Youqing frowned. She had met Shen Jia'an before, and he shouldn't be a corrupt official. Merchants like the Yun family should have been investigated and dealt with long ago.
Could there be more to the story?
Or perhaps the Yun family has powerful backing?
She knows to ask Shen Jia'an for help when she does business, so there's no reason why the "richest man" shouldn't have a powerful backer.
"Does the Yun family have someone backing them?"
The head shopkeeper nodded: "Madam Yun's maternal uncle is the prefect of Anning Prefecture. Although the relationship is somewhat distant, I don't know how the two families got together, but they have always kept in touch. Relying on the prefect's big tree, the Yun family has done countless things in Sanbo County over the years, but no one can really do anything to the Yun family. Over the years, they have developed an arrogant attitude."
Since Lord Shen arrived and became fearless in the face of power, the Yun family has become somewhat more restrained, but only somewhat. They are rotten to the core. I just heard from the master that the Yun family's steward has arrived. It seems the Yun family has their eyes on our Wutong Garden business and wants to seize it for themselves. The Yun family has done things like this before.”
After listening, Youqing sighed. "They really don't let people have peace of mind."
For Madam Yun, a merchant's wife, to be connected with the prefect is a joke! One is an official, the other a merchant; the official has power, the merchant has money.
The only thing that could bring them close was mutual benefit.
"Since the Yun family has such plans, they will certainly not let this go easily. Have someone keep an eye out for them recently, and don't let them take advantage of any loopholes. It hasn't been easy for Wutong Garden to have been running for so long. As for the Yun family, I will find a way to deal with them."
The head manager trusted Youqing implicitly and replied, "Yes, sir."
After the head manager left, Youqing left the Wutong Garden and went to the Shen family.
"Young Master You, what brings you here?"
The two discussed cooperation. This was the first time You Qing had visited Shen's residence. Shen Jia'an was somewhat surprised by her sudden visit. Could it be that something was wrong?
"There's something I need to talk to the adults about, and we need to discuss how to do it."
"you say."
Youqing is crucial to the development of Sanbo County, so the matter that warrants her personal visit must be of great importance.
"Does Your Excellency know the Yun family?"
The Yun family?
He knew the Yun family all too well; they were not only the most powerful tyrant in Sanbo County, but also an uncontrollable bully.
