Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home
Chapter 1740

Chapter 1740: Reject Chapter 1740: Reject Editor: Henyee Translations Deputy Prefect Guan completely agreed with the words of the scribes who surrounded him and fawned over him.

He deeply agreed with them and felt even more pleased with himself.

His courage became greater and greater, and he became more and more unrestrained.

He didn’t dare to think about it at first, but now he couldn’t wait.

For example, official accounts.

Deputy Prefect Guan knew better than anyone whether there was money in the original government accounts.

No matter how poor the government office was, he did not care.

Anyway, it had nothing to do with him.

Even if he was poor, he would not be poor.

Every year, he would gain a lot of benefits from the various large families.

He had been hoping to see Shao Yunduan make a fool of himself when he was asked to do this.

But he did not expect that Shao Yunduan was so rich that no Lord of the Prefect could do anything about the thousandth of a tael (use it judiciously).

However, he had easily resolved the matter.

Deputy Prefect Guan felt extremely depressed, as if he wanted to see a joke fall through and become a clown.

Despite hailing from a wealthy family, Deputy Prefect Guan, if unconvinced, found himself compelled to suppress his feelings.

What took him by surprise was the revelation that the Prefect Lord wasn’t just affluent but possessed an assertive temper.

Despite this, the three great clans and even the normally outspoken Tiger Head Tribe had acquiesced to his authority.

Though Deputy Prefect Guan recognized the temporary nature of this compliance, the unprecedented scenario left him uneasy.

The present state of the official accounts marked a departure from the norm.

The Prefect Lord injected considerable funds, meticulously documenting each transaction.

While the funds were beyond the current Deputy Prefect’s reach, the curiosity to inspect the records lingered.

However, Deputy Prefect Guan faced an unexpected obstacle when Scribe Fang, responsible for overseeing the accounts, rejected his request to review them.

Seemingly polite on the surface, Deputy Prefect Guan had ostensibly invited Scribe Fang to seek Lord Shao’s approval for document access.

While he claimed he could only read it upon seeing it, it was a deliberate move on his part.

Fuming with anger, Deputy Prefect Guan was convinced that Scribe Fang, known to be on good terms with Jia Heming, was intentionally siding with him.

Determined to inspect the account book, Deputy Prefect Guan sternly issued the order.

However, Scribe Fang stood firm, refusing to budge.

Outraged and humiliated, Deputy Prefect Guan escalated the situation, commanding his trusted aides to forcefully seize the document.

Scribe Fang, equally furious, vehemently resisted.

News of the commotion quickly spread, drawing a crowd of onlookers within the limited space of the state office.

Jia Heming and his allies rushed to the scene, supporting Scribe Fang, while Deputy Prefect Guan’s aides adamantly pressed forward.

The confrontation escalated into a heated argument, neither side willing to yield.

Jia Heming, with a mocking tone, intervened, “The Prefect Lord should decide on this matter.

According to the rules, only the Prefect Lord has the right to authorize the reading of the account book.

If you wish to inspect it, Deputy Prefect Guan, seek permission from Lord Shao.

Why resort to force?” Scribe Hu, backing Deputy Prefect Guan, sneered sarcastically, “Don’t invent rules to give orders.

Since when did Anze Province adopt such absurd regulations?

Everything was fine before.

You’re just stirring up trouble!

Can’t the Deputy Prefect see it?

Even if you consult Lord Shao, wouldn’t he allow the Deputy Prefect to check the accounts?

Why go through all this trouble?” Deputy Prefect Guan sneered in agreement, garnering nods from those around him.
