Gu Yundong and Shao Qingyuan looked at each other and said to the bailiffs, "Sorry to trouble you. Let him go."
The bailiff was stunned. "Release him? Just like that?"
"Yes, we can do it ourselves from now on. Sorry to trouble you." Shao Qingyuan took two pieces of silver from his sleeve and handed them over. "Give this to everyone to drink. It's been hard on them to specially come over today."
The bailiff accepted the silver and the smile on his face became brighter.
Although they had only made this trip because of the good relationship between the Shao family and the prefecture magistrate, they had finally captured him. In the end, they did nothing and asked to let him go. They felt a little uncomfortable, as if they had been tricked.
However, Young Master Shao knew how to conduct himself. If he gave the money, he would be willing to make a few more trips.
The bailiff put the money away and left in high spirits.
