章 1707: Giving It to Her

The sum of 80,000 taels of silver was undeniably substantial.

Had it not been for Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan, no one else could have procured such a significant amount for the Prefect.

It raised a dilemma…

How could this Prefect maintain any dignity and confidence in front of these affluent families?

It was no wonder each Prefect's tenure was short-lived. Beyond the threats posed by bandits and outlaws, the influence of these powerful families might also play a role.

If these prominent families were covertly connected to the bandits and outlaws, each Prefect would likely seethe with frustration yet dare not voice their grievances.

What a vexing situation…

Qiao Xuan remained silent, and Fan Ruyin reveled in her satisfaction.

Being the Prefect's wife didn't alter the fact that money could overwhelm even a hero. Without funds, how could one hope to control the Fan family? Lord Prefect was too naive.
