"Keep an eye on these two people and investigate all the way!" Luo Tong immediately ordered.
She intuitively felt that there must be something wrong here, especially now that Xia Zhihe was busy with the Xia family's industry crisis!
"What's the current situation of the Xia family's properties?" she asked.
"According to your previous layout, the properties under the Xia family's name are now in various situations, and the tenants on Zhuangzi are also making trouble. Mr. Xia cannot handle it at all."
Zhuxuan smiled and said: "If we follow the current trend, all the Xia family's shops will be closed soon. If you are lucky, you will lose less. If you are not lucky, I am afraid that the Xia family will be in debt."
Luo Tong nodded, with a cold smile on his lips.
Xia Zhihe's industries are even easier to operate than Li's. They have many problems, including cutting corners, cheating, and underpaying wages.
Luo Tong only needs to dig out these hidden things and publish them all at once, which will be enough to have a huge impact on Xia Zhihe's industry.
It seems that Xia Zhihe found the manager of the Li family probably just for money...
"Xia Zhihe didn't ask Sun Jiaolan or the Sun family for help?" Luo Tong suddenly asked.
If it were before, Xia Zhihe would definitely look for Li, but Luo Tong still doesn't know what Li's situation is?
Now all Li has left is the cash and objects in the house, all of which were made by Luo Tong!
The current Li family can't help Xia Zhihe at all!
"Master Xia has approached the Second Madam, but Mr. Xia did not give a specific reason, so the Second Madam declined and did not agree."
The Xia family now has a lot of informants. Although they don't know everything, they can still control most things.
"Sun Jiaolan refused to help, and Xia Zhihe didn't blame her?" Luo Tong was a little surprised.
She also heard that Xia Zhihe took Sun Jiaolan out to a restaurant yesterday!
"The second lady's dowry has been well hidden. Mr. Xia didn't know what specific dowry she had, so the second lady just said that she was a concubine and didn't have much dowry, so she got by with it."
Luo Tong didn't expect that Sun Jiaolan would be able to hide it. At least she knew that Sun Jiaolan had several profitable properties.
Although it was completely incomparable to the previous Li family, it was still a small savings. Unexpectedly, Xia Zhihe didn't know about it at all.
When Sun Jiaolan was brought into the Xia family, Mr. Sun had high hopes, so he took a lot of care in the dowry, otherwise Sun Jiaolan would not have been able to have such a large dowry.
As for why Xia Zhihe didn't tell Sun Jiaolan, let alone go to Mr. Sun, Luo Tong could guess a little bit.
From Luo Tong's point of view, after Xia Zhihe attracted Master Sun to join the prince's camp, he originally wanted to secure his dominant position and have more say in front of the prince.
Therefore, Xia Zhihe would naturally hope to be stronger in front of Sun Jiaolan and Mr. Sun. This kind of thing would obviously make him appear incompetent. How could Xia Zhihe let the Sun family and his daughter know the truth?
Xia Zhihe couldn't get money from Sun Jiaolan, and couldn't talk to Mr. Sun, so he had to find another way.
Now that Xia Zhihe has made some moves and involved the Li family, Luo Tong will naturally send people to keep an eye on this area.
But on the other side of the Xu family, she didn't relax at all.
Regarding the Xu family, it is not only Luo Tong's own business, but also related to Wu Zechen, Prince Lao An and the old princess.
"How is the progress on the Xu family's side?" This time, Luo Tong asked about Lindong on the other side.
The Xu family's affairs were followed up by Lindong and Wu Manying. The Xu family's secret actions came to light because of Concubine Xu's relationship, which gave Luo Tong a clue.
However, it was not Lindong who answered Luo Tong, but Wu Zechen who had just entered.
"The Xu family, ha! What a Xu family!"
The cold voice came into the room, but it was not directed at Luo Tong, but towards the Xu family.
Luo Tong looked at Wu Zechen, who was full of anger, and couldn't help but be surprised. After all, Wu Zechen rarely showed such an emotional look, and he was very restrained most of the time.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Luo Tong just wanted to get up, but was helped back down by Wu Zechen who took a few steps closer.
Wu Zechen did not answer immediately, but leaned against Luo Tong's side, took over the action in her hands, and gently shook the fan for her to cool her down a little.
Luo Tong is already in the middle of the month, and it's the scorching heat, which makes her somewhat intolerable. She is now more and more afraid of the heat, so she always has to put more ice basins in the house.
Now Wu Zechen will always finish what he is doing as soon as possible and return home early to accompany Luo Tong.
Seeing her bloated body and struggling with a bulging belly, Wu Zechen still felt heartbroken even though she never complained about anything.
He secretly made up his mind that if Luo Tong didn't want to have another baby, he would just give birth to this baby. He didn't want to force her, and he didn't want her to work so hard.
It doesn't matter if this child is a daughter, because it is the fruit of their love.
Luo Tong didn't know what Wu Zechen was thinking at the moment, but seeing his unhurried look, he couldn't help but ask anxiously.
"Tell me quickly, what did the Xu family do? To make you so angry?"
After Wu Zechen took care of Luo Tong, he frowned and said, "The Xu family sits in the position of Minister of Household Affairs. Over the years, they have been embezzling money from the imperial court, even the money used by the imperial court for disaster relief!"
"If disasters occur in various places and they are unable to deal with them on their own, the government will need to allocate funds. These funds can be life-saving money for the victims!"
"But the Xu family deducts a large amount of money from each disaster relief fund!"
"Every time we lose so much money, you can imagine how many victims have no clothes or food to eat because of this! And how many victims have lost their lives because of this!"
When Wu Zechen said he was angry, he couldn't help but want to raise his hand to hit Ruantan, but suddenly remembered that Luo Tong was beside him, so he forcibly retracted his hand.
"Is the Xu family so courageous? Have they all been swallowed up by the Xu family? Don't others have any opinions? After all, there are others who have noticed this, right?" Luo Tong frowned, his face also full of anger.
But she couldn't help but wonder: "Also, the Xu family is from the prince's side. King Jin and King Qin are watching so closely. They wish they could catch the prince's mistakes and strike hard. Could it be that they are not involved in this matter?" Making a fuss?"
The King of Jin and the King of Qin have always been in the capital. Normally, after so many years, they should not have noticed the actions of the Xu family at all, and the two left and right ministers of the Ministry of Household are members of the King of Jin and the King of Qin respectively.
Wu Zechen hadn't noticed before that it was normal for the Xu family to be so greedy, but the second-in-command of the Household Department was from King Jin and King Qin. Is there any reason why they didn't notice it at all?
"Hmph! The world is as dark as crows!"
