It is said that Yun Tao was shocked when she received the envelope, and immediately called Da Niu and San Niu over.

"You two brothers, come and take a look. I don't know if what is written in this letter is true. There is no letter from the lady either, so this matter still needs to be investigated."

Yuntao was very upset.

Da Niu complained, "Mom, but when Er Niu left, he should have found an escort to send them back."

Yun Tao was also speechless. "How could I have known that something like this would happen? When Sanniu and I came to the capital before, nothing happened. Everything went smoothly. And when the four of us came to the capital, everything was peaceful."

"I had no idea this would happen. I was surprised myself."

"Mom, there are three of them, one is old, one is weak, and the other is useless. It's our own fault for being careless."

Daniel looked helpless.

They both sat in their chairs and sighed deeply.

Sanniu looked at the words written in the letter.

There are no enemies in my family. If there are really any enemies, they would be the Zhang family who came to the imperial capital and offended Ziyun Pavilion, and the second young master of the Zhang family is now dead.

Not knowing whether it had anything to do with the Zhang family, Sanniu kept his head down in thought.

Yuntao and Daniu looked at Sanniu, who was talkative, and kept his head down, without saying anything.

Da Niu called out "San Niu" in a low voice, but San Niu did not respond.

When Yun Tao saw the scene, she walked forward and touched Sanniu with her hand.

"Sanniu, what are you thinking about? You are so focused. Your eldest brother called you, but you didn't even respond."

"Mom, I'm thinking, it would be best if the matter of Erniu was not reported by the town, if it is true. I'm wondering if we have offended someone and they are taking revenge on us."

Daniu was also confused, "Little brother, we didn't offend anyone. Mom and the two of us have always been very quiet. You know our family's character. I don't think such a thing exists."

"Even if he offended someone, why didn't he attack us two when we were in the imperial capital, but attacked Erniu, and Sima Xiangru and Sima Grandfather were also involved."

"Sima Xiangru still has his grandfather for us. If we are ruthless, we can just refuse to give him the silver."

Yun Tao suddenly remembered Zhang Yuan. "Daniu, do you still remember Zhang Yuan?"

"Mom, isn't he dead? If he's dead, how could he get up and cause trouble again?"

Daniu sneered.

"My dear brother, Zhang Yuan is dead, but don't forget that he still has his father and mother."

"Neither of them is dead. I heard that he is the only son of his mother. We have been living very smoothly in the capital recently. We don't have any sense of crisis now. If you ask me, it might be his parents who did it."

Yun Tao said to the two brothers, "There is no evidence for this now. Whatever we say now is bullshit. The most important thing now is to redeem the person."

"Mom, can our family afford 50,000 taels of silver now? That's 50,000 taels, not 5,000 taels, and I spent more than 10,000 taels of silver a few days ago."

"The main reason is that the rent in the capital is too expensive, and the cheap locations are not expensive. When doing business, location is the most important thing."

Sanniu was very worried because all the money in the family had been invested in the store and there was no extra money at all.

Yun Tao thought about it and realized that there was indeed not much silver on the surface, but there was still some in the space. It should be no problem to get 50,000 taels of silver.

"Sanniu, no problem. If it's a little short, we can think of other ways, or borrow some from others.

When Sanniu heard his mother's words, he just took it as a comfort to himself. Fifty thousand taels of silver is not a small amount of money.

"Let's go."

Yuntao talked as she walked.

"Mom, where are you going?"

Daniel was confused.

"Go find Brother Wu. He is now the magistrate of Jing County in the imperial capital. By the way, Da Niu, write a letter to the lady to see if Er Niu has not returned home."

"Mother, why don't you ask the lady before making a decision? If someone else is trying to frame us, it might not be a good idea for us to go straight to Magistrate Wu."

"If such a thing really happened, I believe they would be more anxious than us. That's 50,000 taels of silver. Just opening your mouth means 50,000 taels."

Yun Tao thought about it and realized that it would take a month to travel from the capital to the village and back, and by the time the lady came back, the food would be cold.

If this was true, the person would have been dead long ago. Of course, it would be best if it was a prank.

Yuntao now misses modern high technology more and more. Smartphones can send messages even if they are thousands of miles apart. It is nothing like now when you have to write a letter to let the other person know what you do.

If the person has changed places, it is really impossible to find him. In such a vast sea of people, where can I find him?

"Daniu, to be safer, let's go to Magistrate Li."

"You two wait for me, mom will prepare some things and we will leave."

Yun Tao pretended to go back to her room, but actually took out Moutai liquor and some ceramics from the space. Then there were some beauty and skin care products. These should be enough, right?

The two waited outside for two hours before they finally saw their mother coming out with a lot of things in her bags.

Da Niu and San Niu were not surprised at all, as they were already used to their mother's behavior.

My mother has secrets, but everyone tacitly agrees not to say anything.

Yuntao felt very relieved. These things here were all good things and could not be bought with ten thousand taels of silver.

But it's unique.

Yun Tao and the other two arrived at Magistrate Wu's residence.

"Please inform me, big brother, I am Yun Tao and I have something to discuss with Magistrate Wu."

The gatekeeper looked at Yuntao for a few times and wanted to send her away, but then he found that Yuntao had stuffed something into his pocket.

The gatekeeper took a quick look and found that it was a silver ingot. He was overjoyed and said arrogantly, "Okay, you wait here. If our county magistrate doesn't see you, that's another matter. I'm just helping you inform him."

Yun Tao was not angry, she just stood quietly outside the door waiting.

The big bull and the three bulls were very angry, but when they thought about what happened before

After a while, the man who was guarding the gate came to Yun Tao in a hurry.

"Ma'am, please come in quickly."

The gatekeeper was very nervous. "Madam, please forgive me. I am sorry for what happened just now. Please forgive me."

The gatekeeper returned the silver that Yuntao had given him.

Yun Tao smiled and said, "Take it. I'll have to trouble you to report it later."

Yuntao smiled and returned the silver.

When County Magistrate Wu saw the three people, he immediately stood up from his chair with joy.

"Big sister, you finally came to see me."

Yun Tao smiled and gave the things she brought to County Magistrate Wu.

When County Magistrate Wu saw what Yuntao brought, his mouth was crooked with smiles.

"Everything my elder sister gave me is good, and every one of them is better than the last."

When Magistrate Wu saw Yun Tao's gift, he was very satisfied. It seemed that he could give these things away to please the people above him. "

"Brother Wu, you must drink this wine. It's good wine. It's a pity that there is not much of it. Otherwise, I would give you more."

"You are being too polite, too polite."

The two exchanged greetings for a while, and Yun Tao explained the purpose of his visit.

After hearing this, County Magistrate Wu immediately slammed the table and stood up.

"Who is so bold as to poop on my sister's head?"

"Don't worry, big sister. Your business is my business. I will definitely find out for you."

Yun Tao was a little hesitant, not knowing whether to speak out. But after thinking about it, she decided to speak out, so that the case could be handled faster.

Yun Tao expressed all her suspicions, and Magistrate Wu felt as if he had been struck by frost.

Yun Tao looked at Magistrate Wu's expression and thought to herself, this is bad.

It seems like County Magistrate Wu may have no hope in this matter. Even if he finds out something, he will suffer in silence.

Sanniu and Daniu also thought so. If they really met someone powerful or well-connected, they would be in trouble. Before the case was even investigated, Sanniu and Daniu were already disappointed.
