Chapter 2092: Definitely Not Having Good Intentions
Shao Yunduan sneered. They certainly came with bad intentions.
The scrutiny and inquiry in Master Miao's eyes seemed to show that he had no intention of hiding anything from him, and it was clearly shown.
The rude behavior of those yamen runners was naturally condoned by Master Miao.
The person that Master Miao represented was naturally Prefect Liu.
Shao Yunduan had never dealt with Prefect Liu.
In the first two years after he came to Anzezhou, the prefectural government didn't even pay any attention to Anzezhou. He tried to say hello once, but the other party didn't respond, saying that he had full authority over Anzezhou.
Shao Yunduan knew that this was an attempt to shirk responsibility, so he tactfully did not look for Magistrate Liu again.
Later, the three princes fought for the throne, and various forces took the opportunity to cause chaos. The situation was in chaos. Local governments looked around in panic, watching how the situation would develop. They were busy taking care of themselves, so how could they have the time to care about other things?
Although it is still not unified, the situation is very different from before.
At this time, Prefect Liu suddenly sent someone over, and Shao Yunduan and the others couldn't help but think about it.
"What do you think is Master Miao's purpose for coming here this time?"
"Anyway, he definitely has no good intentions!" Jia Heming had no good feelings towards the prefect and the people in the prefect's office. Even if Shao Yunduan didn't ask, he would have told him.
"In the past, the prefect never even glanced at Anzezhou, but now he has suddenly sent people here, and brought so many yamen runners with him. It's obvious that he is up to no good. Sir, I'm going to say something inappropriate. I'm afraid that Prefect Liu wants to take over Anzezhou and bring Anzezhou under his control! He has no friendship with you, so it's hard to say whether he can tolerate you or how he will treat you. You should be aware of this, sir!"
"All of us admire you, sir, and are willing to follow you. If you don't get what you want, we may not end up well either."
"If it were before, even if you were transferred, as long as you didn't mind, I would just quit my job and follow you. It wouldn't be a big deal. But now..."
Now, no one can be transferred away from Shao Yunduan. Those princes can't take care of them.
But if Prefect Liu, his immediate superior, wanted to take him down, he could easily do so by finding an excuse.
This is why the county magistrate is not as good as the current one.
When that time really comes, Shao Yunduan won't even have anywhere to seek redress for his grievances.
Shao Yunduan felt heavy-hearted. This was what he was thinking after meeting Master Miao and his party.
Jia Heming's statement further confirmed that what he was thinking was correct.
"Tell me, how do we deal with those people?"
Jia Heming perked up and said firmly, "Anzezhou must not be handed over to Prefect Liu, no matter what he says. Your Excellency, we will listen to you. You can rest assured! If Prefect Liu gives up, then so be it. If he wants to use force, we must be prepared. No matter what you choose, Prefect Liu cannot interfere in Anzezhou."
"Then we can't be too soft on these explorers. Otherwise, they will only get more aggressive!"
Shao Yunduan nodded, "That's it. Tell them that according to the rules, they have to stay at the post station. If there is no room for others, we can arrange for them to stay in an inn. However, our Anze Prefecture government is poor and can only afford to arrange ordinary places. If they are not satisfied, we don't mind them finding their own place to stay."
