How did such immense wealth fall into my family?

Chapter 74 Oh no, I've fallen for that old man's trick!
Sun Ping's uncle, Sun Minglu, waited and waited at the inn for his nephew to return, but he didn't come back. It was already late afternoon, and Sun Minglu couldn't wait any longer.

Sun Minglu called over the coachman, Liu San. "Go hire a horse-drawn carriage. Let's go to Qianjia Village and see why Sun Ping hasn't returned yet."

"it is good."

A moment later, Liu San returned. "Manager Sun, there are no horse-drawn carriages in town, so I hired a donkey cart."

"A donkey cart it is then. Let's go."

After arriving at Qianjia Village, Sun Minglu and Liu San randomly asked someone, "Auntie, do you know how to get to Qian Dashan's house?"

The old woman looked Liu San up and down. "Who are you to the Dashan family? I've never seen you before."

"I'm a servant of the Tang family. You know the Tang family, right?"

"I know. Just follow this road, and turn left at the first intersection. That's it."

After saying that, the old woman went to call people to watch the excitement.

Before Sun Minglu and Liu San even reached Xiaogou Sheng's house, a bunch of people started following them. Sun Minglu and Liu San assumed they were just naive and had never seen anything like it before, which was why they were following them.

Eighteen was playing with some calves in the yard when he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door. Eighteen's eyes lit up immediately. "Who is it?"

Liu San: "We are servants of the Tang family, open the door."

"Alright!" Shiba said as he walked towards the door, "Big brother, second brother, third brother, eldest nephew, second nephew, third nephew, come out and get to work."

The three Qian brothers and three large oxen quickly came out of the house.

After Shiba stepped on a stool to open the door, the three Qian brothers and three big oxen immediately went out and dragged Liu San and Sun Minglu inside.

Liu San and Sun Minglu were both dumbfounded.

As Sun Ming struggled along the roadside, he said, "What are you trying to do? I am the steward of the Tang family."

Qian Laifu came out of the house. "What are you doing? You arrived five days ago, but you deliberately waited until my youngest son's 100th day to come and tell us. Close the door."

"Alright!" After driving the donkey cart that Liu San had hired into the house, Shiba stepped onto a stool and closed the gate.

The onlookers outside: So that's what happened. They deserve a good beating.

Fifteen minutes later, Sun Minglu and Liu San, their faces bruised and swollen, knelt before Qian Laifu.

Sun Minglu: "Grandpa, we were wrong, please forgive us. We will never dare to do it again."

Qian Laifu gave a cold snort. "Get lost!"

Sun Minglu also wanted to leave, but, "Grandpa, what about the matter of the in-laws?"

"I will go to the capital with you in ten days."

Sun Minglu wanted to ask if it could be sooner, but he had just been caught red-handed. "I'll come pick you up then."

"Okay. Get lost."

"Yes, sir, I'll get out of here right away."

Sun Minglu led Sun Ping and Liu San out of Qianjia Village as fast as he could.

Back at the inn, Sun Ping, while administering medicine to Sun Minglu, said, "Second Uncle, did you misjudge Madam's wet nurse? The Qian family isn't exactly known for their honesty."

"The lady's wet nurse is very discerning; she's become quite the expert."

"Then why did the Qian family start hitting people right away?"

Sun Minglu had also thought about this question. "The Qian family are all honest people, but the concubine that Old Master Qian took in might be a different story."

"You mean this was the concubine's idea?"

"Yes. The Qian family has gained another concubine."

"Should we tell Madam?"

"Of course we'll take it. If she dares to instigate Old Master Qian to beat us, we'll make her regret it."

Ten days later, Sun Minglu came early to pick up Qian Laifu.

"Grandpa, watch your step."

"Grandpa, are you comfortable sitting here? If you're not, I'll get you a cushion."

"Grandpa, would you like some tea?" "Grandpa, what would you like for lunch?"

……

The old man wanted him to get as far away as possible, but his little granddaughter told him to keep his airs high.

"Adding one isn't enough? Add two."

"I want to drink black tea."

"I want to eat Buddha Jumps Over the Wall for lunch."

……

Qian Dashan wanted to advise his father against his arrogance but didn't dare. His father had been away for a while and came back as a completely different person.

Qian Daniu was also very uneasy.

Qian Gousheng only cares about eating and drinking.

Time flies, and more than a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

The puppy was still more than 30 li away from the capital.

Sun Minglu wanted to rush to the capital in one go. Qian Laifu, however, wanted to spend the night in the town closest to the capital.

Sun Minglu looked at Qian Dashan and Qian Daniu. The implication was: Don't you want to see your wife and mother soon?
Qian Daniu thought for a moment, and then he looked over at Qian Dashan.

Qian Dashan encouraged himself. "Dad, how about we go straight to the capital?"

"Go where?" Qian Laifu glared at Qian Dashan. "I need to get a good night's sleep. Only when I'm well-rested will I have the energy to settle accounts with the Tang family."

Qian Dashan dared not speak.

Sun Minglu spat inwardly and said, "You think you can settle scores with the Tang family?" Then he looked at Qian Laifu and said with a smile, "Grandpa, since you want to stay for the night, then we'll stay for the night."

After settling Qian Laifu and the others in, Sun Minglu sent Liu San back to report the news.

Liu San returned quickly. "As soon as I got to the city gate, I saw Wang Youcai. Wang Youcai said that everything was arranged in the mansion, and they were just waiting for them to arrive. Wang Youcai said that once they got there, we could deal with them however we wanted."

Sun Minglu smiled. "Okay, go and rest."

The next day, Sun Minglu came knocking on Qian Laifu and Xiao Gousheng's door early in the morning. "Grandpa, are you awake? Grandpa, what would you like to eat? I'll go buy it for you."

The room was quiet.

Sun Minglu repeated it again.

There was still no sound from inside the house.

Sun Minglu quickly called his employee over. "Has anyone in this room gone out?"

"No."

Sun Minglu called twice more, but there was still no response from inside. He quickly called Liu San and Sun Ping over. "Break down the door!"

Upon hearing this, the waiter immediately said, "Don't crash it, this door is very valuable. Shout again."

Sun Minglu didn't have time to argue with the shop assistant. He simply gave him five taels of silver. "Can we crash it now?"

"Yes, yes." The waiter quickly stepped aside. "Go ahead and bump into me, go ahead and bump into me."

After Liu San and Sun Ping broke down the door, the room was empty; there wasn't a soul in sight.

Sun Minglu's face immediately changed. "Damn it, we've fallen for that old bastard's trick. That old bastard definitely wants to get rid of us and cause trouble in front of our mansion. Quick! Go and report to Madam! Quick!"

Liu San turned and ran. If that old bastard went to the gate of the mansion and made a scene, he would be lucky to escape with his life.

Meanwhile, Magistrate Chen of the Capital had only read one document when someone knocked on the door. "Come in."

A yamen runner entered carrying a scroll of paper. "Sir, someone wants to file a complaint against Lord Tang."

The Prefect of the Capital casually asked, "What are you accusing me of? Embezzlement and bribery, or allowing a slave to commit violence?"

"Neither." The constable placed the paper on the table. "Sir, please see for yourself. I'm afraid I can't explain it clearly."
