Favoring Concubines and Destroying Wife: Reborn, I Married to a Rich Man and Destroyed His Whole Fam

"I gave 10,000 taels of silver before, but the wife of the Ningyuan Earl did not accept it. So my son still found a way and asked for help from his connections to give it again, but they haven't given a response yet..."

Mrs. Tian listened to her sons' words and her face was filled with anxiety.

I thought my daughter would soon become the first wife of the Li family, but who knew that Mrs. Meng was so powerful. Prince Chen even called Mrs. Meng "Aunt" in public.

That was Prince Chen's aunt. Not only did Meng have Prince Chen as her backer, she also had Princess Zhaoyang. Meng was actually Princess Zhaoyang's childhood friend, and they had been exchanging letters over the years.

"Send someone to give out another 10,000 taels of silver. I don't believe that the wife of the Ningyuan Earl's son will not be tempted by 20,000 taels of silver. This is just to ask her to say something nice, not to make it difficult..."

Old Madam Tian gave instructions to her sons and daughters-in-law.

"Son, get ready now."

Over the years, the Tian family has followed Lord Li and has done good business, and their family wealth has increased significantly.

But just one or two days after they sent out the 12,000 taels of silver, and before they could receive a reply, the Tian family was surrounded.

"Oh no, old lady, master, there are many government officials outside the mansion, and they have been ordered to surround our house..."

Upon hearing this, Old Madam Tian's face changed drastically. They had been very cautious these days and didn't dare to be arrogant anymore. Their attitude towards Meng and Li Wei also changed drastically, and they even gave them a lot of gifts.

Could it be that Meng and Li Wei and the others slandered Princess Zhaoyang again, so Princess Zhaoyang took action again?

"Boss, go out and see what's going on. Send someone to your cousin and aunt and ask them to help think of a solution..."

Old Madam Tian and Mr. Tian still thought that it was Princess Zhaoyang and County Lord Chaoan who took action.

"Yes."

Master Tian sent someone to sneak out through the back door and the dog hole to inform Lord Li and Madam Li.

"Sir, it's an official sent by Governor Jiang, who said he wants to take you and the Second Master to the government office for investigation..."

what?

When Mr. Tian heard this, his face suddenly turned panicky.

investigation? Investigate what?

Could it be that they are investigating some issues regarding salt transportation?

"Master Tian, ​​please."

Master Tian Da and Master Tian Er were taken to the prefect's mansion.

Not only that, several families were also arrested and taken to the prefect's mansion.

Gu Rong was very happy at this time. He had just received another 10,000 taels of silver from the Tian family.

Gu Rong had never thought that it would be so easy to collect money with Yun Zhao's influence. In the past, she would have to spend several years, or even ten years, to save up 10,000 or 20,000 taels of silver. But these officials and some aristocratic families in Jiangnan could easily give 10,000 taels of silver.

Moreover, the way they give money is not to simply give money or to ask for an official position or something like that.

"Madam, something bad has happened. I just received news. The Tian family has been sealed off by the government. The eldest and second eldest masters of the Tian family have been arrested and taken to the governor's mansion for investigation..."

what?

Gu Rong was so shocked that the teacup in his hand dropped.

How could this be?

What crime did the Tian family commit? Will they reveal the matter of the 20,000 taels of silver?

Could it be that the Tian family really committed a serious crime?

"Send someone to investigate and find out what's going on."

Although Gu Rong was extremely anxious, he still pretended to be calm and gave orders to his men.

If the Tian family really gave her up, she would let her subordinates take the blame and say that she did not receive the money.
