BHBF Chapter 80.5

Boss, He’s Becoming a Father (Arc 4) Chapter 80.5: Playful Son (44)

County Lieutenant Jiang, who was standing by, was now more impressed by the extensive network of contacts behind Shao Yu, and became even more determined to follow in Shao Yu’s footsteps.

Shao Yu was busy all night and did not rush to rest. Instead, he ordered people to deliver the confession as quickly as possible. The first copy was sent to the prefect by the county government officials, and the second copy was sent to his long-time attendant Zhao Zhong, who took his handwritten letter and the confession to the governor’s office.

He deliberately instructed the officer to tell the prefect that the confession had been sent to the Governor’s Office.

As for the last confession, Shao Yu did not deliver it on the spot, but said to everyone: “I will have someone deliver this confession to the secret sentry stationed here by the court.”

When everyone heard the word “secret sentry”, they were all shocked.

Qingning County is far away from the capital, but they did not expect that there were secret sentries from the imperial court here. When they thought of their past performance, they were afraid that they might have done something wrong and be discovered by the imperial court.

As for the fact that Shao Yu knew about the existence of the “secret sentry”, they felt that Shao Yu was more and more unfathomable.

There were indeed secret sentries from the imperial court in Lingnan, but Shao Yu had no idea where they were and how to communicate with them.

The reason why he knew this was because he had seen it in the original body’s memory, in a secret letter that he had accidentally seen.

After finishing the interrogation, he found a few people in the yamen who hated Lord Wu and personally kept an eye on him to prevent him from escaping.

After arranging all this, Shao Yu returned to the hotel where his family was staying.

After a whole night of interrogation, Shao Yu looked exhausted. Seeing him like this, his family members immediately came up to him and asked about his well-being.

Shao Yu told what happened last night.

When the family heard how unpredictable the situation was, they were all terrified.

Xiao Han even covered her chest and said, “Fortunately, the master made the right bet. If that Inspector Li didn’t come out, what would you have done?”

In fact, Shao Yu did not put all his chips on Inspector Li. Even if Inspector Li did not come, he still had a way to persuade Inspector Chen to leave.

But he didn’t say it out loud. Instead, he sighed and said, “Speaking of which, the work is not yet over.”

Xiao Han immediately asked: “What else is there? Could it be that the people above Lord Wu are still looking for trouble?”

Soon, Xiao Han said again: “Even if he finds fault, we are not afraid. The master has been in the officialdom for so many years and knows many more people than him. Even if we invite one of them, he can be crushed to death.”

Shao Yu didn’t expect that even now, Xiao Han still had the past glory in her heart, so he said, “It’s not that I don’t know who to invite now, but whether I can invite him or not. I am not the Dali Temple Minister in the capital now, but just a small Lingnan County Magistrate.”

Xiao Han was stunned after hearing this, and looked at the extremely simple environment around her, but still said: “After all, we have been friends for so many years…”

“Madam, after so many years of friendship, only a few people came to the capital to see you off,” Shao Yu said.

Xiao Han became even more depressed after hearing this, but when she thought that even her own family didn’t come to see her off, she couldn’t blame those people anymore.

Shao Yu said: “Now that we are here, let’s forget all the past vanity.”

Xiao Han was silent for a long time before she nodded with difficulty.

Shao Yu continued, “Actually, what worries me is not that he will change his statement in front of his superiors.”

Shao Jiashan asked, “What is Dad worried about?”

“I am worried that I have no one under me.”

Now that Shao Yu has come to Lingnan, the number of people around him has decreased a lot. He only brought three servants with him. One is a coachman who can only drive the carriage, and the other two are Shao Yu’s personal attendants.

Both of them are good at martial arts, but Zhao Zhong was sent to the Governor’s Office at this time, and Wang Xi had to stay behind to protect his family, so he was left without any men for a while.

“Where are the people from the county government?” Shao Jiashu asked.

“Although Qingning County is a small temple, there are many Bodhisattvas in the temple, and the county government is even more mixed. I am new here and I don’t know who belongs to whom, so I dare not use them carelessly.”

After hearing this, Shao Jiashu couldn’t help but look at Shao Jiashan.

Shao Jiashan couldn’t help shrinking his neck and asked, “Why are you looking at me?”

Shao Jiashu said: “Brother, Daddy has no one to use right now, who can be more trustworthy than his own son?”

Before Shao Jiashan could say anything, Shao Jialiang volunteered, “Dad, please use me. I’m not young anymore and can help you share the burden.”

Although Shao Jiashan was a tad slower, he still followed up and said, “If Dad needs it, I can help.”

But compared to Shao Jialiang, Shao Jiashan seemed to be more hesitant when speaking.

Shao Jiashan has always loved to enjoy himself. He was afraid of hardship and also afraid that his incompetence would ruin things, so he was so hesitant.

Shao Yu shook his head and said, “Liang’er needs to study, as for Shan’er…”

Shao Jiashan immediately said, “I don’t study.”

Shao Yu did not agree yet, but said: “Although Shan’er does not study, practice martial arts, or do business, he still needs to think about what to do next. Moreover, he has just arrived in Qingning County and has not gone out to stroll around and taste the unique flavor of Qingning. How can I use him like this?”

Hearing Shao Yu say this, Shao Jiashan felt a little embarrassed. When he thought about how Shao Yu had worked so hard and even nearly lost his life, while he was still hesitating here, he immediately became determined.

“Dad, leave anything to me, I will do my best to complete it!” said Shao Jiashan.

Seeing that he was so persistent, Shao Yu could only “reluctantly” agree, but still said: “Jiashan, although Dad’s work is important, if you don’t want to do it, tell Dad immediately, and Dad will find a way to arrange someone else.”

“Dad, is there anyone else you can arrange for?” Shao Jiashan asked.

Shao Yu said: “When the time comes, we will ask whoever we like to help us. We just hope they are not traitors.”

After hearing this, Shao Jiashan became more determined that his father needed him, so he said, “Don’t worry, Dad. I’m here. You can slowly choose someone you trust!”

Shao Jialiang also said: “Dad, there is me, my brother and I will help you together!”

Although Lord Wu was detained by a special person, he was still afraid of accidents. After some thought, Shao Yu asked the person detained to be in the open, and sent his two sons in secret. The two brothers were asked to observe outside the county government office and report any disturbance in time.

With his two sons watching over him, Shao Yu finally had a good sleep.

But just as he woke up, Shao Jialiang ran over in a hurry: “Dad, someone escaped from the government office!”
