How did such immense wealth fall into my family?

Chapter 202 might help you prove your mother's innocence.
The little dog scratched its head. "Grandma, what do we do now?"

Old Dong thought for a moment. "With such a big commotion, it's impossible to investigate quietly. Let's lock down the city."

The little dog looked towards Prefect Sun.

Prefect Sun was eager to redeem himself. "Seale it! Seale it immediately! I'll go seal it myself!"

The little dog had no sympathy for Prefect Sun. If he had just slightly restrained Steward Zhong in the past, Steward Zhong wouldn't have thought Liaoyang Prefecture was his domain. "Just send your capable henchman. You also need to help us arrest Steward Zhong's accomplices. We're new here and don't know who Steward Zhong is on good terms with or who he has close ties with."

Prefect Sun quickly selected a few people. "Go quickly."

"Yes."

The little dog looked at the three bald boys and Wu Niu and Liu Niu. "Don't run around, I'm afraid they'll do something rash."

"Okay." Eighteen has always been very pragmatic.

After Eighteen finished speaking, Little Dog Sheng then said to Nineteen, Twentieth, Five Oxen, and Six Oxen, “Now is not the time to play the hero; this is a grave crime.”

Nineteen, Twenty: "Grandpa, don't worry. We definitely won't run around."

Wu Niu: "Uncle, if something happens, can I and Liu Niu go first? We're taller than you."

Liu Niu: "Yes."

Eighteen: "No need. Let's go over there and discuss how we should cooperate if someone tries to arrest us. Our goal is to prevent anyone from being caught by them."

Wu Niu: "Okay. Should we call my fourth sister too?"

Eighteen: "No need, she's a girl. She can keep an eye on things for us from behind."

"it is good."

After the three little bald guys and two calves left, the little dog Sheng rubbed his forehead. "Grandma Aunt, don't go out to catch people, just keep an eye on them."

"Okay." He had watched these three little bald boys grow up, and Wu Niu and Liu Niu called her "Auntie" every day.

Xiao Gousheng made the arrangements before discussing the arrest with Prefect Sun.

On the other side, just as General Song finished adjusting the defense map, his personal guards told him that Prefect Sun had ordered the city gates sealed off.

General Song frowned. So what if he arrested a wicked servant? He's really making a mountain out of a molehill. "Understood, you may leave..."

Before he could finish speaking, the guards announced that Wei Liefeng had arrived.

As soon as Wei Liefeng entered, General Song said, "You've come to tell me about the city lockdown, haven't you? I already know."

"No. I think Steward Zhong might really be colluding with foreign tribes."

General Song wanted to say it was impossible, but his nephew was always clever. "Why do you say that?"

"They found something before sealing off the city. I guess they must have discovered something among what they found. Given their arrogance, if they wanted to seal off the city, they would have done so immediately."

"Damn it!" General Song stood up from his chair. "If that Zhong fellow is really colluding with foreign tribes, I'll be punished too."

Just as Xiaogou Sheng and Prefect Sun sent their men out, General Song arrived.

General Song cupped his hands in greeting to Wei Chenglin. "Greetings, Young Master Wei."

Wei Chenglin returned the greeting. "Greetings, General Song."

"I heard you've sealed off the city?"

"Hmm." Wei Chenglin took out the letter. "There are some others, but this one best illustrates the point."

General Song was so angry after reading it that he kicked Steward Zhong. "Damn it, he's already become the second brother-in-law of the emperor and he's still not satisfied."

Manager Zhong regretted it, but it was too late.

General Song kicked Wei Chenglin twice more before asking, "What can I do to help?"

Wei Chenglin looked at the little dog, Sheng.

The little dog bowed to General Song. "Greetings, General Song. My surname is Qian, and I am the fourth son. You can call me Miss Qian Si. Could you help me deliver a letter to the Emperor? Your speed is certainly faster than mine."

General Song was surprised. He glanced at Prefect Sun, as if to say: Is this little girl in charge here?

Prefect Sun nodded. General Song hesitated for a moment before bowing slightly to Xiao Gousheng. "Greetings, Miss Qian. Miss Qian, have you finished writing your letter?"

"Not yet. I'll go write it now, Uncle."

"Yes!" Eighteen responded and walked over. "What's wrong?"

"Help me write a letter. My handwriting is terrible."

"Row."

As soon as Xiao Gou Sheng and Shi Ba left, General Song approached Wei Chenglin. "Young Master Wei, who is this Miss Qian Si?"

Wei Chenglin thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a solution. Finally, he brought up Jiang Ruiheng: "The sister-in-law of the Duke of Jin's heir."

General Song felt that Wei Chenglin was just giving him the runaround. Prince Jiang was indeed capable, but the Emperor wouldn't treat that timid girl any differently just because she was his sister-in-law. "So that's how it is. Did you know about Zhong's treason before you came, or did you only find out after you arrived?"

"I only found out when I got here."

"You guys are pretty amazing."

"It's Zhong's own fault for bringing this upon himself."

"What do you mean?"

Wei Chenglin recounted what had happened. "He abused the servants every day, and of course, the servants wanted to kill him too."

General Song: "..." He must treat his servants better from now on. "It was indeed his own doing."

As they were talking, Xiao Gousheng had already finished writing the letter. "Thank you for your help."

"No trouble at all." General Song thought to himself as he accepted the letter: This isn't a tiger girl, she's a fox. That old bastard surnamed Zhong would never dream he'd be defeated by a little girl. "If you need anything, just send someone to find me."

"it is good."

"I'll leave you a few men to command."

"Okay, thank you."

"You're welcome. I've sent someone to deliver the message."

"it is good."

Wei Liefeng greeted General Song upon his return. "Uncle Song."

"Hmm." General Song took a sip of tea before looking at Wei Liefeng and said, "You guessed right, that old bastard surnamed Zhong is indeed colluding with foreign tribes. By the way, did they find out where he hid the things from the servants who were abused by Zhong?"

So that's how it is? It seems he still has a lot to learn. "Prince Wei is quite clever."

"No, it's not him. He's a notorious good-for-nothing."

"Is there a powerful person by his side?"

"I guess so. Let me tell you, that 'tiger girl' you mentioned isn't tiger at all."

What do you mean? "Uncle Song, the expert you're talking about isn't that timid girl, is it?"

"It's that tigress."

"..." You really can't judge a book by its cover.

While pouring tea, General Song said, "Miss Qian is so capable, why don't you tell her about your situation? She might have a solution."

Wei Liefeng thought for a moment. "I'll visit Steward Zhong once her matter is settled."

"Hmm. Her way of doing things is a bit different from others, which might help you prove your mother's innocence."

The puppy was lost after leaving the capital. The Emperor had already complained to the Duke of Jin several times.

Duke Jin wondered if he should send someone to tell Xiaogou Sheng to write a letter to the Emperor about what happened on their journey. So the Emperor sent someone to find him.

He thought the Emperor was going to complain to him again. But instead, the Emperor gave him a letter as soon as he arrived. Seeing the signature on the envelope, the Duke of Jin thought that the little dog Sheng had had a change of heart. Unexpectedly… “Your Majesty, what do you mean?”

The Emperor glanced in the direction of the Imperial Uncle's residence. "Rescind their official positions."
