The Government House acted swiftly, by the afternoon the County Magistrate had personally arrived.
He had originally thought that a housekeeper wouldn't be of much importance, but after the estate had been accounted for, he dared not delay any further.
"Master Tan, Madam, Yue Ming's family's assets have been calculated, totaling eight thousand taels, I have brought over the ledgers and silver notes," the County Magistrate said respectfully.
Tan Zhenghong gave a gesture of thanks: "We are grateful for Lord Tao's efforts."
With Yue Ming's servitude contracts in hand, this matter could have been handled privately, but since the Bank was involved, it had to be managed by the Guang House.
"This falls under my jurisdiction, it's my duty to address. By the way, the tenant farmers are strongly demanding Yue Ming's public execution, might I inquire as to Master Tan's thoughts on this?"
The County Magistrate expressed the issue that troubled him the most.
