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

Suzhou Prefecture.

"Have you heard that the third master of the Xie family was captured by bandits? Now the bandits want a ransom of hundreds of thousands of taels to release him."

"What? These bandits actually dared to arrest the Third Master of the Xie Family?"

"Oh my god, a ransom of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, are they crazy about money?"

"The Xie family is a Jiangnan family. A few hundred thousand taels of silver is nothing to them, right?"

"I heard that the old man of the second branch of the Xie family is trying to find a way to raise money everywhere to redeem the third master Xie."

"But I heard that the second branch of the Xie family had long been expelled from the family tree by Uncle Xie and his people."

"Ah? How could this happen? Could it be that the second branch of the Xie family has done something wrong?"

The second branch of the Xie family deliberately spread the news that Third Master Xie was captured by bandits. When people in many places in Jiangnan heard the news, they all talked about it.

There are also some noble families who are paying close attention to this matter.

Those bandits were so bold as to capture the Third Master of Lord Xie's mansion. Would they also be targeted by the bandits?

The Suzhou prefect had lost a lot of hair these days because of his anxiety. If Mr. Xie really died in the hands of bandits, he would lose his official hat.

He went to seek help from the Jiangnan garrison, and they sent someone to deliver a message back saying that they were also trying to find a solution, and if the higher-ups agreed to suppress the bandits, they would definitely send troops.

If they send troops out without authorization, they would be disobeying military orders.

Disobeying military orders is a capital crime.

There was also the incident of the theft from the Jiangnan granary. Not much grain was stolen from Suzhou Prefecture, so the Suzhou prefect was not afraid of this matter.

"Sir, we have already raised 100,000 taels of silver, and we are still trying to find a solution..."

Old Master Xie said to the prefect with a smile.

Hearing that 100,000 taels of silver had been raised, Prefect Fan frowned. This matter was not handled by Shopkeeper Xie, but the second branch of the Xie family was so jumpy. Third Master Xie had greeted him before, saying that the second branch of the Xie family now had no relationship with Lord Xie's mansion.

"Thank you, Second Old Master, for your hard work. The prefectural government has already contacted the Jiangnan garrison."

Hearing that the prefectural government had contacted the Jiangnan garrison, Old Master Xie was extremely panicked. At this time, if the Jiangnan garrison was dispatched, the bandits would have no way to survive and could only flee.

If the third nephew was rescued, what benefits would their second branch have?

"Sir, no matter how much effort we put in or how much money we have to spend, we must rescue our third nephew safely...Now that my eldest brother and two nephews are not in Jiangnan, I, an old man, have no choice but to do this..."

"Second Master Xie, I will find a way to deal with this matter and communicate with the Jiangnan garrison. We must rescue Third Master Xie..."

Xie Er Lao Ye originally wanted to show off in front of Magistrate Fan, but unexpectedly, Magistrate Fan only talked about sending troops to the garrison. Xie Er Lao Ye became even more anxious.

At this time, Xie Ming and Xie Li were also at the door of Xie's grain store.

"Thank you, shopkeeper. The situation is so urgent now. You can exchange all the silver notes you have. Sell all the food and other things at a low price and exchange them for silver notes to rescue the people..."

"That's right, you should put up a sign now and sell it at 20% off..."

"If it sells slowly, I'll sell it at 30% or 40% off..."
