Chapter 1726 Unwilling
At a time like this, if I were to take charge, maybe the prefect would push this troublesome matter onto me, wouldn't that be asking for trouble?
After much deliberation, Guanzhou Cheng finally decided to continue recuperating.
Deep down in his heart, he hoped that Shao Yunduan would suffer misfortune.
I wish the bandits could steal more rice seeds.
Only when Shao Yunduan is unlucky, in a desperate situation, will he think of asking him for help, and only then will he regain his dignity...
However, having said that, he couldn't rest and recuperate peacefully, so he asked his wife to go to the East Courtyard more often and visit Mrs. Shao.
Maybe I can find out something from Mrs. Shao.
Mrs. Guan rejected this deep down in her heart.
Ask her to visit Qiao Xuan whenever she wants? She doesn't want to!
She wanted to suppress Qiao Xuan in every way, but she found that she was suppressed by her whenever she met her. She wished she didn't see her at all.
But since it concerned her husband's future, Mrs. Guan had to go no matter how reluctant she was.
No matter what she was thinking, after all, she was doing it under the guise of visiting, so Qiao Xuan couldn't refuse to see her.
But this Madam Guan was really unpleasant. Whenever she spoke, her voice was always sour and full of sarcasm, which made Qiao Xuan angry.
Two days later, when Madam Guan came again, she asked Lixia and others to send her away, saying that she was resting or was busy with mansion affairs and had no time.
Mrs. Guan was angry and did not come again.
On Shao Yunduan's side, according to his arrangements, the rice seeds were delivered to each place in an orderly manner.
The people sent by Meng Wanfu and Ding Xiang were also secretly assigned, and together with Sun Bai, Sun Qian, Zheng Sangge, A Ye and others, they provided strict protection, and no further accidents occurred.
It was not that those bandits let them go. As Jia Heming expected, the success of Hutouzhai made Minjiazhai and Liuhebao ready to make a move, and even Hutouzhai was greedy.
Moreover, Shao Yunduan issued a document that was not very harmful but quite insulting. While the three families were laughing at him, they also wanted to teach the prefect a lesson and let him know that one cannot speak carelessly!
The three families successively arranged people to go down the mountain to hijack.
This was the first time that the government was caught off guard. This time, the bandits also thought that the nerdy Lord Shao would definitely send more people.
Although they thought those yamen runners were just there to pass the time and they didn't take them seriously, but with so many of them it would take more effort to deal with them, so they sent more people down the mountain.
Stealing things from the nerdy prefect is something that can be boasted about for three years, and the bandits from various mountain strongholds are vying to go down the mountain to do this!
It is said that because the government of Anze Prefecture is too incompetent and too poor, these mountain kings have never robbed the government over the years. Now that they finally have the opportunity, who would be willing to let it go?
Everyone clamored to go, so much so that in the end they had to decide by drawing lots. Those who got the lottery were overjoyed, while those who didn't were devastated.
Before any action was taken, people in the village had already started preparing to slaughter sheep and pigs and prepare wine for the celebration.
But I didn't expect that this time would be completely different from the last time...
Sun Bai and Sun Qian are the best men from the Prince's Mansion. Zheng Sangge and others bravely resisted foreign invasions in the northern border and killed enemies one against ten. Who among them who could survive such brutal wars could be a good person?
