Three days later, Xiao Yuanshi’s trusted aide appeared in Heyang County.
Xiao Hanzheng received the news immediately as his trusted aide did not delay the matter and went straight to the county government office.
This time, Xiao Hancheng gave him an audience.
1
The two of them talked for more than an hour before his trusted aide left the county office.
He immediately wrote a letter and sent it to Northern City at the fastest speed possible.
After reading the letter, Xiao Yuanshi heaved a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he felt that something was wrong.
He was relieved because Xiao Hanzheng and his wife did not ask for too much this time.
If he had to give more silver, he really didn’t have much left.
He did have some craftsmen in his hands.
He had once bought them from the northern border, but he did not bring them to the capital last time.
After returning to Northern City, he had not used these people.
Now that he had used them to exchange for Ge Chunru, he did not feel too much heartache.
In addition, he could plant a few spies and see if he could obtain any useful information in the future, or perhaps obtain Shi Qingluo’s techniques in the workshops.
However, with his eldest son and his wife’s smart and astute characters, how could they not think of what he could think of?
He could not help but hesitate.
At this moment, Tao Liu was beside him, and her eyes also glanced at what was written in the letter.
She laughed in her heart.
Ge Chunru was getting more and more agitated.
She had actually done so many stupid things and even needed Xiao Yuanshi to use his people to redeem her.
“Governor, are you worried?” she asked, pretending to be concerned.
Xiao Yuanshi didn’t hide anything and told her what he was thinking.
Tao Liu thought for a while and said, “Either Xiao Hanzheng and his wife don’t care at all that there will be spies among the people you send. Or, they want to make your people theirs.”
She wasn’t trying to sow discord, but she couldn’t be on Xiao Hanzheng and his wife’s side on the surface.
She had to tell the truth so as not to arouse Xiao Yuanshi’s suspicion.
“If you don’t want to give them away, why don’t you discuss it with them and change it to something else?”
She sighed with a worried look.
“It’s just that the matter has been delayed here and there. I don’t know how much suffering Madam will have to suffer in prison.”
Xiao Yuanshi’s face darkened.
Tao Liu reached out to hold his hand as if to comfort him.
“General, Madam didn’t do it on purpose. She might have just wanted to avenge her brother, so she hit Eldest Grandson Xiao, the old master, and the old lady in a fit of anger.
“She definitely doesn’t intend to ruin the reputation of our deputy governor’s residence. Plus, she’s been locked up in prison, so she’s probably feeling terrible right now. Don’t blame her.”
It sounded like she was speaking for Ge Chunru, but in fact, she was just trying to put her in a negative light.
The straight-thinking man, Xiao Yuanshi, naturally couldn’t tell.
The more he heard, the angrier he got.
“How many times has she not done it on purpose? She was like this in the capital, and now it’s the same in the northern border.
“In the past, the general’s residence had already lost its reputation in the capital. After coming to Northern City, there were many things in the capital that no one knew about, but she did this to me again.
“She deserves to feel sad. She asked for it.”
He wouldn’t have been so angry if Liu Ru hadn’t mentioned it.
But now, he was really angry.
He was really afraid that this matter would spread at the northern border again.
Then, would he still have any face left?
What gave him the biggest headache was that Xiao Hanzheng and his wife had come to Northern Xinjiang.
He was really afraid of the two of them.
He thought that Xiao Hanzheng would always stay in Hanlin Academy, and even if he was transferred, he would go to a rich place.
But why did he take it so hard and come to the northern border?
Was he deliberately going against him?
Tao Liu hurriedly stretched out her hand to calm Xiao Yuanshi down.
“Don’t be angry, governor. We can only redeem Madam secretly.”
She pretended to sigh again.
“I just don’t know how Xiao Hanzheng and his wife are going to use these craftsmen. If they are of great use, you will suffer a great loss as the military governor.”
Then, she changed the topic.
“However, it’s worth it to lose some craftsmen in exchange for her safe return.”
Xiao Yuanshi wanted to curse. It was not worth it.
If Ge Chunru had gone to fetch Ge Chunyi without any trouble and did not go to Heyang County to settle her past grudges with Eldest Grandson Xiao, would there have been so many problems?
However, as time continued to drag on, the easier it was for problems to arise.
Ge Chunru continued to add to his troubles.
He took a deep breath.
“Forget it. This time, we’ll do an exchange according to the people Xiao Hanzheng requested.”
There wouldn’t be a next time. When Ge Chunru returned, he would ground her.
She just had to entertain those madams and young ladies in Northern City. She shouldn’t go further than Northern City. Otherwise, who knew what kind of trouble she would cause.
Tao Liu naturally took the opportunity to comfort Xiao Yuanshi and said a lot of good words about Ge Chunru.
However, the more she acted this way, the more Xiao Yuanshi felt that Ge Chunru was becoming more and more insensible and willful.
In the end, Xiao Yuanshi had no choice but to choose more than 20 craftsmen according to Xiao Hanzheng’s request.
He asked his personal attendants to send the craftsmen to Heyang County and exchange them for Ge Chunru.
He had repeatedly emphasized that there must be no more problems this time.
King Jin had received the news of what Xiao Yuanshi had done and what had happened in Heyang County.
Seeing that Shi Qingluo and her husband were actually asking Xiao Yuanshi for craftsmen, he smiled playfully.
He was even more looking forward to meeting Shi Qingluo.
His secondary consort’s invitation had already been sent to Heyang County, he just didn’t know if Shi Qingluo would come.
His people had also found out that Xiao Hanzheng was going to use the county government’s money to set up a few workshops and credit the county government.
Xi Rong’s rouge shop sold unscented and scented soap, so it wasn’t surprising that she had candles.
However, he was very curious about what the canned food factory was for.
Therefore, he also sent people to continue to keep an eye on them.
A few days later, Xiao Yuanshi’s men sent over the craftsmen, and those with families brought their families along.
All of them were experienced craftsmen who had originally been staying in Northern City
He had not expected that the deputy governor would gather all of them together and be given away.
This made them feel very uncomfortable, but there was nothing they could do. After all, the deputy governor held their indenture.
They wondered if their new master was easy to get along with.
They naturally had grievances with Xiao Hanzheng.
The deputy governor had said that it was his son who had forced them to work here, and he had no choice but to send them here.
Looking at the dilapidated and poor state of Heyang County, they all looked as if they had nothing to live for.
The family members who had followed along suddenly felt that their future was perplexed.
When they arrived at the county office, Xiao Hanzheng personally sent the craftsmen to a row of newly-renovated courtyards.
This was not the county government’s courtyard, more of the county government’s properties.
He went straight to the point and told the craftsmen that they had come here mainly in exchange for the deputy governor’s wife.
He also told them what Ge Chunru had done.
Previously, he had received news that his scumbag father had deliberately misled these people, saying that he intentionally targeted his scumbag father.
His scumbag father had no choice but to agree because of his father-son relationship.
He even apologized to them.
This was to plant a thorn in their hearts, and then let them be his spies in the future.
Therefore, Xiao Hanzheng naturally had to remove this mis-conception and pull out the thorn in their hearts.
