Chapter 2177 Dumbfounded
It was said to be an escort, but in fact it was surveillance.
They were not allowed to take any private actions along the way.
When they arrived at the provincial capital, there were only two clerks with twenty or thirty people welcoming them outside the city. Shao Yunduan was not there, Jia Heming was not there, and neither were all the important figures such as Sun Bai, Sun Qian, Hang Xingshan, Zheng Sangge, etc.
Lord Yang questioned with a gloomy face.
Zhang Shuli smiled and replied, "It's really unfortunate. Our master was too busy and worried recently, so he fell ill. Now he is recuperating in the farm outside the city. Others are very busy and can't spare time, so a few of us will help Madam Shao receive the master and his party."
"It's getting late, sir, please go to the post station and settle down first. Madam Shao will definitely ask you to meet her tomorrow morning."
Lord Yang and Magistrate Liu were both dumbfounded!
Not only them, but all the people who were accompanying them were dumbfounded!
You look at me, I look at you: Mrs. Shao? It's Mrs. Shao, right? Did I hear it right?
"What, what does that mean!" Lord Yang felt that he really couldn't understand it. He felt that he must have understood it wrongly and it must not be what he thought.
Zhang Shuli secretly laughed at this and thought to himself, what kind of imperial envoy is this? With such little courage, he is still an imperial envoy! Aren't you afraid of being laughed at for saying this?
"Our Lord Shao has fallen ill due to excessive worry and overwork, and is now recuperating in a farm outside the city. Therefore, our Madam Shao will be responsible for receiving the two Lords! Don't worry, this matter has been agreed by our Lord Shao. If the two Lords have anything to say, you can tell our Madam Shao!"
Lord Yang and Magistrate Liu looked at each other, feeling extremely angry.
Same? How can it be the same?
Lord Shao is an official appointed by the imperial court after all. He did not deal with the matter of amnesty personally, but let Madam Shao come forward. This shows that he has no intention of surrendering and does not take the emperor seriously at all.
Of course, he didn't even take the two imperial envoys seriously.
Lord Yang wanted so much that he just left in anger after saying some harsh words!
In that case, why not just leave? He wanted to see if Shao Yunduan would panic and beg him to come back.
But he didn't dare to gamble.
What if Shao Yunduan didn't chase him? How would he explain to the emperor if he went back like this?
When he came, he thought this was a very easy task to accomplish, but he patted his chest and made a promise in front of the emperor!
He now wants to beat himself to death at that time...
Lord Yang held back his anger and said, "Isn't this inappropriate? We are the imperial envoys sent by the emperor. The emperor has issued an order, and Lord Shao is requested to receive it. How can such an important matter be replaced by a woman? Since Lord Shao is resting outside the city, then please ask Zhang Shuli to take us directly to the manor outside the city tomorrow!"
When Lord Yang said this, he felt really aggrieved. Is there any imperial envoy who is in a worse situation than him? Absolutely not!
For the sake of the emperor, he had to endure such humiliation!
Unexpectedly, although he endured the humiliation, Zhang the clerk was not moved by him at all.
Zhang Shuli smiled and said earnestly, "Master Yang, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. There is nothing we can do about it, right? Our Master Shao has not had a good rest for a while. He is too worried. We have seen it and are very worried. Madam Shao has followed the orders of the old master and the old lady to force Master to rest. No one is allowed to disturb Master before he has recovered."
