Chapter 1909: Fear
Qiao Xuan used the excuse that she was busy and had no time, and refused to let Mrs. Guan in at all.
Mrs. Guan had used this kind of thing as an excuse to put people off many times before. Now the situation had changed, and it was Qiao Xuan's turn to put her off.
Mrs. Guan was annoyed and angry, and secretly cursed Qiao Xuan for being a mean person who looked down on others. However, she did not give up and had to accompany the smiling fellow doorman to socialize. After that, she came three or four more times, but was not able to get in every time.
At this time, there was no way Qiao Xuan would see her.
She just wants to make those who feel guilty or have something to hide feel even more guilty and have something to hide.
Mrs. Guan was indeed frightened, wondering if Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan knew something, which was why Qiao Xuan refused to see her.
The couple discussed the matter behind closed doors, but could not come to any conclusion.
Although Guan Shuli is still a clerk and still works in the yamen, he is forbidden to approach and participate in many places.
He didn't dare to ask around, for fear of arousing suspicion.
Guan Shuli gritted his teeth. It looked like Lord Shao really doubted him. There was no turning back, so he might as well give it a try.
At noon that day, the clerk disguised himself and left the city...
Less than two days after the Fan family received the compensation and all the aftermath arrangements were almost completed, Shao Yunduan found Jia Heming and asked him to go to General Huaixi and persuade him to send troops to support them.
The fact that we were able to wipe out Hutouzhai in one go was indeed because we took advantage of the other party's contempt, negligence and surprise.
Now, Minjiazhai and Liuhebao must have united together and will definitely become very vigilant!
Even Hang Xingshan couldn't guarantee that he had a clear idea of their true strength.
After all, no one ever had the chance to visit their lair.
Who knows if they have any hidden cards? Shao Yunduan can't afford this risk. If he makes a mistake, it won't just be a failure. Countless lives will be lost.
When Jia Heming heard Shao Yunduan ask him to take 100,000 silver notes to ask for help, he immediately patted his chest and agreed.
Nothing could be more affordable and convincing than this.
One hundred thousand silver coins!
General Huaixi has 20,000 troops under his command, responsible for patrolling and guarding the entire Huaixi County. Suppressing bandits is his job. If the bandits in Anze Prefecture were not a tough nut to crack, he would have taken action long ago.
Shao Yunduan brought 100,000 silver coins to invite him, so he had no reason to refuse.
Even if it's for the sake of a hundred thousand silver coins, I will definitely make this trip!
You have to know that the annual salary paid by the court is only so much. He had no way to buy better equipment and weapons for the army or more horses. He submitted memorials every year, but they fell on deaf ears.
If you can get 100,000 silver coins at once, what would you worry about?
Jia Heming set off quickly.
He had received 300,000 silver coins, but before he could even enjoy the moment, one third of it was gone.
Shao Yunduan was calculating that of the remaining 200,000, half would have to be presented as tribute to the prefect, leaving 100,000 in the yamen. Together with the proceeds from the auction of Fan family's land, it would be enough to reward everyone and make some good plans.
Oh, by the way, the government still owes his wife hundreds of thousands of silver coins, and this has to be paid back slowly...
Minjiazhai and Liuhebao were in action.
They have no choice but to move, no matter what the consequences!
Since Shao Yunduan has already destroyed Hutou Village, he will definitely not let them go.
