At the County Office of Long’an County, Bai Su held a bill in his hand, "Sir, the bill from the dical center has arrived. Several people were seriously injured, and the dicine cost is quite high. I’ve already checked the public billing records in the County Office, and it’s not enough to cover the expenses. What do you think, should we resort to private funds?"
As for how to use private funds, it naturally ans taking so losses and paying out of one’s own pocket.
The young master of their family might not be very old, but he cos from a wealthy background. From the mont he was born, the Princess Consort had already set up properties for her sons and had them managed by specialists. The young master certainly isn’t short of money.
However, Sikong Wuyou looked up and stared at him as if he were a fool, "Whoever caused the problem should be the one to pay for it, or you can cover it yourself!"
As Sikong Wuyou’s right-hand man, Bai Su was definitely not a poor man.
Yet, Bai Su still looked distressed.
"Sir, you can’t be so harsh on your subordinate. I’ve already visited Zhou Ying about this, but Zhou Ying is dead, and her forces have dispersed. There’s simply no one to find now."
In Sikong Wuyou’s indifferent tone, it sounded like the voice of a demon to Bai Su.
"In that case, you’ll have to pay it upfront. When soone goes to the Pri Minister Residence in the Capital City to report the account, make sure to let the Pri Minister know about the great deeds of the Pri Minister Residence’s forces here. When the money is recovered, you’ll be reimbursed."
"Ah..."
Bai Su howled, "Sir, you can’t be so heartless. That’s my savings for getting married..."
...
After returning, Bai Su naturally wasn’t going to go through the trouble and expenses of sending soone on a special trip just for that amount of silver.
Over the years, the young master of their family had made a few friends in the Capital City, the one who took the most care of him being the Crown Prince.
As for him, he was quite familiar with those around the Crown Prince, so when it ca to collecting the debt from the Pri Minister Residence, Bai Su thought, asking an ordinary person to collect it would an risking offending them, so it was better to trouble the Crown Prince.
A journey that originally would have taken half a month on fast horses reached them in just four or five days using ssenger pigeons, and the Capital City had already received the letter.
At that mont, it was the Crown Prince’s trusted aide who received this letter, and upon reading it, he rushed solemnly to the Crown Prince’s study.
Crown Prince Qin Xiao had grown from a child to a mature man nearing forty, with a beard that signified adulthood.
After reading the letter, even the Crown Prince had to treat the matter seriously.
Sikong Wuyou’s background involved a royal secret.
The Crown Prince didn’t know the exact details of what happened back then, but he did know that Sikong Wuyou’s mother was his own full-blooded sister.
Therefore, the Crown Prince had always regarded Sikong Wuyou as his nephew, not to ntion that Sikong Wuyou was only two years older than the Crown Prince’s eldest son. In the Crown Prince’s eyes, he seed even more like his own son.
Having received the letter, the Crown Prince naturally wouldn’t keep it from the Emperor.
So, An Bingfeng was imdiately summoned to the palace.
An Bingfeng was soone who had been through many significant events. Upon seeing the incident reported from Long’an County, he showed no panic, and it instead aligned perfectly with his intentions. He said earnestly, "Actually, a few days ago, I had already noticed so clues about this matter. Zhou Ying was the sister of a guard in the Minister Office. Her purpose for going to Cuishi Town in Long’an County was simply to secretly take care of my daughter who was left there. I didn’t expect Zhou Ying to be so bold, daring to act under the Pri Minister Residence’s na to establish influence in Cuishi Town, and now she’s even stirred up wolf packs to harm the villagers!"
