Three days later, Xiao Yuanshi’s confidant appeared in Heyang County.
Xiao Hanzheng received the news immediately.
The confidant didn’t delay and went directly to the county government office.
This time Xiao Hanzheng met him.
The two talked for more than half an hour. The confidant left the county government office and immediately wrote a letter and asked someone to send it to Beicheng as soon as possible.
After Xiao Yuanshi received the letter and opened it, he felt relieved but also felt something was wrong.
He was relieved because Xiao Hanzheng and his wife didn’t ask for too much this time.
He didn’t have much if he was asked to give silver again.
He did have some craftsmen in his hands, which he had collected in the northern border and did not take to the capital last time.
After returning to Beicheng this time, he never used these people.
Now he used them in exchange for Ge Chunru, he didn’t feel too bad.
He could plant a few nails to see if he could get some useful information or get the technology of Shi Qingluo’s workshop in the future.
It was just what he could think of. With the smart and shrewd character of his eldest son and his wife, would they not think of it?
So he couldn’t help but hesitate.
Tao Liu was next to him at this time, and her eyes also glanced at what was said in the letter.
She laughed in her heart, and Ge Chunru was getting more and more impatient.
She did so many stupid things, and Xiao Yuanshi had to exchange people.
So she pretended to be concerned and asked: “Is the governor worried?”
Xiao Yuanshi didn’t hide it and said what he thought in his heart.
Tao Liu thought for a while and said: “Either Xiao Hanzheng and his wife don’t care at all, there will be spies among the people you send, or they want to turn your people into theirs.”
She said this not to provoke, but she couldn’t stand Xiao Hanzheng and his wife’s side on the surface. Some truths had to be said so as not to arouse Xiao Yuanshi’s suspicion.
“If you don’t want to give your men, why don’t you discuss with them to change it to something else?”
She sighed again with a worried look: “But if it’s delayed again, I don’t know how much suffering the Madam will suffer in the prison.”
Seeing Xiao Yuanshi’s face darken.
Tao Liu reached out and held his hand as if to comfort him: “General, the Madam didn’t mean it. She might want to vent her brother’s anger, so she beat Xiao Dalang, the old man, and the old lady on impulse.”
“She doesn’t want to ruin the reputation of our deputy governor’s office. In addition, she was imprisoned. I don’t know how uncomfortable she is now, so don’t blame her.”
It sounds like she was speaking for Ge Chunru, but it’s all eye drops.
Xiao Yuanshi, a straight man, naturally can’t hear it.
The more he listened, the angrier he got: “Hasn’t she done this on purpose several times? She did it in the capital before, and now she’s doing it again in the Northern Frontier.”
“The General’s Mansion had lost its reputation in the capital before. After coming to Northern Frontier, many things in the capital were unknown to everyone, and she did this to me again.”
“She deserves to suffer. She did it herself.”
If Liu Ru hadn’t mentioned it, he wouldn’t have been that angry.
But now he was furious. He was really afraid that this matter would be known and spread in the Northern Frontier again. Would he still have the face to save?
What bothered him the most was that Xiao Hanzheng and his wife came to Northern Frontier.
He was really afraid of the two of them. He thought Xiao Hanzheng would stay in the Imperial Academy, and even if he was transferred, he should go to a wealthy place.
But why was he so careless that he came to Northern Frontier?
Was he deliberately going to go against him?
Tao Liu hurriedly reached out to calm Xiao Yuanshi: “Don’t be angry, Governor, we can redeem the lady quietly.”
She pretended to sigh again: “I just don’t know how Xiao Hanzheng and his wife will use these craftsmen. If they are of great use, the governor will suffer a great loss.”
Then she changed the subject: “But losing some craftsmen is worth it as long as it can get the Madam back safely.”
Xiao Yuanshi wanted to swear: It’s worth my butt.
If Ge Chunru had gone to bring Ge Chunyi back peacefully and hadn’t gone to Heyang County to get mad and settle accounts with Xiao Dalang, would there have been so many problems?
But the longer the time drags on, the easier it is to go wrong.
Ge Chunru was always causing trouble for him.
He took a deep breath: “Forget it, this time I will replace people according to Xiao Hanzheng’s request.”
There will be no next time. When Ge Chunru comes back, he will put her under house arrest.
Just entertain those ladies in Beicheng, and don’t go out of Beicheng again, otherwise, he doesn’t know what troubles will arise.
Tao Liu naturally took the opportunity to comfort Xiao Yuanshi and said a lot of good things about Ge Chunru.
But the more this happened, the more Xiao Yuanshi felt that Ge Chunru was more and more willful.
In the end, Xiao Yuanshi had no choice but to select more than 20 craftsmen according to Xiao Hanzheng’s request and let his attendants send them to Heyang County and exchange Ge Chunru back.
He repeatedly emphasized that there must be no more problems this time.
Prince Jin received all the news about what Xiao Yuanshi did and what happened in Heyang County.
Seeing that Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo asked Xiao Yuanshi for craftsmen, he smiled playfully.
He was looking forward to meeting Shi Qingluo even more.
His concubine’s post had been sent to Heyang County, but he didn’t know if Shi Qingluo would come.
His people had already found out that Xiao Hanzheng wanted to run several workshops in the name of the county government and with the money of the county government.
Soap and perfumed soap were sold in Xi Rong’s rouge shop, and candles were not surprising.
But what was the canning workshop doing? This made him very curious.
So he sent people to continue to keep an eye on it and find out.
A few days later, Xiao Yuanshi’s people sent craftsmen, and those with families were also brought along.
These were all mature craftsmen who had originally stayed in the North City, but they did not expect that they would be gathered together by the deputy governor to be sent to others.
This made them feel very uncomfortable, but they could do nothing about it, after all, the contract of sale was in the hands of the deputy governor.
They didn’t know whether the new master was easy to get along with.
They naturally had resentment towards Xiao Hanzheng, but the deputy governor said that it was his son who insisted that they come here to work, and he had no choice but to send them there.
Looking at the shabby and poor appearance of Heyang County, they all looked like they had no desire to live.
The families who came with them were suddenly confused about the future.
After arriving at the county government office, Xiao Hanzheng personally smiled and sent these craftsmen to a row of renovated courtyards.
This was not the courtyard of the county government office, but it was also an industry of the county government office.
He told these craftsmen directly that the reason they came here was mainly to exchange the wife of the deputy governor.
He told these people everything that Ge Chunru had done.
He had received news before that the scum father deliberately misled these people, saying that he had been eyeing the scumbag father’s people.
The scumbag father had no choice but to agree because of the father-son relationship, and also expressed his apologies to these people.
It was to plant a thorn in these people’s hearts, and then let these people be the insiders in the future.
So Xiao Hanzheng naturally had to remove this misunderstanding and pull out the thorn in these people’s hearts.
