I'M THE FARMGIRL YOU CAN'T MESS WITH

Chapter 99: Imperial Edict

Editor: Atlas Studios

After five days, the refugees either mortgaged their land or signed themselves off as slaves to the squires to obtain the capital to survive.

After obtaining the grains, everyone began to pack up and go home. Their houses had been burned down, and it was winter now. No matter what, they had to work hard to build a straw hut for their families to shelter them from the wind and snow.

Minister He and the others smiled until their faces were full of wrinkles. They smiled at Wu Shancai and said, “Thankfully, Magistrate Wu has helped maintain order these few days.”

Wu Shancai said absent-mindedly, “No, this is my duty.”

Seeing his solemn expression, Minister Liu asked, “Sir, is there something troubling you?”

Wu Shancai sighed. “The Lin’an Prefecture has settled the matter of the Jin soldiers attacking the city. The messenger from Xingyuan Prefecture will come to announce the decree today.”

“So fast?” Minister Liu was very surprised. When did the Imperial Court become so efficient?

“That’s right.” Surprised as well, Wu Shancai sighed and said, “I wonder how many people will be affected this time.”

Actually, what he wanted to say was that he didn’t know if he would be replaced. Would he be fired or demoted? But no matter how hard he tried to find out, he failed.

The unknown was always scary. Thinking that the outcome would be revealed in a while, he felt even more uneasy. Even though Minister He and the others had just sent him a lot of silver, he was still unhappy. Very unhappy.

Minister He and the others looked at each other, their good mood affected as well. They had worked well with Wu Shancai, and they had invested a lot of money in him over the years. If he were to be replaced by someone else, they would definitely have to spend a lot of money to bribe him. They also needed a period of time to get used to each other.

However, no one expected that the 2,000 elite soldiers of Xingyuan Prefecture would come with the messenger and surround the prefectural capital.
