There were clues for ten taels.
Catching the arsonist would yield one hundred taels.
The destroyed wheat was worth thirty taels, and with this calculation, it was undoubtedly a loss.
Yet Qiao Xiaomai couldn't swallow the anger of having ten thousand jin of wheat burnt down for no reason.
So, even at a loss of over a hundred taels silver, the arsonist had to be found.
Upon hearing this, Yang Ye immediately said, "I will add five hundred taels, as long as the arsonist is found, I will reward him with five hundred taels!"
Five hundred taels was definitely a large amount in the countryside.
Previously, even when Qiao Changshun received fifty taels, it caused a huge sensation, let alone five hundred taels. For a frugal peasant family, this could last a lifetime.
When Sun Family heard this number, her facial muscles twitched violently, and her eyes shone with greed.
Why hadn't she gone to stake out at Qiao Xiaomai's fields last night!
