How did such immense wealth fall into my family?

Chapter 201 Accidentally Made Another Great Contribution

Wei Liefeng laughed upon hearing this. "Uncle Song, please don't joke around. How old am I? Besides, that little girl is both dark-skinned and fierce. I just don't want Wang Tiezhu and the others to be disappointed. You know, if they get caught up with Zhong Yanwang, then the matter they're in charge of might be abandoned."

General Song thought about it and agreed. "Alright. There are two small houses in the south of the city. Those two houses are neither under the name of the Emperor's brother-in-law, nor under the name of King Zhong or his confidants. But King Zhong goes there secretly once a month. Think of a way to tell the Duke of Wei's heir and that tiger girl about those houses."

"Okay. Thank you, Uncle Song. Uncle Song, have you discovered anything else?"

"That's it. Zhong Yanwang is very cunning. I didn't intend to go against the Empress and the Crown Prince, so I withdrew my men after finding those two residences." He was mainly afraid that Zhong Yanwang would interfere in military affairs, so he found two incriminating pieces to hold in his hands.

After General Song told Wei Liefeng the location of the house, Wei Liefeng thanked General Song again before leaving.

Wei Liefeng found a place to change into beggar's clothes before heading to the Zhong family's house.

Before he even reached the Zhong family's residence, he saw several groups of soldiers rushing towards them from that direction.

Wei Liefeng quickly moved to the side of the road.

In the blink of an eye, several groups of soldiers ran past him.

Wei Liefeng recognized them as Xiaogousheng's troops. Wei Liefeng had a guess in his mind. Soon, his guess was confirmed.

General Song was adjusting the defense plan when his personal guard's voice came from outside. "General, Young Master Wei has arrived."

General Song put away the defense map. "Let him in."

"Yes."

A moment later, Wei Liefeng came in. "Uncle Song."

"Hmm. Did you tell them?"

“No.” Wei Liefeng recounted what had just happened. “I went over to take a look. They not only knew that the two small houses belonged to Zhong Yanwang, but they also knew that the two small shops on East Street and a brokerage firm on West Street belonged to Zhong Yanwang.”

"Zhong Yanwang is probably doomed this time. Do you think they already knew his whereabouts?"

"It must be. It took me three months to find those two small houses. They couldn't have found them on their first visit. And Zhong Yanwang's confidants couldn't have sold him out so quickly."

"Could their claim of gathering and caring for the orphans of fallen soldiers be just a pretext?"

"No. You can't just say things like that."

That's true. If we say something and then don't do it, not only will the people be unhappy, but the soldiers will be too. "Uncle Song, you're busy. I just came to let you know so you're aware of the situation."

"Yes. If you need anything, come to Uncle Song. Uncle Song will definitely help if he can."

"Thank you, Uncle Song. Uncle Song, I'll be going now."

"Ah."

After Wei Liefeng left, General Song couldn't help but think: If Brother Wei were still alive, this child wouldn't have to suffer so much. And what about Old Master Wei? How could he have believed that scoundrel's words?

On the other side, Wei Chenglin was a little puzzled when he saw several captains under Xiaogousheng leading their men out.

Prefect Sun was also puzzled. "Your Excellency, what are they doing?"

Before Wei Chenglin could figure out what to say, Steward Zhong interrupted, "He must have gone to get reinforcements. Wei Chenglin, even if you bring your father here, this won't end well. You can just wait to go to jail."

Prefect Sun wished he could shut Steward Zhong up. "Steward Zhong, it's best to be lenient. Continuing this saga won't be good for you or Prince Wei."

The advisor said, "Yes. Do you change your servants so frequently?"

"They all died of their own illnesses."

Prefect Sun couldn't take it anymore. "Whether he died of illness or not can be found out with a simple investigation."

"Investigate me? I am the Imperial Brother-in-law's wet nurse. Investigating me is investigating the Imperial Brother-in-law."

"you!"

"What do you mean, 'I'? You just wait, I'll make you pay!"

Prefect Sun was nearly driven mad with anger. "Young Master Wei, what do you think of this matter?"

Wei Chenglin didn't know what to do either. He looked at his attendant. "Go and invite the young master over."

"Yes."

A moment later, Twenty came running out. "Dad, you were looking for me?"

"Hmm. Did you find any... any... compelling evidence inside?"

"No."

Wei Chenglin: This is troublesome. Prefect Sun: For a moment, I don't know whether to be happy or disappointed?
Steward Zhong: "Hahahaha... Just wait for the Empress and His Highness the Crown Prince to punish you. Hahahaha..."

bump!
Twenty walked up to Steward Zhong and kicked him. "You're about to die and you're still laughing?"

"You little brat, you dare kick me? I'll send you and your dad to jail together."

bump!
Twenty kicked Steward Zhong again. "So what if I kicked you? You beast."

bump!
Twenty kicked him again. "Stay put. If you make another sound, I'll gag you."

"You..."

bump!
"you……"

bump!
Manager Zhong dared not speak.

Twenty wiggled his toes. "You're smart enough to know your place. Dad, is there anything else? If not, I'm going inside."

"Yes." His son is really impressive. "Where did your Uncle Wu and the others go?" One of the squad leaders who went out earlier was surnamed Wu.

"You can't say that yet. You'll find out soon enough. If he keeps making a fuss, just gag him."

"Okay. Um, does your aunt have a good idea of ​​what to do?"

"Yes. Don't worry. I'm going back now."

"alright."

Prefect Sun glanced at the young man's back, then at Wei Chenglin's large face. Which of these two was the father? "Young Master Wei, what do you think?"

"My son told me to wait."

Fine. It's already like this anyway.

Just as Magistrate Sun was about to fall asleep, Captain Wu and his men returned.

When Steward Zhong and his trusted confidants saw the people Captain Wu and his men were escorting and the boxes they were carrying, their faces turned pale instantly.

Wei Chenglin's eyes lit up immediately. "You found the evidence?"

"Yes. I'll go and invite Fourth Miss and all the young masters out."

"Go quickly, go quickly." No more jail time. Whew...

After a while, the puppy came out with only one line left.

The steward of the 20th court bell looked over. "Still calling?"

Steward Zhong's face turned ashen. "How did you know?"

The little dog glanced at him sideways. "You don't need to know that. Just wait to die. Open the box."

"Yes."

After Captain Wu and his men opened the box, Xiao Gou Sheng looked at Prefect Sun. "Prefect Sun, please."

"Fourth Miss, please." No wonder she dared to surround the Zhong residence as soon as she arrived; it turns out she already knew Steward Zhong's background and figured it out.

The group walked towards the boxes.

At first, everyone's expressions were quite calm.

When they reached the twelfth box, everyone's expressions changed. Inside the box was a letter with a foreign totem on the envelope.

Everyone: "..."

Little Dog: Really? She just said it casually.

Prefect Sun: It's over, he's going to be implicated by that old man.

Wei Chenglin: Does the Emperor's brother-in-law know about this?
Old Dong: That brat has done it again.

18: Is his little niece's mouth blessed?

Nineteen: That old geezer is really bold.

20: That old geezer probably won't even have the chance to go to jail.

Master Daoyi: This is truly a case of good deeds being rewarded.
