BHBF Chapter 82.4

Boss, He’s Becoming a Father (Arc 4) Chapter 82.4: Playful Son (51)

Even though these officers were very angry, they had no choice but to give up their important positions.

The four killers quickly got the closest position and became guards in the yard where Lord Wu was imprisoned.

Two of them were keeping watch outside, while the other two rushed in directly, trying to fake the appearance of Lord Wu committing suicide out of fear of punishment as quickly as possible.

Lord Wu was alone in the room, wearing a middle-length robe, with his hair loose, and was tied up in the room.

After the two killers came in, they first looked around. Although there were many cabinets in the room, they were all locked, and there was no sign of anyone hiding in the exposed areas.

The “Lord Wu” with disheveled hair didn’t say anything, he just sat there stupidly. His face couldn’t be seen clearly because of his disheveled hair.

The two killers approached quickly, and one of them reached out to grab “Lord Wu”.

But “Lord Wu” dodged it.

The killer was stunned.

Then, they heard the sound of wind. They looked up and saw two people flying down from above, hitting the two killers directly.

Upon seeing this, the two killers immediately felt something was wrong and turned around to escape, but the two men on the beam were obviously very skilled in martial arts and quickly subdued the two killers.

Outside the house, torches were lit, and the two killers who were on the lookout were also caught.

At this time, the “Lord Wu” finally pushed the hair away from his eyes, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, “I have been waiting for you for many days, and you are finally here.”

The person pretending to be Wu Qi was none other than County Lieutenant Jiang who was tricked by Shao Yu.

Shao Yu and Fang Ye also rushed over at this time. Without any preparation, the two of them interrogated the four killers together, including the other people sent by Xing Zhizhou.

At this time, Xing Zhizhou was so anxious that he was running around in the inn. He didn’t wait for the killers to return, but instead waited for Fang Ye to send someone to invite him.

“Master Xing, my master invites you to play chess.”

After hearing this, Xing Zhizhou hesitated. He was afraid of missing the rare opportunity to get close to Fang Ye, and he was also afraid of missing the news from the other side.

After thinking it over again and again, Xing Zhizhou asked his advisor to stay and take charge, and he followed the visitor to Fang Ye’s yard.

As soon as he entered the yard, he did not see Fang Ye. He just drank a cup of tea and fell asleep.

The lawyer received the news from the old house and the situation was very urgent. He ran to Fang Ye’s yard to pick up his master, but was stopped by Fang Ye’s followers. The lawyer was directly carried up by them and sent to the Wu family’s old house.

In the absence of solid evidence, neither Shao Yu nor Fang Ye could interrogate Xing Zhizhou, so they came up with this plan to lure someone into a trap and capture everyone around Xing Zhizhou.

Now that everyone around him had spoken, Xing Zhizhou had no room to argue.

Xing Zhizhou only knew that he slept in Fang Ye’s yard for a night for some unknown reason, but he didn’t know that when he woke up, everything outside had changed.

Xing Zhizhou was Shao Yu’s superior, and Shao Yu was not qualified to interrogate him, so he set up the stage and waited for Fang Ye to send Xing Zhizhou to the Censorate for trial.

Before Xing Zhizhou knew what was happening, he had already received the same treatment as Wu Qi. The two brothers were tied up and taken away from Qingning County together.

Fang Ye and his group set off again the next day. After Shao Yu watched them leave, he turned around and looked at the dilapidated city wall gate of Qingning County.

“The rats have been cleared out, and it’s time to do some practical work.” Shao Yu said with emotion.

Now, after this incident, the county government has been reshuffled. In these two struggles, Shao Yu has completely established his position in the county government.

Now no one dared to treat him perfunctorily. Without Lord Wu stirring up trouble, the people in the county government could finally work hard.

Shao Yu is not Lord Wu. He does not have such strong selfish desires. He just wants to do something practical.

Although Lord Wu and Xing Zhizhou were sent to the Censorate, the interrogation took a full month.

Lord Wu was like a small stone thrown into the lake, but Xing Zhizhou caused huge waves.

There are too many people implicated behind Xing Zhizhou. Even the governor has to weigh the pros and cons of which ones to protect and which ones to punish.

But Lord Wu and Xing Zhizhou, as the instigators of all things, were destined not to get a good result.

Although the interrogation had not yet been completely concluded, the higher-ups were aware of Qingning County’s current difficulties and quickly allocated a sum of money for emergency use.

After taking the money, Shao Yu did not rush to repair the government office. Instead, he asked people to carefully survey all the waterways in Qingning County.

The first thing Shao Yu did when he took office was to rectify water conservancy.

The people in Qingning County government office were very lax in their daily lives when Lord Wu was in charge. But after Shao Yu took charge, after some rectification, and with Shao Yu always setting an example, not only did he rush to the front line, but even his two sons rushed to the front line, the people in the government office did not dare to be lax anymore, so compared with before, it was refreshing.

Originally, Xiao Han was somewhat reluctant about Shao Jialiang following Shao Yu everywhere, but Shao Yu persuaded her, “I have never doubted that Liang’er will pass the imperial examination in the future, but I have always doubted whether he can be a good official.”

“If he only knows how to study hard all day long, but has no knowledge of general affairs, even if he becomes an official in the future, it will be empty. Only if he is familiar with these things can he become a good official in the future.”

Xiao Han wanted her child to study and make a name for himself, not because she wanted her son to be greedy for money. She herself had done many wrong things, but she hoped that her son could become a good official and be remembered forever.

Since Shao Yu was so confident about his son’s studies, Xiao Han naturally didn’t bother him.

It’s just that Qingning County doesn’t need to be like the capital. There are always endless flowers to appreciate and endless things to do in the capital. Qingning County has few people, and the Shao family is now a small population, so Xiao Han seems to have nothing to do.

“I heard that Madam was proficient in women’s work when she was in the boudoir.” Shao Yu hinted.

When the Han family was at its peak, they hired a master of Suzhou embroidery to teach their daughter how to do embroidery. Although she learned it many years ago, Xiao Han has never lost this skill over the years.

But when she thought about teaching her skills to others, Xiao Han became hesitant.

Shao Yu advised: “If the first person who learned embroidery was too proud of his own skills and refused to teach anyone, there wouldn’t be all kinds of techniques and schools today.”

After hearing this, Xiao Han finally made up her mind and said, “In that case, I will teach.”

Since Xiao Han was going to open a class, the families of several officials in the county naturally wanted to show their support and sent their daughters over as soon as possible.

They thought the magistrate’s wife was just joking, but they didn’t expect that their daughters actually learned a skill.

Word of this spread quickly, and Xiao Han’s embroidery class became famous in the county. Countless girls wanted to join Xiao Han’s embroidery class.

When the daughter of the first merchant tentatively applied, Xiao Han wanted to refuse, but after Shao Yu’s persuasion, Xiao Han put aside her prejudice.

Soon, more and more daughters from non-official families came to study.

As long as she meets someone who really wants to learn, Xiao Han will not hesitate to teach. But if she meets someone who is trying to get close to her, Xiao Han will first warn them. If it happens a second time, she will directly kick them out of the class.

Xiao Han is already the woman at the top of the food chain in this county. Behind her is Shao Yu, so she doesn’t have to worry about anyone’s face when doing these things.

Xiao Han still maintained the habit of reading and copying the laws of the dynasty every day. These habits of hers gradually influenced the students in the embroidery class.

For a time, all the girls in Qingning County, in addition to learning the embroidery techniques taught by the county magistrate’s wife, were also studying the laws carefully at home, which became a strange thing in Qingning County.
