Chapter 102 Warm Jade

Xi Danian is not Xi Tongfang's own father, he is also Xi Tonglin's father. If you visit his father's grave, you should buy it together.

"My grandma, it's enough for our family to buy it. We don't care whether the people in the big house will buy it or not. However, My grandma, let's go to visit grandpa's grave earlier this year."

"Okay, listen to you."

...

As Chu Li expected, early the next morning, Xi Tonglin went to the government to report the case. Then, the government and Xi Tonglin went to two shops in the Canal Night Market.

When we arrived at the shop, Xi Tonglin learned that the shop had changed hands and the original tenant of the shop had moved out yesterday afternoon. Now, the two shops are dinging and heavy-installing.

"Master Xi, these two shops involve the Fourth Master of the Chu family. We can't investigate this matter anymore. We have to go back and ask the Lord for instructions first."

When the officials learned that the buyer of the two shops was the Fourth Master of the Chu family, they realized that the case could not be started with the two shops, otherwise they would offend the Chu family.

The Chu family is the largest family in Hangzhou. It has the shops, silk, tea, restaurants, antiques, etc. in several streets of Hangzhou, and it has also mastered several navigation lines in the south, and it has no idea how much it has made.

The ones that several officials fear the most were the second masters and third masters of the Chu family. The second master of the Chu family was the third-rank Tongzheng envoy, who was the chief of the Tongzheng envoy, and was in charge of the position and the refutation of internal and external memorials, and introduced the words and affairs of the subjects.

The third master of the Chu family is the magistrate of Fuzhou in the south, and is of the same level as the Fat Master, but there is a second master in the Chu family who is in charge of the capital. Even when the Fat Master meets the Chu family, he has to nod and flatter.

Even the fat prefect dared not offend someone, and a few small officials dared not offend him.

After the official talked to Xi Tonglin, he turned around and left, leaving Xi Tonglin with a anxious look on his face.

Xi Tonglin did not dare to offend the Chu family, but he was unwilling to lose it just like that for 20,000 taels of silver. After thinking about it, Xi Tonglin went back to find Wang and forced Wang to beg Zou again, asking Zou to come forward and help them recover their lost property.

Zou's husband is the eldest son of Lin'an County, Lord Shen, a small seventh-rank official, who can't say anything in Hangzhou City, but a nephew of Zou's mother's family is Zou Xuhao, a Tanhua man from a few years ago.

Zou Xuhao was an official in the capital. Although his official rank was not high, he became a high-ranking official in the capital. He was captured by someone and successfully married the daughter of a high-ranking official as his wife.

The position of Zou’s husband’s county magistrate was bought by Zou Xuhao’s father-in-law for some money.

The Zou family and the Fatty Prefect are still relatives.

The Fat Priest is Zou Xuhao's father-in-law's cousin. It is because of his cousin, the big backer, that the Fat Priest dared to secretly harm one boy after another.

Xi Tonglin asked Wang to ask Zou, but also wanted Zou to ask the fat prefect.

Xi Tonglin went to ask the Fat Priest on his own, and the Fat Priest would definitely not offend the Chu family for his Xi family. However, if Zou came forward, as long as Zou took Zou Xuhao out, the Fat Priest had to agree to the Zou family for the sake of his cousin.

"I heard that my second aunt likes Dai Nuanyu very much. You bring the piece of warm jade I brought back from Haining."

As soon as Wang finished dressing, Xi Tonglin took out a warm jade pendant he bought for more than 300 taels of silver in Haining last month and handed it to Wang, "You must ask for your second aunt's consent, otherwise, if the property cannot be retrieved, I will count it all on your head."
