Jiang Hu's eyes widened, full of hurt. He had never thought that one day he would hear such an introduction from Bei Bei. It was not Jiang Hu, nor was it Brother A Hu, but just his aunt's apprentice.
"Beibei, what's wrong with you?"
Beibei glanced at Jiang Hu and said nothing else. He just looked at the village chief and others and said, "You came at the right time. Let your people arrest the village chief's family. This guy attacked the royal family, so let's kill all nine clans."
"And the officials here are probably in collusion. Their taxes are two or three times more than what the court stipulates. You have to check it out carefully. I will follow up on this matter to the end, so please take some time to work on it."
This official attitude made Jiang Hu very unhappy. He looked at Bei Bei and said, "Let's not talk about these things first. Can we talk about it?"
Chu Shaoyang looked at Beibei, then glanced at Jiang Hu. He always felt that there seemed to be something different between the two of them, which made him very uncomfortable: "Beibei said that he didn't want to talk about private matters with you. Besides, do you think what's happening now is a trivial matter?"
"You really don't take Beibei seriously at all. Beibei is being bullied here. Why is it so difficult for me to ask you to do something?"
Jiang Hu frowned and looked at Chu Shaoyang who kept chattering: "Who are you? It's not your turn to interrupt us."
Jiang Hu was a little angry when a handsome boy suddenly appeared beside Bei Bei. How could Jiang Hu not be angry when this guy dared to nag here
Beibei looked at Jiang Hu and said, "Vice President Jiang has great authority. If you can't use it, forget it. I'll find someone else to come."
Jiang Hu got anxious when he heard this: "No, there's no need to look for anyone else. I can do it, these people, right? Come on, arrest the village chief's nine clans and investigate this matter."
At this time, Jiang Hu didn't care about the other people around. He immediately called Lingdang: "Lingdang, come up and apologize to Beibei."
Seeing Jiang Hu eager to apologize to Bei Bei, Ling Ling bit her lip. She was really angry, but she had to obey: "Princess, I'm sorry, it's my fault. The vice president has nothing to do with me. I was just wishful thinking."
"I just wanted to get rid of you before the vice president came back. I didn't want to see you around the vice president. I was just jealous of you. None of this has anything to do with the vice president. It's my fault."
Beibei raised his eyebrows and looked at Lingling: "Are you done?"
Lingling was a little confused about what Beibei meant. She could only look at Beibei. Beibei smiled: "Who do you think you are? You're not worthy of my anger. Okay, you can go now."
After finishing speaking, Beibei looked at Jiang Hu and said, "Get her away. Why would anyone come here to disgust me?"
Jiang Hu blinked his eyes: "I was going to let her go home by herself, but when I thought about how she made you angry, I brought her here and asked her to apologize to you."
Beibei looked at Jiang Hu and sneered, "Let her go. I'm not angry with her."
Jiang Hu breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, you are not angry anymore."
Beibei didn't know what to say anymore, so she just looked at Jiang Hu and said, "Go and deal with the things here first."
Chu Shaoyang watched Jiang Hu turn and leave, then he spoke: "What's going on between you and him? You two are good friends, right?"
When asking this question, Chu Shaoyang inexplicably felt nervous. Beibei nodded: "We are good friends, right? Brother Chu, don't worry, you are also a good friend! I won't abandon you just because my good friend is here."
"By the way, my friend is quite important. How about I go to your house and help you deal with your stepmother? What do you think?"
Chu Shaoyang was stunned. What stepmother? That was all made up by himself. He coughed and said, "No need for that. Anyway, I'm out now and I don't want to go back to that place. Just don't leave me behind in the future."
Qingyue also laughed when she heard what Chu Shaoyang said. However, she got along well with Chu Shaoyang these days. At least Chu Shaoyang didn't have any bad intentions, so it was not impossible for him to stay with the princess.
Jiang Hu was busy. The village chief's nine clans were not small! One third of the village's population had been arrested.
The whole village was shocked and ran over to ask what was going on. Then they learned that the village chief and his family had been arrested. They also learned that the taxes in the village were two or three times more than those outside. Everyone didn't know what to say.
Seeing that the people Jiang Hu brought were all ferocious, no one dared to stop them. So these people were tied up.
Jiang Hu looked at everyone and said, "We can still interrogate him while it's still early. Take him down and ask him about the tax issue. What's going on?"
So the village chief was taken over. The people of the Supervisory Committee had already prepared tables and chairs, and sat on them, looking at the village chief who was kneeling below.
"You are the village chief here, what's your name?"
The village chief was frightened by these people and said tremblingly: "My name is Qi Da'an, I am the village chief of Hongye Village. You can't do this to me. It's illegal for you to do this."
The people from the Supervisory Committee laughed: "Law? We are the ones who enforce the law. We are from the Supervisory Committee. You should have heard of the Supervisory Committee. It is specifically to check if anyone is breaking the law. Now they have found your Hongye Village."
"Come here and tell me how you collect taxes in Hongye Village. Do you see the villagers over there? I can ask any of them, so it's best not to lie, okay?"
The village chief was so frightened that he could only tell the people how he collected taxes every year. When the people in the Supervisory Committee heard this, they were puzzled: "You are really cruel. You are not afraid that these people will not survive. You dare to collect so much. Tsk, tsk, tsk, it really is not too much to execute the nine clans."
"Will they really execute all nine generations of my clan? My family is innocent. Can you please show some leniency?" The village chief was extremely worried. He knew that if he was caught by the Supervisory Committee, he would definitely be dead. But he wanted to plead for mercy for his family.
The people from the Supervisory Committee snorted, "You are about to die, and you are still thinking about your family! Are your family members innocent? Didn't your family enjoy the things you embezzled? As long as they enjoyed them, they are not innocent. Besides, you are just a small village chief, and you dare to do this. Who gave you the courage?"
"I advise you to tell the truth. Otherwise, even if you want to kill all your clans and give them a quick death, you won't get it. Oh, by the way, the princess just said that you colluded with the officials here, right?"
Princess! When the village chief heard this title, he was really angry. Is there something wrong with this royal princess? She is not a princess, she is not enjoying herself in Kyoto, but she is out here to provide free medical treatment. She must be sick.
Speaking of this, the village chief was silent. It seemed that the matter here was quite serious. If the village chief didn't say anything, the people from the Supervisory Committee would naturally not do nothing, and they slapped him directly.
"What? You don't want to say anything, right? You are an old man, even if you die, you deserve it. But if you want to see your descendants suffer, then you'd better not say anything. Come on, bring this old guy's grandson up."
These people already knew what was going on. The guy who was tied up was the grandson of the village chief, and he actually wanted to get the princess. The boss would definitely kill this guy, and he didn't want to die too comfortably.
The village chief's grandson was brought up soon. Looking at these people, he was terrified and said tremblingly: "What do you want to do?"
The person from the Supervisory Committee smiled and said, "Your grandfather doesn't want to cooperate with us. If you don't want to suffer, beg your grandfather."
This man had no spirit of suffering. When he heard this, he immediately shouted, "Grandpa, tell me what you know, otherwise your grandson will suffer."
It was a pity that the village chief said nothing and remained silent. The people from the Supervisory Committee wanted him to remain silent, so they took the hand of the village chief's grandson and said, "This hand is so white and tender and very clean. It doesn't look like a hand that has been worked for a long time."
"I like hands like this. Once the needle is inserted, blood will be drawn. It looks very beautiful!"
This was scary enough, and the village chief's grandson turned pale: "What do you mean by one shot? What are you going to do?"
Seeing the people from the Supervisory Committee taking out a long needle, the village chief's grandson began to tremble with fear.
"It's this needle, which goes directly into your fingers, connecting your fingers to your heart. That kind of pain, wow, wow, wow, it sounds fascinating. Come on, let's try it."
Hearing this, the village chief's grandson was terrified: "No, no, no, spare me, I don't know anything. Grandpa, Grandpa, save me."
The people from the Supervisory Committee liked to see this person asking for help, so they stabbed him hard with a needle: "Ah..."
A horrific scream almost deafened the executioners of the Supervisory Committee. He looked at the village chief's grandson angrily and said, "Why are you screaming? It's just one finger that was pricked. You still have nine fingers! Why are you panicking?"
Hearing that he would be stabbed nine more times, the village chief's grandson fainted from fear. The people from the Supervisory Committee looked at the village chief and said, "Your grandson fainted from fear, but it doesn't matter. Someone, bring a basin of cold water."
Seeing this man's brutal method, the people in Hongye Village were so scared that they dared not speak. How brutal! Doctor Mu seemed so kind these days, but I didn't expect that the people in my family would be so brutal.
Jiang Hu looked at Beibei and said, "It may take a while to fix this. Why don't we sit down and take a rest. Let's wait for our men to finish their work before we go. By the way, Beibei, are you planning to go home next? Or where are you planning to go?"
Beibei blinked: "I'll tell you when I think about it."
