I'm not afraid." She has her uncle, so who is she afraid of? Besides, it's a fact that Steward Zhong abused and killed the servants.

Old Dong Qi: "..." This little girl is getting more and more arrogant. "Can we find any evidence at the shop?"

"I doubt it."

Then we can only rely on these servants.

Outside, Wei Liefeng hesitated for a moment before going to find General Song, who was in charge of guarding Liaoyang.

General Song was quite pleased to see Wei Liefeng. After learning why he had come to see him, General Song glanced at Wei Liefeng sideways. "That little girl picked the peaches you worked so hard to grow, and you're still helping her? Have you taken a liking to that little girl?"
