385-386

Chapter 385: Couldn't they think of it?

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.

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.
