Chapter 1861: Is the Fan Family So Faced?
"Is there no one who can stop him?"
Old Madam Fan was unwilling to give up. Suddenly, she sneered, "He is just an official who was demoted from the capital. I heard that he offended a noble in the capital. Who in the court doesn't know his background? Who is afraid of him? You should prepare a valuable gift and go to the provincial capital of Huaixi to pay a visit to the prefect. No matter what, you should bring down this Lord Shao! I want to see what he can do when the time comes!"
The two Mr. Fans looked at each other.
What on earth was their mother thinking? Their Anze Prefecture was the farthest and most remote place from the provincial capital in Huaixi Province. It was separated by mountains and had inconvenient transportation. In addition, Anze Prefecture was adjacent to three provinces and was entrenched with bandits. For many years, it was a well-known no-man's land.
Even though it belongs to Huaixi Province, the prefect has never been here, nor has he sent anyone here. More than ten years ago, he had already stopped caring about Anze Prefecture and did not even collect taxes. He said that it was a "grace" to Anze Prefecture, allowing the local prefect to collect local taxes for his own use.
The local families in Anze Prefecture have very little contact with the provincial capital.
Their mother asked them to suddenly run to the provincial capital to find the prefect and ask him to deal with the governor - does the Fan family have the nerve to do that?
Besides, the prefect would love to have an official willing to serve in Anze Prefecture. As long as nothing goes wrong, he would be grateful. Unless he is stupid, he would not touch the prefect of Anze Prefecture.
The Fan family was a huge family in Anze Prefecture. When they really arrived in the provincial capital, what else would they have besides money? How could it be so easy to ask the prefect to do such a big thing as dismissing an official from the imperial court when they had no personal relationship with him?
I'm afraid it wouldn't be that easy for them to get into the back hall of the prefectural government office...
I'm afraid mom has gone crazy, right?
Master Fan and Master Fan were very depressed. What happened to my mother? Did she have to fight to the death with the prefect?
"Mother, distant water cannot quench immediate thirst. Besides, our family has no relationship with the prefect. How can such a thing be done so easily? We must first get through this hurdle..."
Mr. Fan knew how to dissuade his mother.
Old Madam Fan said coldly, "I know what you are thinking. You just blame me for being nosy and for not letting me off the hook. But don't you think that the prefect surnamed Shao is clearly targeting our Fan family. First he detained you, then fined you. Mrs. Shao is clearly looking for trouble and taking advantage of the situation. The prefect is using this as an excuse to manipulate our Fan family's shop. Ha, do you really think that at this point you can just come and apologize and give in and get things done?"
"I think this prefect is very narrow-minded. He will not stop until he has ruined our Fan family. It is not easy for him to find an excuse. Why should our Fan family go to seek humiliation? You should have some temper!"
Master Fan II couldn't help but say, "Other families checked their land and reported it, but we concealed it and were found out. It's no wonder we were punished! If Ruyin hadn't taken the initiative to get involved in the banquet yesterday, how could this have happened?"
"Shut up! You're lecturing me!"
"I don't dare to tell mother, I don't care about this matter anymore, mother said so then let's do it! Let big brother go to the provincial capital, I won't go anyway! Is it so easy to get into the prefectural government? Isn't this just asking for humiliation?"
