"Is there no one who can rein him in?!"
Old Lady Fan expressed her dissatisfaction. Then, a sneer crossed her face. "He's just a disgraced official banished from the capital. I've heard he's clashed with the nobility there and holds a middling position. Who doesn't know his background, and who fears him? Prepare a lavish gift and head to Huaixi province to meet the Lord. Let's see how he reacts when we bring Lord Shao down! I'm curious to know!"
The two Old Masters exchanged puzzled glances.
What was their mother thinking? Anze Province was the most remote region in Huaixi Province, separated by rugged mountains and difficult terrain. It had long been infested with bandits, earning a reputation as a lawless area. The provincial capital rarely paid it any attention. Even taxes were scarcely collected. The local officials were hardly ever bothered unless something major happened.
