Chapter 511 513. Swinging Left and Right
Hua Shunming seemed not to notice the twists and turns here. "It is a good arrangement in the future. It will also help all the ministers to relieve their pain of missing their daughters."
Ministers, "..." It is true that they miss their daughter, but they don't want to meet their daughter in this way.
Queen Zhou, "…Your Majesty is merciful."
…
Jin Qianqian didn't expect that County Magistrate Wu's letter would arrive so soon.
It was just as she had guessed. The previous self-directed theft case was indeed planned by Tian Zhuang.
In order to destroy her reputation, if they really succeeded in framing her, it would have spread all over the capital by now that the wife of the ancient prefect had a special hobby and liked to steal.
It is conceivable what her fate will be by then, and maybe she can also eliminate Gu Wenheng by the way.
Gu Wenheng patted her head and helped her calm down. "I have written two letters. Magistrate Wu and Prefect Nan will handle the matter impartially."
Jin Qianqian, "I'm just a little angry. These people's methods are really despicable. If I hadn't been alert and had the cheating device in hand, we would be the ones who are in a passive position now."
"Don't worry! You won't see them again." Gu Wenheng would naturally not swallow this anger. He actually had the courage to tease her, so he must be ready to bear the consequences.
Jin Qianqian didn't care what the other party would end up like, but she was really angry. "I've been here for so long and I haven't written a letter to Sister Yang and the others yet. This is a good topic to talk about with them."
The Tian family had the confidence to come up with this plan, and they relied on Xiao Shiyu in the backyard of the Huang Mansion.
With an uncle like this, I guess her life in the backyard of the Huang Mansion would not be easy.
Gu Wenheng, "It's time to have a good chat, so that we don't lose touch with each other and miss out on many wonderful stories."

The Tian family they were talking about were now huddled in a dilapidated courtyard.
"Can my father come out?" Tian Mi asked Li Yong while wiping her tears. Now in the whole mansion, only Li Yong and some loyal servants were protecting her and her daughter.
"Miss, all our properties here have been taken over by people sent by Governor Nan. We have tried every possible way, but have not been able to see the master." Li Yong is also very headache now. He has already used his greatest ability, but now everyone in the entire Lecheng is avoiding them.
Those officials and wealthy businessmen who used to be on close terms with the master were now unwilling to even see him.
"This magistrate Nan is so bold that he dares to confiscate the house without any conviction. I will go to the capital to sue him." Madam Tian has lived a life of luxury for so many years, how could she tolerate this shabby house.
It’s a pity that no one in the whole Lecheng dares to take them in. There is only this shabby little house, and because it is ownerless, they drove away the few beggars who were hiding here, and this is the only place they have temporarily sheltered.
"Yes, let's go find my uncle and aunt. My cousin is married into the Shangshu Mansion. I don't believe these people are not afraid." Tian Mi stood up, "Mom, let's go quickly."
"Yes, we just need to find your aunt," Madam Tian grabbed Tian Mi's hand and told Li Yong, "Take people to prepare the carriage, and we will set off immediately."
The sooner we find my elder sister-in-law, the sooner we can rescue the master from prison.
Li Yong, "It's not that I don't want to go, but now the whole Lecheng treats us as a scourge, and I can't find a carriage at all."
What's more, the carriage was not something that a merchant family like them could use. In the past, they relied on their aunt's name and registered the carriage under his name, so they were able to use it.
Nowadays, they are just ordinary people, and the master's reputation is not very useful now, so how can he find a carriage?
Madam Tian also thought of this, but she immediately made a decision, "It doesn't matter what kind of ox cart or donkey cart we use. We must get to Shangjing as soon as possible, so that we can get back everything that belongs to our Tian family as soon as possible."
The Tian family did have an escort company before, but in the current situation, how could they be allowed to make the decisions?
She didn't even dare to think about other escort companies. This small escort company in Lecheng had always disliked them, so she would not go there at this moment and humiliate herself.
After Li Yong got the OK, he immediately ran out to find a solution.
The reason these people stayed here was, firstly, that the prefect had not found their indentures, and secondly, they were hoping for the best. If the Shangshu Mansion took care of the matter, then sooner or later the Tian family would return to its former glory.
As they protect their master all the way, they will naturally become great contributors to this family.
There was no one around, Tian Mi grabbed her mother's hand and said, "We haven't sent anyone to inform my brother yet. If we can save the shops in other surrounding counties, we won't be afraid..."
Madam Tian, "I have sent someone to notify them, I hope it will be in time..."
"What do you think Dad has done wrong?" Tian Mi still couldn't figure it out. Everything was fine before and he even held a banquet to entertain the officials from Lecheng. Why was Dad suddenly arrested?
Madam Tian knew something vaguely, but she was not sure. But now was not the time to worry about it. "How should I know? No matter what, we still have to rescue your father first."
Li Yong searched for a while and actually found two donkey carts. They escorted the Tian mother and daughter and hurried towards Shangjing overnight.
Lecheng prefectural government office
"Sir, should we stop it?" Butler Wu had received the news and came back immediately to inform.
Prefect Nan, "Don't worry about them."
"But..." If they call for reinforcements, they will be in a passive position.
Prefect Nan, "We must let them go to Shangjing, otherwise why would this prefecture leave them a way out?
You don't think I can do anything with those servants who don't have indentures?"
"The slave is stupid."
“Even if we want to give face to Gu Wenheng, we still have to consider Minister Huang.
Even though Miss Xiao is only the granddaughter-in-law of Minister Huang, as the old saying goes, you have to look at the owner before beating the dog.
This government left them this path just to test the waters.
If Minister Huang intervenes, then this government will naturally have to make a choice, do you understand?"
Butler Wu bowed respectfully and said, "You are wise, sir."
"As for Gu Wenheng, I will directly push the blame on Minister Huang. I think he will understand my dilemma."

Gu Wenheng came to the first piece of wasteland that day, which was also the first batch of crops they planted.
"Sir, the land here has been well cared for and plenty of fertilizer has been applied. Although it is new land, this year should be a bumper year." The old farmer in charge of this piece of land couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
So much food means that we won’t go hungry this year.
"It's been well taken care of." Even though Gu Wenheng was not good at farming, he knew that the crops were growing well and all his efforts over the past few days were not in vain.
