The villagers were stunned. They had originally thought it was just thugs running rampant in the village, but now they were talking about the Bo Mansion? And the real daughter of the Bo Mansion had been captured by the yamen runners?

This was the first time that their village had seen such a bustle.

The old village chief tapped his cane and said, "Alright, now that the county government has dealt with this matter, Fang Tong, stop making a fuss. Has anyone else finished their farm work? Go do what needs to be done, don't just stand around here."

"I understand, Uncle Village Chief." Fang Tong responded out of courtesy this time and left with his brothers.

Qin Yan's eyes were cold. He glanced at the people in the yard before turning and leaving.

This matter is not over yet. Once Fang Qingya is proven guilty, Fang Jin's path to the imperial examination will be cut off with such a daughter.

The Fang family’s extravagant hopes will also be ruined.

Only then will the Fang family completely hate Fang Qingya.

That was the beginning of his revenge.

After the parties involved left, the onlookers took a look at the dilapidated yard of the Fang family. Not a single person stayed to help clean up, and they all dispersed.

"Husband, wake up." He hugged the man and only dared to cry out loud now.

No one knew where the two brothers Fang Qingtian came from, and they only came now to show their filial piety.

"Grandpa, my father's injury is serious. Why don't we send him to the city to see a doctor?"

Old Master Fang seemed to have aged a lot. When the cold wind blew, he finally came back to his senses.

An old man's face was full of viciousness: "Yes, let's go to the city! And by the way, we can go to the Wang family. The eldest brother is the son-in-law of the Wang family. They can't just ignore this matter."

Mr. Fang knew that Landlord Wang had connections in the county government.

Today Wang Fujiao went to the city, leaving only servants at home.

If she were here, the yamen runners would definitely give her face.

The Fang Qingtian brothers looked at each other, said nothing, and went to get a cart.

The two men carried Fang Jin up. The Fang family was in chaos, and the Wang family was also in turmoil.

"What? All the tenants want to terminate the contract? No longer renting?" Landlord Wang was stunned and put down the teacup in his hand heavily.

"Butler, are you stupid and talking nonsense? They are a bunch of landless peasants. How can they afford to pay compensation if they terminate the contract? And how will they make a living in the future?"

Of course, those who were able to work as tenants were because they had lost their land.

As a farmer, if you don’t have land, half of your wealth and life will be in the hands of the landlord.

Where do you get the courage to give up?

Steward Wang knelt down with a bitter face. "It's true. It happened today. I sent someone to investigate, but we haven't had much time, so we haven't found any clues yet."

Landlord Wang frowned, and the flesh on his face trembled. This was too strange. The spring planting had ended, and the busiest time was over. The tenants were making trouble?

Is it someone who is instigating this?

Whose family is it? Although he has competitors, who would be so reckless as to start with the tenants? After all, the disaster had just passed and labor was not very valuable, so there was no need to rob them like this.

Just as I was thinking about it, a servant came running in.

"Oh no, sir, our grain store has been sealed by the government."

"What? How is that possible? I've already paid a lot to the government this year."

Landlord Wang stood up suddenly. What happened?

Twelve out of ten things are wrong.

"Master, the bailiff said that there is a problem with our shop's accounts and we haven't paid enough taxes." The servant reported tremblingly.

Landlord Wang's face became even uglier. There was definitely something wrong with the accounts. People like them naturally had some ways to avoid taxes.

The county government is not unaware of this, and most of the time they turn a blind eye. Why are they suddenly targeting him?

"My Lord, this is terrible! Our caravan was stopped by the yamen runners as soon as it entered the city. They've already arrested everyone and put them in jail."

Another young servant in blue clothes ran in, his face full of panic.

Landlord Wang realized something was wrong and grabbed the servant's collar to question him.

"Have the yamen runners told us the reason?"

The servant was a little scared when he met his eyes that seemed to be about to spit fire, but he still reported the truth: "They said it was smuggling, selling illegal salt."

Upon hearing this, Landlord Wang’s face turned pale instantly.

The reason why he was able to make a fortune so quickly was that he had a lot of land and many shops, but that was just the superficial reason. The biggest profit came from selling illegal salt.

But he has always been very cautious, so how was he discovered?

He also has someone above him. The yamen runners have already arrested the caravan, so why hasn't that person taken action yet? Or has that person already become a problem?

Landlord Wang felt very uneasy. After thinking about it, he immediately ordered people to harness the cart and pack up their luggage. He had to leave here.

"Where's the young lady? Call her and leave immediately."

Landlord Wang has been running the business for so many years and is quite astute. At this point, he no longer wants to find out who he had offended to have ended up like this in an instant.

The most important thing is to seize the time to get out.

"Yes... the young lady is still browsing the shops, saying that she wants to make a new set of clothes for her son-in-law. I will send someone to invite the young lady back right away." Butler Wang, who had been kneeling and dared not say a word, spoke up.

But his eyes flickered and his expression was uncertain.

Landlord Wang was distracted and didn't notice it. He just waved his hand and told him to go quickly.

Butler Wang immediately got up and trotted out, but first went to a house not far away where a woman was cooking.

The housekeeper told her to pack up her valuables quickly. She didn't want the house anymore.

The woman was no ordinary person either. When she heard this, she didn't even ask the reason, but immediately got busy and cleaned up in just half a minute.

The two of them left through the back door in a carriage.

As for Miss Wang, the housekeeper doesn’t care!

Butler Wang had seen what was happening just now. The Wang family was finished. He had a body indenture with the Wang family.

If the Wang family were to be destroyed, it would implicate him as well. It would be better for him to escape now. Even if he was labeled a fugitive, he had money! He could just move to another place and use the money to get a new identity.

Landlord Wang had packed his luggage, but his daughter had not returned yet.

He was extremely anxious and was about to send his servants to look for him again when Mr. Fang arrived.

He left his son in a pharmacy, where he was looked after by two grandsons.

He stumbled into the room, grabbed the landlord Wang's sleeve, and cried: "My dear, it's bad, something terrible has happened, my son has been beaten, and this is your own son-in-law, you can't just ignore him."

Landlord Wang pulled back his sleeves, his face expressionless. He was about to run away, so why would he care about his son-in-law?

Fang Jin has been married for so long and has benefited a lot from the Wang family, but until now she is still not on the same page with him.

"Oh? Really?" Landlord Wang said lightly and was about to order people to kick the old man out.

Old Master Fang didn't notice at all and continued to speak to himself: "It's all my troublesome third son's fault! Now my eldest granddaughter has also been arrested by the yamen runners. My eldest granddaughter is no ordinary girl, she belongs to the uncle's family. My dear in-laws, please help us get her out. The uncle's family will definitely reward us handsomely."

What is Bo's Mansion?

His daughter had never told him about Fang Qingya's matter, so Landlord Wang only found out about it now, and he only had a vague understanding of it, but the yamen runners were arresting people?

Landlord Wang still felt something was wrong: "Don't worry, what happened? Tell me."
