Chapter 1906 Share Together
Qiao Xuan has always been unwilling to accept benefits from other people for free, and she would never accept any benefits during this festive occasion.
Qiao Xuan treated everyone who came to visit her warmly, but all gifts were allowed to be taken back as is.
She also hinted that if there is anything, just tell her and she will do whatever she needs to do. Almost everything can be solved...
The laws in ancient times were more lax, and many crimes could be redeemed with silver. Moreover, the situation in Anze Prefecture was complicated, and it was impossible to severely punish every family that had had dealings with the bandits, as that would cause a big mess.
Under Qiao Xuan's explicit and implicit hints, some visitors did not dare to believe it easily, but they also knew that this prefect's wife was stubborn and different from the previous prefects' wives. She was not easy to buy over, so they had to give up with regret.
Some ladies felt that the prefect's wife was a straightforward and upright person who could be trusted, so they tentatively expressed their requests.
What each of them asked for... wasn't really anything excessive, they just asked the prefect's wife to let them have the first sip of the remaining broth after eating the meat.
Only then did Qiao Xuan understand why these people were so enthusiastic about this matter, and it was quite ridiculous.
It would be wrong for Qiao Xuan to say that she didn't want any of the land and properties that the Fan family had to give up. How could she miss such a great opportunity to buy?
Anyway, she is not asking for it for free, so she can just buy it at the market price! She will not let the government suffer any loss.
Of course, it was impossible for her to swallow up all the properties and lands that the Fan family had vomited out in one gulp. Although she could swallow them, it would be too ugly to do so, which was not good at all.
Since someone was asking about it, Qiao Xuan naturally did not hesitate to explain.
It would be better to take this opportunity to make it clear to everyone.
Qiao Xuan smiled and told everyone what she meant. She was not leaving the broth for everyone to drink, but everyone was eating meat together. After all, it was all for the good of Anzezhou City! It was all for the development of Anzezhou...
Everyone was delighted and started to plan how to bid and which place to buy.
Some people don't believe Qiao Xuan.
Qiao Xuan was too lazy to explain further.
There were also some people who were pushing their luck further, as if they thought Qiao Xuan was easy to talk to, so they couldn't help but test her, trying various ways to get a "definite answer" from Qiao Xuan, asking her to promise them that they could buy certain places from her.
I want to decide in advance.
Qiao Xuan didn't say much about this.
There is no way she could make any guarantees to anyone!
Don't even think about it.
When the government organizes an auction, she will of course have the first choice. Anyway, her husband said that this kind of "abuse of power for personal gain" is completely legal. Even if the couple only pays a symbolic amount of money, no one will think they are doing anything wrong, not to mention that Qiao Xuan plans to pay according to the market price.
Then it will be the turn of other buyers. Unless they have reached a secret agreement with the government in advance, the one with the highest bid will win.
However, Shao Yunduan had no intention of reaching any secret deal with anyone.
This time, the Fan family paid a heavy price!
However, Jia Heming and other clerks and servants, as well as the common people in the city, all felt that Lord Shao was truly a kind-hearted man and had shown special kindness to the Fan family!
No matter when, collaborating with bandits is a road of no return. Very few people can turn back.
