Chapter 521

Baima Qiang.

Dong Yi nodded hurriedly and said: "That Baima Qiang Old King, Bai Long, my father does indeed know him."

Dong Yi had lived in Longxi since she was a child. In the past, Dong Zhuo was also the number one powerful clan in Longxi Commandery and had many connections with the Qiang people.

Even among the scholars under his command, there were many Qiang people.

Hearing Dong Yi's words, Gai Xun nodded and said: "Since that is the case, then I can reply to the Lord."

As Gai Xun spoke, he took out a few more letters from his sleeves.

"These are a few family letters sent by the Lord, asking me to give them to the ladies."

After Gai Xun took out the family letters, a maid came up to receive them and then passed them to Dong Yi, Diao Chan, and Su He.

The three ladies received Duan Yu's letters as if they were treasures, looking at the familiar ink, their eyes filled with longing.

After many matters were explained clearly, Dong Yi, Diao Chan, and Su He each returned to their own courtyards.

Jia Xu, Liu Bai Tu, and Jia Dong also left the Prefect's Mansion.

In Niu Yaodi's room.

Niu Yaodi was pacing back and forth on the floor of the luxuriously decorated room, the expression on her face extremely urgent.

From time to time, she looked toward the doorway.

Before long, Dong Huang walked into the room with a nervous expression.

"In broad daylight, why did you ask someone to find me? What if someone sees us?" Dong Huang closed the door after entering.

Niu Yaodi rolled her eyes and said: "You know to be afraid now? What were you doing before?"

"I asked you to come, naturally because there is something important to say!"

"What important matter? Didn't I tell you that your pregnancy…"

"It's not about this." Niu Yaodi interrupted Dong Huang: "I want to talk about something else."

Niu Yaodi looked toward the front yard of the Prefect's Mansion and said: "Do you know what I heard just now?"

"I was drinking tea with Yi'er and the others in the front yard just now, and one of Duan Yu's subordinates came from Jinyang."

"That person said they brought the money earned in these three months from Jinyang. Do you know how much?" Niu Yaodi only then revealed a shocked expression.

Dong Huang shook his head, looking at Niu Yaodi, somewhat confused.

Niu Yaodi stretched out five fingers.

"Five million *qian*?" Dong Huang answered tentatively.

Niu Yaodi pursed her lips and shook her head.

Hiss…

"Could it be fifty million?" Dong Huang widened his eyes in surprise.

"Fifty million?" Niu Yaodi waved her hand vigorously and said: "It's five hundred million, five hundred million *qian*!"

"Ah!"

Dong Huang was suddenly like a toad startled by thunder, staring with wide eyes and an open mouth: "How much… how much did you say?"

"Five hundred million?"

"You didn't hear wrong, did you?"

"Are you stupid? How could I hear wrong? So many people heard it; it's five hundred million!"

"Five hundred million *qian*!"

"Do you know how Duan Yu got this money?"

Dong Huang immediately shook his head like a rattle.

"It's from transporting salt from Hedong Commandery!"

Niu Yaodi said, looking at him with a look of "iron not becoming steel": "Look at you, and look at Duan Yu!"

"That is your own uncle. Hedong Commandery produces salt, and your own uncle is now the Prefect of Hedong Commandery. You, the eldest son of the Dong family, haven't been able to use that power, but Duan Yu, an outsider, has taken advantage of it. Five hundred million! That person said it was only for three months!"

"Three months, five hundred million *qian*!" ===== CHAPTER 523 =====
