Chapter 1831 Qiao Xuan's Visit
In fact, there was a layer of frost on Mrs. Fan's face at this moment. As soon as Qiao Xuan sat down, she sneered at her and said, "Mrs. Shao's coming at this time really makes people think too much! What does Mr. Shao mean by detaining my two sons!"
Qiao Xuan smiled slightly, "Didn't the two Master Fan write back a letter? Could it be that they didn't explain the matter clearly? We adults acted according to the law and only fined one thousand taels of silver, which was already a mercy. But I think the old lady might have wild thoughts, so I came here in person to explain everything to the old lady."
"This is all from the heart of our family!"
Fan Ruyin couldn't help but say, "Mrs. Shao, what you said sounds nice. Our family's money didn't come from the wind. You asked for nearly ten thousand taels. Isn't that a bit too much... I'm a straightforward person. Please don't be angry, Mrs. Shao!"
"Yes, Madam Shao, let's discuss this matter carefully! There is nothing that cannot be negotiated, don't you think? Our Fan family is a well-known and well-known family in Anzezhou. Lord Shao has given us a break and saved our family's dignity. Naturally, the Fan family will return the favor..."
The Fan family will return the favor by, of course, cooperating with Lord Shao in future governance. When Lord Shao needs help, the Fan family will also be happy to lend a hand...
Mrs. Fan was afraid that Fan Ruyin would say something arrogant and add fuel to the fire, which would cause trouble, so she quickly smiled and said something.
Mrs. Fan also smiled and nodded repeatedly in agreement.
The two of them were afraid of Mrs. Fan and her daughter.
Especially Fan Ruyin, she was too domineering, which made her husband so angry that he became alienated from her and treated her like a cold and indifferent stranger. She just couldn't stand seeing others doing well.
Not to mention to other people, he is also sarcastic to his family members all day long.
Mrs. Fan seemed to be submissive when she heard these words. She snorted coldly, glanced at her two daughters-in-law, and said nothing.
In front of others, she also knew to give them some face.
Qiao Xuan was not moved at all. She had the confidence to confront the Fan family. She was not here to negotiate, but to warn them.
"The two Madams Fan must have misunderstood," Qiao Xuan continued with a smile, and said calmly, "There doesn't seem to be much to discuss about this matter, right? Our master has already let it go!"
Old Mrs. Fan was furious: "You are detaining people, and this is called showing leniency!"
"Isn't it?" Qiao Xuan looked at her and said, "Madam Fan, your Fan family concealed the truth first, and when it was discovered, you need to pay additional taxes and fines. Isn't this justified? According to the laws of the Qin Dynasty, you should be fined more than two thousand taels, but we only fined one thousand taels. Isn't this a leniency?"
"But even if we have to pay silver, no one will detain us in the government office!"
"If the full amount is not paid, we cannot release them. This is in line with the laws of the Qin Dynasty. Madam Fan can check it out herself if she doesn't believe it." Qiao Xuan still smiled: "Today, we have only detained the two Master Fans. If they don't pay, then it must be that the matter is not clear enough, so the Fan family is dissatisfied and refuses to pay. Our masters have said that this is understandable. In this case, this matter must be made clear! Anyone involved in this matter must be taken to the government office for questioning, including the manager of the farm, the housekeepers of the mansion, the confidants of the two Master Fans, the housekeeper's nanny beside Madam Fan... and so on. No one can be left behind!"
"I think after asking around, you'll understand it more or less!"
Everyone in the Fan family: "..."
