Ye Hongtu has always been concerned about Ye Chuyao's thoughts.

At this moment, hearing her say this, his face suddenly lit up with joy.

"Will Lu Zhixing personally lead the attack at midnight tomorrow night?"

"Haha, it seems like God is on our side. With this news, Lu Zhixing will be doomed."

"However, I still need to discuss this matter with my brother-in-law in advance."

Ye Hongtu kept thinking about it.

Mrs. Xiao looked at her daughter deeply.

She also felt relieved. When she learned that the Xiao family would be framed and the entire family would be wiped out, she was extremely worried.

Although Ye Hongtu repeatedly assured her that he would keep the Xiao family safe, she was still worried.

Now that he has such accurate intelligence, with Ye Hongtu's ability, he can definitely take down Lu Zhixing.

When the time comes, the Xiao family's calamity will naturally be resolved.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Xiao was very fortunate in her heart. Fortunately, God gave them a very good daughter. Otherwise, the ending of the Ye family and the Xiao family in the future would probably be very tragic.

.......

Xiao Quan didn't stay in the room for long before Ye Hongtu found an excuse to take him away.

"Hongtu, let me take another look at Yaoyao. It's not easy to come here."

With his sleeve pulled by Ye Hongtu, Xiao Quan still stretched his neck to look at Ye Chuyao.

"Brother, if you want to see Yaoyao, you can always have a chance."

"It's been a while since we brothers have gotten together properly, so we must have a good drink together."

"Besides, I have something very important to discuss with you."

Mrs. Xiao naturally understood what the important thing Ye Hongtu was talking about.

She also persuaded him: "Brother, go ahead, go have a drink."

"When Yaoyao is older, I will take her back to her parents' home to stay for a few more days. Then you can see her every day."

"Sister, are you serious?"

Xiao Quan's eyes lit up and he asked uncertainly.

"Um!"

Mrs. Xiao nodded heavily.

"Haha, okay, Hongtu, let's go. I won't leave until I'm drunk today."

Having said that, Xiao Quan walked out of the room laughing.

"Grandma Liu, ask the kitchen to prepare a few more delicious dishes."

Mrs. Xiao gave instructions to Grandma Liu.

........

Soon, a banquet was ready.

Ye Hongtu dismissed all the servants, and the two of them toasted each other and drank to their heart's content.

After three rounds of drinking, Ye Hongtu suddenly put down his glass and said seriously:

"Brother, do you believe me?"

Xiao Quan was stunned. He saw that Ye Hongtu had something to say, so he put down his cup as well.

Nodded heavily: "Of course I believe you!"

"Just trust me!"

"What I am going to say next is very important. It concerns the survival of the Xiao government."

As soon as Ye Hongtu said this, Xiao Quan's pupils suddenly contracted.

Based on his understanding of this brother-in-law, he is definitely not a person who believes in spreading rumors.

This was a matter of life and death for the Xiao family, so he absolutely could not be careless.

"Hongtu, just say whatever you want to say."

"I want to know, what happened?"

Xiao Quan's tone was extremely serious.

Ye Hongtu took a deep breath and said slowly:

"I have to confirm the news. Tomorrow night at midnight, Lu Zhixing, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, will steal 10,000 taels of silver from the Ministry of Revenue's treasury and replace it with something else."

"Then, join forces with your Xiao Mansion's housekeeper Zhou Tai and find an opportunity to bury the ten thousand taels of silver in your back garden."

Ye Hongtu summarized what was going to happen in just two short sentences.

Hearing this, Xiao Quan stood up immediately.

Due to his excessive movement, the wine glass in front of him was knocked over, and the wine spilled all over the table.

But he didn't care about what was going on. He just stared at Ye Hongtu:

"Hongtu, is this news credible?"

This news was so shocking that he felt a chill down his spine just after hearing it once.

"At least 80% sure!"

Ye Hongtu did not say anything final because the source of the news was difficult to explain.

However, let alone an 80% certainty, even if it was only 10% or 20%, it was worth their extreme caution.

"Are you 80 percent sure?"

"It seems that this news should be true!"

Xiao Quan sat down slowly, poured himself a glass of wine, and then drank it all.

“Why would they do this?”

"What's the motive?"

Xiao Quan muttered to himself.

He couldn't understand why he treated Zhou Tai like a family member.

He really couldn't believe that such a person would betray him.

There is also Lu Zhixing, who is usually an honest and upright official and is loved by many ordinary people.

He also couldn't believe that such a person would do such a thing.

"Motive?"

"Zhou Tai must have been bribed, and the other party promised him something that made him feel it was worth betraying you."

"As for that Lu Zhixing, he must have set his sights on your position as Minister of Revenue."

"Moreover, as far as I know, although they were the executors of the plan, the person who came up with the plan must be someone else."

Ye Hongtu told all the news he knew.

At this moment, he had not yet come to confide in Mrs. Xiao, so he did not suspect Prime Minister Gu Yancheng.

"Oh, someone else?"

"Hongtu, do you have that person in your heart..."

Before Xiao Quan could finish his words, he was interrupted by Ye Hongtu.

“There is no precise target yet.”

"Now I just want to discuss with you how to break this situation."

"How to break the deadlock?"

Xiao Quan touched his mustache.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Zhou Tai, don't move. I will send someone to keep an eye on you."

"As for Lu Zhixing, it's up to you, Hongtu."

"We must catch him red-handed at midnight tomorrow night."

"If you dare to have any idea about the national treasury and the bank, you are really courting death."

Ye Hongtu thought about it and nodded.

"I'll lend you a few of the Ye Mansion's secret guards."

"On the one hand, it is to protect you and prevent them from doing anything desperate."

"On the other hand, of course, we have to keep a close eye on Zhou Tai."

Xiao Quan did not reject Ye Hongtu's proposal.

He had such a good relationship with Ye Hongtu, so he naturally knew how terrifying the Ye family's secret guards were.

"Then I'll trouble you, Hongtu!"

.......

When Xiao Quan left Ye Mansion, it was already 12 o'clock and the sky had become completely dark.

After seeing Xiao Quan off, Ye Hongtu turned around and went into Mrs. Xiao's private room.

"Where's Yaoyao? Is she asleep?"

Ye Hongtu asked.

"Yeah, he just finished his milk and fell asleep."

Mrs. Xiao responded.

Ye Hongtu breathed a sigh of relief.

If his daughter was awake, the two of them would not dare to chat recklessly.

After all, they all knew very well how evil that child was, and he was very smart and knew everything.

"Have you discussed this with Big Brother?"

Mrs. Xiao moved further into the bed and gave Ye Hongtu some prescriptions.

Because of Ye Chuyao's inner thoughts, the two had countless things to talk about in the past two days.

Therefore, even though Mrs. Xiao had just given birth, Ye Hongtu still stayed overnight in Mrs. Xiao's room for the past two days.

"Well, we've already discussed it!"

"That Lu Zhixing can't escape even if he has wings."

"Besides, I have arranged a few secret guards for Big Brother to prevent Zhou Tai from causing any trouble."

"Master, you are really thoughtful."

Having said this, Madam Xiao suddenly put her mouth close to Ye Hongtu's ear.

After saying a few words in a low voice, Ye Hongtu's eyes suddenly widened.
