Fantastic!
That was the way it had to be.
The magistrate had a strong alliance with them. As long as this man was brought within 500 meters of the government office and interrogated individually, he could extract any confession he desired.
Since Uncle Qing had stolen the contract, it was time to restore it to its rightful owner.
Even better, the contract now rested securely in their hands, officially designating the mulberry garden as Ms. Zheng’s.
This would resolve her father’s predicament!
Zhao Ye could vividly picture the day when Zhao Shu returned and discovered that Ms. Zheng’s mulberry garden had transformed into Ms. Zhao’s. He would undoubtedly be infuriated!
Zhao Ye bowed deeply to Ms. Qin. “Mom, you’re brilliant! That’s a fantastic plan! I’ll inform Dad immediately.”
Ms. Qin smiled with pride. “Then go swiftly. We must act promptly to prevent them from growing too complacent.”
“Understood, Mom!”
Zhao Ye rushed off to locate Zhao Mu.
Zhao Mu was elated to hear the news.
The more he contemplated it, the more convinced he became that it was the truth!
“No wonder that disobedient son was hesitant to sell off the family’s negative karma. It’s all because of those servants!”
“Those lowly servants are all driven by greed. It’s not surprising that they would resort to such actions. Dad, may I visit the government office personally?”
Zhao Mu pondered for a moment. This situation involved robbery and intimidation. They all knew that the Shao Family must have acquired 100,000 mulberry fields. As the head of the family, Zhao Mu couldn’t directly handle such matters, so he had entrusted his junior to take care of it.
He feigned ignorance about the unfolding situation.
In case an actual crisis arose, she possessed the ability to turn the situation to her advantage.
He nodded and instructed, “Take 3,000 liang with you. Rest assured, it will be well worth it.”
A few thousand liang could secure 100,000 mu of mulberry fields, resulting in profits exceeding 10,000.
Excited, Zhao Ye eagerly set off.
His first stop was to find a strategist named Yang.
Strategist Yang had always maintained a favorable relationship with the Zhao Family, often leveraging the family’s resources to his advantage. However, when Zhao Ye disclosed the current predicament, Strategist Yang’s heart skipped a beat.
Magistrates in Jiangnan were not known for their naivety, and their strategists were no exception. They possessed their own discerning judgments regarding what was feasible and what wasn’t.
Strategist Yang couldn’t help but mutter curses at the Zhao Family for their audacity and greed.
Most critically, their plan lacked foresight!
Who concocted such an ill-conceived scheme?
100,000 mulberry fields! It was an exorbitant acquisition that no ordinary family could manage.
The Zhao Family was undoubtedly behind this endeavor.
While the Zhao Family may have taken advantage of the landlord, they couldn’t simply turn a blind eye to the situation. Arbitrary arrests could lead to disastrous consequences. What if they apprehended the wrong individuals? It would jeopardize Old Master’s career!
But 1,000 liang was a huge amount, and Zhao Ye even hinted that he would give Strategist Yang a huge amount of money, which made Strategist Yang feel quite motivated.
He did not agree directly. Instead, he replied vaguely, “It depends on you, Officer. You can make the decision…”
Zhao Ye was asked to leave temporarily.
