Chapter 281

Song Jiyun suddenly became interested and asked Eleventh Grand Master Song in detail about the matter, "Who told you about this? Has anything like this happened before?"

Eleventh Grand Master Song laughed and said, "The Xiong Family of Second Young Miss's in-laws were able to buy such a large piece of forest land in Wuyuan because their ancestors had a relative who was a clerk at the Wuyuan County Yamen. He got early news that when a family of officials in Wuyuan was being investigated, they spent some silver to grease the wheels."

As he spoke, he also pointed in the direction of Yinyu Hall, "Isn't there a ready example right beside us? You're asking me, but it would be better to ask your son-in-law!"

When Song Jiyun thought of her visit to Yuan Yunzhong and the thick stack of official documents on his desk, she laughed and said, "You should also help me keep an eye on this."

Eleventh Grand Master Song readily agreed.
