BHBF Chapter 82.3

Boss, He’s Becoming a Father (Arc 4) Chapter 82.3: Playful Son (50)

Shao Yu heard this, coughed lightly, and said: “His brothers and sisters have their own lives to live, how can they rely on their brother for everything.”

Fang Ye frowned and asked, “My Lord, are you sick?”

Shao Yu shook his head.

Shao Yu’s complexion was actually normal at this time, but because of this cough, coupled with what he had said to Shao Jiashan before, Shao Jiashan actually felt that his father’s health had become worse.

However, after seeing the doctor several times, the doctor could not find out what was wrong with Shao Yu. Shao Jiashan felt more and more that he was suffering from some terminal illness.

Shao Jiashan had never known what he wanted to do. At this moment, he finally made up his mind and said, “Dad, I’ve made up my mind. I want to be a doctor.”

Fang Ye frowned slightly when he heard this and looked at Shao Yu, as if waiting for Shao Yu to voice his objection.

In Fang Ye’s opinion, Shao Jiashan is the eldest son of the Shao family and the son of his benefactor. He should be the one to support the family in the future and must enter the official career to maintain the reputation of the Shao family.

But Shao Yu did not object, instead he said: “This kind of thing cannot be taken lightly, there is no turning back once the work is started, have you really thought it through?”

During this period of time, Shao Jiashan has actually been thinking a lot. Although he is indeed afraid of hardship and fatigue, he always feels that even if he forces himself to learn, whether it is studying or practicing martial arts, he will most likely end up in failure.

Only in these two days, when he and Ah Hei studied medicine with Shao Yu, Shao Jiashan felt the long-lost joy.

“I’ve thought it through.” Shao Jiashan said solemnly.

Shao Yu asked again: “You won’t regret it?”

“I will never regret it,” said Shao Jiashan.

Fang Ye wanted to say something, but Shao Yu said, “If you can’t be a good prime minister, then being a good doctor is also a good way out.”

Xing Zhizhou, who was standing by, looked at Shao Yu letting his eldest son study medicine, and a trace of disdain flashed across his mind. In his mind, apart from studying, all other paths were minor ones.

Seeing that Shao Yu said this, Fang Ye did not pour cold water on him. Instead, he thought about giving all the medical books in his home to Shao Jiashan.

When officials were sent down from above, the people below naturally had to welcome them, but the Qingning County government had no money at the moment, and Shao Yu did not ask them to go to great lengths, so they mostly prepared some home-cooked meals.

Fang Ye naturally would not make a fuss about the level of the welcoming banquet. Instead, he kept praising Shao Yu for his frugality. As for Xing Zhizhou, although he despised him very much in his heart, he did not dare to show it.

“Sir Shao, where is Lord Wu being held now?” asked Xing Zhizhou.

Shao Yu glanced at him. He naturally knew that Xing Zhizhou was Lord Wu’s backer, but at this point, Shao Yu also knew that Xing Zhizhou would naturally not protect Lord Wu anymore, and would most likely kill him to silence him.

“Lord Wu escaped.” Shao Yu said.

Upon hearing this, Xing Zhizhou was delighted, thinking to himself that it was Lord Wu who had escaped. No wonder the person he sent did not reply at all.

Xing Zhizhou immediately put on a reproachful look and said, “Sir Shao, Lord Wu has done so many wrong things, how could you let him get away? Did you pursue him? If you can’t catch him back, then you and I will not have a good time when we appear before the governor.”

Shao Yu nodded and said, “I was afraid that I would not be able to explain to the Governor, so I captured him again.”

Hearing this, Xing Zhizhou was stunned, laughed dryly, and said, “Sir Shao, please speak in full and don’t breathe so loudly to scare me.”

“Your Excellency is not guilty, so why are you afraid of being frightened?” Shao Yu said with a smile.

Xing Zhizhou’s heart skipped a beat, and for a moment he couldn’t tell whether Shao Yu was joking or really testing him.

“Sir Shao, the most important thing now is Lord Wu’s safety. He is the key to our trip, and we cannot have any mistakes.” Xing Zhizhou said with pretended concern.

“Don’t worry, Sir Xing. Lord Wu is absolutely safe now and there won’t be any accidents.” Shao Yu said with certainty.

Xing Zhizhou saw that Shao Yu had been talking for a long time and was unwilling to reveal the specific hiding place of Lord Wu. He was a little anxious for a moment, and couldn’t help but said: “The most important thing now is to strengthen the guards. Lord Shao, we brought a lot of people this time. I will send them to watch Lord Wu. How about it?”

Shao Yu frowned when he heard this and said, “Everyone around Sir Xing has been sent out. Who will protect you and Lord Fang?”

Fang Ye also said unhappily: “Master Shao has always been very careful in his plans. Don’t you believe him?”

Xing Zhizhou did not expect that his proposal would be refuted by two people at the same time. He was a little embarrassed for a moment, and explained with a dry laugh: “It is better to be safe than sorry. I am also worried that something might go wrong on this trip and anger the governor.”

Shao Yu glanced at Fang Ye soothingly and said, “Master Fang, Master Xing also has good intentions. Since he is so sincere in wanting to help, please ask him to send a few people to guard the place.”

After some discussion, Xing Zhizhou assigned ten people to protect Lord Wu together.

Seeing that Wu Qi’s whereabouts were finally known, Xing Zhizhou felt relieved.

As for the place where Shao Yu said Wu Qi was imprisoned, it was not somewhere else but the old house of Lord Wu’s family.

Fang Ye said casually, “Since Lord Wu is still fine, I will interrogate him tomorrow. He dared to do such a thing. It is very likely that someone was behind it. If we interrogate him in advance, it will be easier for us to report to the Governor.”

Shao Yu naturally nodded in agreement, but Xing Zhizhou was worried.

After returning to the inn where he was staying, Xing Zhizhou couldn’t help but sigh to his lawyer: “This Shao Yu, the place he chose to be imprisoned is quite interesting.”

The lawyer said, “Are you ready to take action tonight?”

Xing Zhizhou thought about what Fang Ye said before they left, that Lord Wu would be interrogated the next day. He was afraid that this preliminary trial would involve something else. In order to avoid any further complications, Xing Zhizhou decided to take a risk.

“Sir, could this be a trap set by Shao Yu and Fang Ye? After all, these two have known each other for a long time.” The lawyer asked with some concern.

Xing Zhizhou shook his head and said, “It’s unlikely. First of all, Shao Yu has just arrived in Qingning County and is unfamiliar with the place. How can he find a suitable place to detain him right now?”

“Lord Wu’s old house is concealed enough from the public. This is the best place for detention that Shao Yu can think of at the moment.”

“Secondly, although these two people are old acquaintances, when Shao Yu saw Fang Ye today, the surprise on his face was real. Obviously, he didn’t know in advance that the person who came today was Fang Ye.”

Just at this time, the people that Xing Zhizhou had sent out to kill and silence witnesses also arrived. Although they failed to complete the mission during this period, they did not gain nothing.

“You said that Shao Yu went to Lord Wu’s old house every day these days?” Xing Zhizhou asked.

The killers nodded. At first they thought Shao Yu went to the old house to see if there were any missed treasures, but later they saw people from the government secretly delivering food to the old house.

They risked their lives to enter the old house to investigate and found that someone seemed to be imprisoned inside, but because of the tight guards, they couldn’t get close at all.

Xing Zhizhou, who was originally only 50% sure, immediately became 100% sure. He immediately decided to mix these four killers into the ten-man guard team and start the action tonight.

After the four killers successfully changed into the clothes of the prefectural officials, they followed the prefectural confidants to Shao Yu’s old house.

It seemed that Xing Zhizhou’s men wanted to grab the credit, so as soon as they arrived at the old house, they demanded that they be the ones to protect Lord Wu nearby.

When the officers of Qingning County Yamen heard this, they were indignant at first, but they were reluctant to give in because Xing Zhizhou was of a higher rank than Shao Yu.
