Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm-Chapter 1557 - 1556: I Was Just About to Deal with Him_1

It was Bei Lingsu.

The appearance of Bei Lingsu had shattered the plans of the Wu and Duan families.

She saved Tong Sanlang, and also singlehandedly saved Yang Ye and Qiao Xiaomai. Had it not been for her, Daqi would have suffered a great loss at this time.

Thus, even though Bei Yun had committed a grave crime, once she spoke up, Yang Wenxiao gave her that face.

After reading the letter from Wu Yuanxian, Yang Wenxiao became even more convinced of this idea.

He looked toward Bei Lingsu, "As for the matter of the Wu Family, shall I entrust it to you to handle, what do you say?"

"Me, handle it?" Bei Lingsu incredulously pointed at herself.

"Yes, you will lead people to the Wu Family," Yang Wenxiao said, pointing to Tong Sanlang, "He is ill now, so I can only turn to you."

"Um..."

"I will help you pay off your debts with the Yu Family. I will bestow upon the Yu Family a ’dan shu tie quan,’ which is more suited as a family heirloom than the ’Jiufeng Feitian,’" Yang Wenxiao added.

A ’dan shu tie quan’ is a kind of special privilege certificate granted by the emperor to meritorious officials, also known as a ’Gold Medal of Exemption from Death.’

As long as the Yu Family does not rebel, with this ’dan shu tie quan,’ they can continue to maintain their glory and wealth.

As long as Daqi exists, nothing will happen to their family.

Compared to the nine phoenixes soaring into the sky, an artifact only worth taels of silver, the value of the ’dan shu tie quan’ is much greater.

Bei Lingsu had never expected Yang Wenxiao to say such a thing, and she was stunned for a moment.

Qiao Xiaomai hastily stretched out her hand and nudged her, reminding her that the people of the Yu Residence were not worthy of Bei Lingsu’s immediate response. The trouble caused by Bei Yun did not require Bei Lingsu to pay off in this manner. Yang Wenxiao’s suggestion was better, as it immediately shut the mouths of the Yu Family and freed the divine doctor, Bei Lingsu, from being ordered around at will.

Besides, Bei Lingsu was almost certainly going to be the Princess Consort of Prince Wei. How could the Princess Consort be ordered around by the Yu Family at will?

A ’dan shu tie quan’ settled the matter.

Given Liuli’s relationship, it was only right for the Yu Family to receive such a Gold Medal of Exemption from Death.

Reminded by Qiao Xiaomai, Bei Lingsu quickly responded, "Good."

Bei Yun’s trouble was something she, as his elder, could only appease by turning the other cheek with a subservient smile.

Now, there was no need to appease with a smile anymore, which felt truly relieving.

Upon seeing this, Yang Wenxiao smiled and said, "So it’s settled then. Take the Imperial Guards with you, take these, and go to the Wu Residence to conduct the search and seizure."

As he spoke, he personally stood up and went to the table to pick up several ledgers.

"These are all the transgressions against the ’Daqi Laws’ committed by the Wu Family over the years. I have suppressed them until now. It’s time to deal with them all at once."

Bei Lingsu took the ledgers handed to her, casually flipped through them and found records of forcibly occupying people’s homes resulting in fatalities, encircling large tracts of land to evade taxes, and more. Each item was a serious crime; put together, even without the collusion with Wu Duan, the ledgers were sufficient to warrant a search and seizure of the Wu Family.

Yang Wenxiao continued, "I’ve been considering taking action against the Wu Family recently, and now I have the excuse. It is the will of heaven."

Since last winter, he had noticed that the functions of his body were declining, and decided on the spot to begin taking action against the Aristocratic Families.

These Aristocratic Families had hundreds of years of heritage, numerous people, and various affairs, with each family harboring their own corruption. Not one was clean.

Over the years, he had collected quite a bit of evidence, all carefully recorded in his little notebooks.

One thing might not shake a family, but when several notebooks are accumulated together, it is absolutely possible to uproot a family entirely.

After much thought, he decided to start with the Wu Family. The Wu Family had previously used the Hongxing Gambling House to trap Tong Xingda, which provided a good pretext.

He had not yet had the opportunity to act when a better excuse came his way.
