Chapter 232 - The Evil Servant (1/2)

Chapter 232 The Evil Servant

The thought of Zhang Yunyan reminded Yan Xiaopeng the terrifying scene where he was about to be killed under the sword, and he felt scared. He could not imagine that the terrible danger would happen again. It was so horrible.

He told the butler to be careful. The enemy was hiding somewhere, waiting for the right moment to make trouble, and he must strengthen the guard and leave no chance for the girl to attack him, otherwise, he would be dead.

Yan Xiaopeng had already known that Zhang Yunyan was fierce. He hoped to destroy his enemy as soon as possible so that he could set his heart at rest.

At this day, he asked his butler to go to the county, and the purpose was to ask the governor to send more people and intensify the search. He wanted to arrest Zhang Yunyan and get rid of her as soon as possible.

Since Zhang Yunyan was saved and taken away by Bai Yunfei in the Yan Mansion, Yan Xiaopeng had been restless and worried.

Zhang Yunyan was a huge stone in his heart, and with this, he had been hard to breathe. The stone must be removed as soon as possible. Otherwise, he would never have a peaceful life, and big trouble would ensue which would even cause his death.

The butler was delayed because of the heavy rain and he returned to the Yan Mansion after dark. Before he had time to eat, he ran to report to his master.

Yan Xiaopeng was restless as he was waiting for the result, and he asked his butler the arrangements of the governor and other news.

The butler immediately told him, “The governor promised to send more people to search her tomorrow. You may rest assured.”

Inside the building came a sigh, “This is good, this is good. Alas, if the girl is alive, I can’t stop worrying.”

The butler snorted and said, “Sir, the governor had got so much wealth from the Yan Mansion, he has to work hard.”

Hearing that, Yan Xiaopeng sighed, “Yes. Man dies in pursuit of wealth, and birds die in pursuit of food. It’s true that if you have money, you can make the devil push the millstone for you.

Zhang Yunyan was angry. She didn’t expect that the official worked so hard for the enemy. No wonder Living Yama was unscrupulous. As the imperial government official, the governor did not enforce law for the people, and he even shielded and indulged the bad man. He also deserved death!

At this time, the butler said, “Sir, the governor said that he would send money to the magistrate, so that the magistrate could order the governors of other counties to arrest Zhang Yunyan. Well, he also said that he was short of money, and I don’t know what to do with it.”

As the butler finished his words, the voice came from the building, “Well, he just wants money in the name of the magistrate. He is really insatiable!”

The butler understood, and smiled sadly. He didn’t expect that the governor would still ask for money even though he had got so much. He was so greedy. Alas, having power was great for one could do whatever he wanted and no one could compare to him.

Yan Xiaopeng was very discontented, and then he sighed and said, “OK. Send him 100 taels of sliver in two days.”

“Oh, Sir, I just gave him two hundred taels of sliver today, do we still give him money? There would be no end. Let’s put it off.”

“Oh, it’s not over. That guy relies on silver. Never mind. Since we must give him money, it’s better to give him earlier. Otherwise he may get angry, and slow the search. It would be more upsetting. There is no other way.”

Yan Xiaopeng was distressed and helpless when he heard that. “Friendship” bought with money could only last for a while, and was unreliable.

Seeing that the renowned master was fooled by the governor, he sighed.

He sighed and said, “Power is better than money. If you open your mouth, a lot of money will come.”

From the room came a wry smile. There was no reply except a sigh.

The butler frowned, then sighed, and said, “Sir, the governor sent the two hundred tael to the magistrate, and is it too little to send him 100 tael? And will he get mad? If this affects our matter, the money would be wasted.”

Yan Xiaopeng was discontented, and he scolded, “Don’t listen to that bastard. He won’t hand in his money to the magistrate. If he did, he could only send a small part of it, and a hundred tael is enough. Besides, he pleases his superior for his own sake, and we have nothing to do with him. Why bother?”

After that, the people in the house sighed.

The butler shook his head and sighed. The governor wanted to bribe his superior, and the money he sent all came from the people. Even the Yan Mansion must give him.

He was angry. The governor wanted to please his boss, why must the Yan Mansion pay the money?

But the butler was fine with it. Even his master couldn’t handle this, not to mention him. He would just do what his master told him to do. The money belonged to the Yan Mansion, and had nothing to do with him. He would not feel reluctant, but he was a little jealous.

Yan Xiaopeng knew the feeling well. Those corrupt officials were insatiable like bottomless box. Money was his heart and soul, so how could he be willing to give them away. Hut for the sake of life, he had to do so.

Yan Xiaopeng was helpless, and he could only give his money reluctantly. At this time, he needed the help of the governor. Getting rid of the enemy’s descendant was the priority, which was related to his life. This must be done as soon as possible.
