On July 30, the day after Yan Zhigao was imprisoned, Yan Wenxiu, having no choice because the Provincial Governor Yuan refused to see him, went to the Su Family and asked Su San, the Advisor, to help arrange a meeting.
Su San didn't make any excuses and readily agreed to help.
During the conversation, Old Master Su also offered to help collect 20,000 dan of grain.
Yan Wenxiu was overjoyed to hear this, "Many thanks to Elder for the assistance. However, Governor Yuan has set a three-day deadline to collect 100,000 dan of military provisions, which is quite burdensome. This time, I seek Uncle's help also to gain more time."
Old Master Su frowned, "The Yuan Family has become more domineering in recent years ever since they had a consort enter the Imperial Court and the Fifth Prince began taking part in court affairs."
