Chapter 383: What do you want to get this time?

Xiao Yuanshi asked his confidant to come in.

The confidant immediately reported what Ge Chunru did from leaving Beicheng to the mine and then to Heyang County.

Xiao Yuanshi’s face darkened after hearing this.

He raised his hand and pinched his brows: “You mean, now the madam and the guards she brought with her are all locked up in the prison in Heyang County?”

The confidant nodded: “Yes.”

“I also tried to talk to the county magistrate to see if the madam could be released first.”

“But when I went to the county government, I found out that the eldest young master was the county magistrate of Heyang County, and I was refused to visit her.”

Xiao Yuanshi was stunned: “What did you say, Xiao Hanzheng is the county magistrate of Heyang County?”

The confidant replied: “Yes, the eldest young master was just transferred to Heyang County as the county magistrate last month.”

“So it’s difficult to get him to release the madam.”

He said carefully: “And the madam not only beat Xiao Dalang before but also had people beat the Old Madam and the Old Master.”

“Now the people of the Xiao Family are also keeping an eye on the madam.”

This was also beyond Xiao Yuanshi’s expectations: “She let people beat my parents?”

When the confidant heard the news, he felt that the madam was too much.

“Yes, the county yamen runners saw it with their own eyes. The Madam asked the maid to push the old lady down and slapped her several times.”

“The other women were all slapped.”

“The madam also ordered the guards to beat the old man and all the men in the Xiao Family with a stick.”

Whoever has such a daughter-in-law is unlucky.

He couldn’t help but sympathize with his master in his heart.

Xiao Yuanshi’s face was as dark as possible: “How dare she?”

He didn’t expect Ge Chunru to be so bold that she dared to beat his parents.

Although he had some opinions about his parents, they were the ones who gave birth to him and raised him!

How could Ge Chunru abuse his parents like that?

Especially the old man, who had always been good to him and was not partial to him at home like the old lady.

He still had some feelings for the old man, but now that he was so old, he was beaten with a stick by his wife.

This made Xiao Yuanshi feel very uncomfortable.

His confidant asked: “Master, what do you think we should do now?”

Xiao Yuanshi leaned back in his chair and pondered for a moment before he said: “Since the madam is so capable, let her be locked up in the prison to clear her mind.”

If he went to Heyang County in person, even if he successfully brought the person out, his eldest son and the bad daughter-in-law would let everyone know that his deputy governor’s wife beat the court officials and her parents-in-law.

She was locked up in prison for breaking the law, but he used his power for personal gain and brought the person out.

How could he establish his prestige?

He couldn’t leave at all. After handing over the deputy governor’s work, he found many problems.

The previous deputy governor should have discovered some secrets of Prince Jin, so he was killed.

Prince Jin’s people were also constantly contacting him to win him over and even planted a lot of nails.

If he leaves for a few days, it would be very likely that even the people around him would be infiltrated, and he was worried.

Now he has to deal with the powerful people in Beicheng and the people of Prince Jin every day. He was already exhausted, but Ge Chunru was still looking for trouble for him.

Since she can make such a fuss, she should reflect on herself in prison.

Of course, it was shameful to have a wife who has been in prison, but now that she has been locked up, Xiao Yuanshi doesn’t want to care about it.

“If Xiao Hanzheng hasn’t released the madam in 10 days, you can go to Heyang County and find a way to talk to him and see what conditions they want to release her.”

Of course, he can’t just leave her alone, and she still has to be brought back.

But he can’t force his eldest son, so he can only negotiate conditions.

The confidant said respectfully: “Yes!”

Xiao Yuanshi added meaningfully: “I won’t punish you for this matter. Whether you can make up for it depends on whether you can bring your wife back next time.”

He didn’t punish him because he knew that his confidant couldn’t be blamed entirely for this matter.

The confidant breathed a sigh of relief: “Yes!”

He had a lot of complaints about Ge Chunru. This lady was annoying.

A few days later, Xiao Hanzheng received news from Beicheng.

That night, he told Shi Qingluo.

“The scumbag father is not going to care about Little Mother Ge for the time being. He thought that if we don’t let her go after more than 10 days, he will send someone to negotiate with us.”

Shi Qingluo thought about it: “Then let’s postpone the trip of the Xiao Family to Beicheng for a few days.”

She laughed and said: “The scumbag father has come to our door to let us take advantage of him. If we don’t take advantage of him, we will be sorry for his hard work.”

Xiao Hanzheng hugged her and asked with a smile: “What do you want to take advantage of this time?”

The scumbag father doesn’t have much money left, so this won’t give much.

Shi Qingluo said with a smile: “Ask for people.”

“Although the scumbag father has only recently come to the northern border, this is also the territory where he started his business. He must have a lot of useful people in his hands. We have to poach his people.”

“Heyang County is not only short of money but also of talents. We need all kinds of craftsmen, and we also need a few people who are very good at planting.”

She was not afraid that the scumbag father will steal her technology. Even if there were no scumbag father’s people, there will be people from Prince Jin who will steal the technology.

And as long as they win over the people given by the scumbag father, they will become their people.

“All those who have sold their indentures must sell their indentures, and those who have families must bring their families with them.”

“In short, we can’t let the scumbag father have any handles to control these people so that they won’t betray us easily.”

They were short of people here. The craftsmen were half-baked and couldn’t even improve a machine.

Although Xiao Mu and his son came with them, there were only two of them after all, and they couldn’t handle it at all.

Of course, they also have to cultivate some confidence themselves, but they have to find a group of people to do it first.

Xiao Hanzheng thought it made sense: “Okay, I’ll arrange this.”

He will find out who can be used, and then ask the scumbag father directly.

Shi Qingluo smiled and said: “And the conditions we put forward, the scumbag father will agree to it very readily this time.”

He will think he can place someone on their side.

The couple now wants to build up Heyang County, as long as there are able people, they will not refuse anyone.

If there would be people who will betray them, just clean them up.

In this regard, she believed that her husband could do a good job.

Even if they don’t use the scumbag father’s people, they can easily mix in various spies or people who steal from others when they recruit people from outside.

It’s better to use the scumbag father’s people directly, at least they know the ins and outs.

In addition to the scum father, it would be even better if they can dig into the corner of Prince Jin.

She had a lot of things in her mind and was not afraid of being imitated.

Xiao Hanzheng smiled and nodded: “Okay, I’ll take care of the rest.”

This Heyang County was too poor, and those who have had skills have had with their families. It was hard to find a few craftsmen who could build a house, let alone other industries.

So don’t worry about other things first, get the people and develop Heyang County first.

He will find a way to make all the people of the scumbag father completely theirs so that the scumbag father will not even find a place to cry in the future.
