Chapter 748: Chapter 670: Solving with Force (Two-in-One Mega Chapter)_1

Perhaps out of consideration for the relationship between Xiao Yeyang and the Yan Family, the Guo Family acted less brazenly than the Jiang Family. Cao Chuan and Bald spent several days investigating before they discovered that in September, the nanny who was the butler for Madam Guo had visited Li Wangshi’s hometown. Shortly after the nanny returned, Li Wangshi’s family arrived at Ningmen Prefecture.

After confirming that the Guo Family was plotting against the Yan Family behind the scenes, Daohua remained silent for a long while before speaking, "So the rumors spreading throughout the city about my mother’s lack of filial piety were also started by people sent by the Guo Family?"

Cao Chuan nodded, "The Guo Family butler spent silver to hire beggars in the city to spread the rumors everywhere."

Upon hearing this, Daohua’s eyes gradually filled with a cold intent, "What about Fan Tongzhi’s family?"

Cao Chuan, "Madam Fan and Madam Guo have a close private relationship, and thanks to Madam Guo’s recommendation, the eldest son of the Fan Family was able to enter the Imperial College to study."

"The Li Family is acquainted with the second son of the Fan Family because on their journey to Ningmen Prefecture, they traveled part of the way with the second son, who was returning from the province."

"During that time, the second son purposely sought to form a good relationship, and since Li Wangshi’s eldest grandson had studied for a few years, the two were reciting poems and engaging in literary exchanges along the way. After several interactions, they became familiar with each other."

Daohua sneered coldly, "How very convenient!" Then, after pondering for a moment, she said, "Now I have two tasks for you. First, visit Li Wangshi’s hometown and bring the Li Clan Leader here. If you can find a witness who knows about the dealings between the Guo Family and Li Wangshi’s family, that would be even better."

"Second, take control of the beggars who have been spreading rumors of my mother’s filial impiety in the city, especially those who have had contact with servants from the Guo Family."

Cao Chuan hesitated a little, "A Clan Leader might not be easy to summon."

Daohua took out the Jinling Guard waist token that Xiao Yeyang had given her, "If the Li Clan Leader doesn’t want to cooperate, show him this."

Cao Chuan’s expression lightened up, "I will make sure to do this properly."

Daohua glanced at Wang Manman, who immediately handed the prepared silver notes to Cao Chuan.

"This is for your trouble."

Daohua looked at Cao Chuan, "The end of the year is approaching, take this silver to share among yourselves, go and return quickly."

Cao Chuan took the silver note, "Thank you, Miss." After seeing Daohua pick up her teacup, he quickly left with Bald.

Once everyone had left, Daohua turned to Wang Manman, "Pack up, we return to the mansion early tomorrow."

Wang Manman hurried to pack their belongings.

Early the next morning, Daohua took the boat back to Ningmen Prefecture.

After entering the city gates, Daohua did not immediately return to the Yan Family but went to the teahouse opposite Xinglong Gambling House on the main street.

Once seated in the private room, Daohua gave Xiao’er a piece of silver and asked him to help summon the butler from Xinglong Gambling House.

Xiao’er looked at the silver with eagerness but said with a distressed face, "Miss, it’s not that I’m unwilling, but I simply don’t have the means to summon the butler."

The butler of Xinglong Gambling House was a ruthless character, not someone a mere attendant like him could summon.

Daohua replied with a faint smile, "Just say that the sister of Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai is looking for him. Whether he comes or not isn’t your concern."

Unable to resist the temptation of the silver and seeing it was just to pass a message, Xiao’er took the silver and left the teahouse, heading towards the Xinglong Gambling House.

After a short while, a burly man with a face full of beard followed Xiao’er back.

Upon entering the private room, You Yu glanced at Daohua, who was wearing a veil, with caution, "May I know who the lady is?"

Daohua stood up and bowed, "Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai are my third and fourth brothers. Before they left for the Northern Frontier, they told me that if the family encountered any difficulties, I could seek help from you at Xinglong Gambling House."

You Yu’s expression relaxed, and he bowed his fist, "So it’s Miss Yan." Thinking about the recent rumors surrounding the Yan Family in the city, he had an inkling of the situation but still enquired, "May I know what Miss Yan needs from me?"

Daohua smiled lightly, "I would like to ask Butler You to help me investigate Fan Tongzhi. It would be best if you could find evidence of his embezzlement and bribery over the years."

Fan Tongzhi had been a Tongzhi at Ningmen Prefecture before her father took over as the Magistrate. When she inspected the family’s fields, she liked to chat with the local peasants, many of whom had mentioned that Fan Tongzhi had embezzled the funds for building irrigation channels.

Since the Fan Family dared to openly conspire with the Guo Family against the Yan Family, relying on the Guo Family’s power, Daohua wondered if the Guo Family would still dare to protect the Fan Family when the evidence of embezzlement came out.
