Chapter 1812: Misunderstanding
"Oh, the richer you are, the more stingy you become. Who would complain about having too much money?"
"That's what Master Shao should do!"
"These two masters are really interesting. They actually forgot such a big thing and confessed it without being asked. Hehehe!"
"Why……"
Zheng Sangge's eyes were bright. All the people he brought were useful. Some were his own people, and some were former yamen runners. After training and hard work, they were completely different from before.
His momentum suppressed everyone in the Fan family.
Furthermore, not to mention the fact that they couldn't win the fight, even if they could, with the example of those hooligans, who would dare to openly attack the government officials? Do you want to be beaten and put in jail?
The two masters of the Fan family discovered that there was no solution to this situation unless the Fan family admitted it.
No, maybe it could have been bargained and discussed, but after what happened last night, there is no turning back.
It is impossible for Lord Shao to discuss this with them again!
Moreover, no one can say anything wrong about Lord Shao.
After all, it was the Fan family who took the first action.
Even if there is no evidence, but, do we need evidence? Everyone who should know knows what is going on.
But asking them to give in under such circumstances would be too humiliating...
At this moment, Guanzhou Cheng came hurriedly with two followers. When he saw the Shura scene, he was shocked.
He put on a smile and greeted them cheerfully. After he understood the situation, he said with a smile, "This matter cannot be delayed any longer. It must be resolved. Let's discuss it properly! How about this, Master Fan, Master Fan II, let's go into the mansion and discuss it?"
With a way out, the two masters of the Fan family felt relieved and naturally nodded in agreement. They politely invited Guan Zhoucheng into the Fan Mansion.
It would be best if the governor of Guanzhou came and discussed it with their mother.
Zheng Sangge had no objection. He personally led people to guard the door of Fan Mansion and ordered everyone to stay there. No one was allowed to enter but not leave.
He thought to himself that Lord Shao was right. The Chancellor of Guanzhou should have been mixed in the crowd and watching. When he saw that things had reached the final step, he jumped out to reap the benefits.
This matter was originally assigned to him by Lord Shao, so it was only natural for him to take over.
Oh, let's see what the result of his discussion with the Fan family is. The old lady of the Fan family is not so easy to talk to...
Sure enough, Mrs. Fan was very angry.
He cursed in front of Guanzhou Cheng. Although he didn't name anyone, Guanzhou Cheng felt uncomfortable.
After all, he is also a government official.
However, Guanzhou Cheng did not have the confidence and strength like Shao Yunduan to challenge the Fan family. No matter how harshly Old Lady Fan scolded him, he had to listen and try his best to act open and calm, as if Old Lady Fan was not scolding him and there was no need for him to take it personally.
It was only at this time that the prefect of Guanzhou learned that the Fan family had more than 260,000 acres of land, but only 150,000 acres were registered with the government.
A total of more than 50,000 acres were concealed.
You know, there are not many paddy fields in Anze Prefecture, unlike places like Jiangnan where there are abundant fertile fields. Fifty thousand acres is already a lot.
Guanzhou Cheng was shocked!
Old Madam Fan was determined not to pay more taxes for so many acres of land, and she kept saying that her family had made a lot of contributions to the government over the years, and Lord Shao should not be so heartless as a new official. If he continued to force the Fan family, at worst, everyone would die together.
