The confidant immediately reported everything about Ge Chunru from leaving Beicheng to the mine and then to Heyang County.

Hearing this, Xiao Yuanshi's face couldn't help but darken further.

He raised his hand and pinched his brows, "You mean, now the Madam and the guards she brought with her are all locked up in the prison in Heyang County?"

The henchman nodded, "Yes."

"I'm also trying to talk to the county magistrate to see if he can release the lady first."

"But when I went to the county government, I found out that the eldest son was the magistrate of Heyang County, and even my request to visit him was rejected."

Xiao Yuanshi was stunned for a moment, "What did you say, Xiao Hanzheng is the magistrate of Heyang County?"

The confidant replied, "Well, the eldest son was transferred to Heyang County as the county magistrate last month."

"So it's very difficult to get him to let his wife go."

He added cautiously, "Besides, the Madam not only beat Xiao Dalang before, but also had the old lady and the old man beaten."

"Now the people of the Xiao family are also keeping an eye on Madam."

This was also beyond Xiao Yuanshi's expectations. "She actually had someone beat up my parents?"

When the confidant heard the news, he also felt that the lady was going too far.

"Yes, the county yamen runners saw it with their own eyes. Madam asked the maid to push the old lady down and slapped her several times."

"The women were all taken and slapped."

"They also ordered the old man and all the male members of the Xiao family to lie down and be beaten with a stick."

Whoever has a daughter-in-law like this will be unlucky.

In his heart, he couldn't help but feel sympathy for his own deputy governor.

Xiao Yuanshi's face couldn't be any darker, "How dare she?"

He really didn't expect Ge Chunru to be so bold that he even dared to beat his parents.

Although he had some opinions about his parents, they were the ones who gave birth to him and raised him! How could Ge Chunru treat his parents so badly? Especially the old man, who had always been good to him and was not partial to him at home like the old lady.

He has always had some feelings for the old man, but now at such an old age, he is being beaten with a stick by his wife.

This made Xiao Yuanshi feel very uncomfortable.

The confidant asked reluctantly, "Master, what do you think we should do now?"

Xiao Yuanshi leaned back in his chair and pondered for a moment before he spoke: "Since Madam is so capable, let's put her in jail for a while to clear her mind."

If he went to Heyang County in person, even if he successfully brought the person out, that eldest son and the bad daughter-in-law would definitely let everyone know that his deputy governor's wife beat up the court officials and her parents-in-law.

He was thrown into jail for breaking the law knowingly, but he used his power for personal gain and got people out.

How can he establish his authority?

And he couldn't leave at all. After handing over the job of deputy governor, he found many problems.

The former deputy governor must have discovered some secret of Prince Jin, so he was killed.

Prince Jin's people were also constantly contacting him in an attempt to win him over, and they even planted a lot of obstacles in his way.

If he were to leave for a few days, it was very likely that even the people around him would be infiltrated, and he was worried.

He now has to deal with the powerful people in North City and King Jin's people every day. He is already very tired and Ge Chunru is still looking for trouble for him.

Since you are so noisy, you should reflect on yourself in prison.

It is of course shameful to have a wife who has been to jail, but now that they are already in jail, Xiao Yuanshi doesn't want to care about it anymore.

"If Xiao Hanzheng still hasn't released his wife after ten days, you should go to Heyang County and try to talk to him to see what conditions they want in order to release his wife."

Of course, we can't just leave it alone, we still have to get the person back.

But I couldn't force my eldest son, so I could only negotiate the terms.

The confidant said respectfully: "Yes!"

He also did not punish him because he knew that this matter could not be entirely blamed on his confidants.

The henchman breathed a sigh of relief, “Yes!”

I have a lot of opinions about Ge Chunru. This lady is so noisy and annoying.

A few days later, Xiao Hanzheng received news from Beicheng.

I told Shi Qingluo about it that night.

"The scumbag dad is not going to care about Ge Xiaoniang for the time being. He is thinking that if we don't release her after more than ten days, he will send someone to negotiate with us."

Shi Qingluo thought for a moment and said, "Then let's ask the Xiao family to postpone their trip to North City for a few days."

She laughed and said, "Our scumbag dad has come to our doorstep for us to take advantage of. If we don't take advantage of him, we will be really sorry for his efforts."

Xiao Hanzheng hugged her and asked with a smile: "What do you want to grab this time?"

The scumbag dad doesn't have much money left, so you won't get much from this.

Shi Qingluo smiled and said, "Pull someone out."

"Although the scumbag dad only came to Northern Frontier recently, this is also the place where he started his career. He must have a lot of useful people under his command. We have to poach his people."

"Heyang County is not only short of money, but also of talent. We need all kinds of craftsmen, and we also need a few people who are good at planting."

She is not afraid of her scumbag father stealing her technology. Even if there are no people with her scumbag father, there will be people of King Jin who will steal her technology.

Moreover, as long as you can win over the people given by the scumbag father, they can become your own people.

"Those who have indentures must all sell their indentures, and those who have families must bring their families along."

"In short, we must not let our scumbag father have any leverage over these people, so they won't betray us easily."

There is a real shortage of manpower here. The craftsmen are all half-baked and can’t even improve a machine.

Although Xiao Mu and his son came along, there were only two of them and they were far too busy to handle the situation.

Of course, they also need to cultivate some confidants, but they have to find a group of people to do the work first.

Xiao Hanzheng thought it made sense, "Okay, I'll arrange this."

Find out who is available, then ask the scumbag dad directly for it.

Shi Qingluo smiled and said, "Besides, the conditions we proposed will definitely be readily agreed to by the scumbag father this time."

I think we can place someone on their side.

In fact, the couple now want to develop Heyang County, and they will welcome anyone who has the ability.

If there are people who betray you, just get rid of them.

On this point, he believed that his young husband could do a good job.

In fact, even if they don't use people from scumbag fathers, it is easy for spies or people who steal knowledge to sneak in when they recruit people from outside.

It’s better to just use the one from your scumbag dad, at least you know his background.

In addition to the scumbag father, it would be even better if he could also steal the girl from King Jin.

She has a lot of ideas in her head and is not afraid of being imitated.

Xiao Hanzheng smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll take care of the rest."

Heyang County is too poor. People with some skills have left with their families. It is difficult to find a few craftsmen who can build a house, let alone other industries.

So don’t worry about anything else for now, just get the person and develop Heyang County first.

He would then think of a way to make all of his scumbag father's people completely theirs, so that his scumbag father would not even have a place to cry in the future.

There are some problems with the next chapter. I deleted half of it and rewrote it. It is expected to be posted in half an hour~ 　　 　 (End of this chapter)
