Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess-Chapter 620 The Trouble Coming from the Xiao Family
Chapter 620 The Trouble Coming from the Xiao Family
It was unlike what happened to Lin Mengya who made everything go on smoothly.
At this moment, Baili Wuchen was frowning in the refugee camp. He poked his temples with his hands so that he could hold back his rage. The rage could provoke him to kill that jerk.
“Report, sir! Today, the vice commander asked his minions to find him two famous prostitutes for his entertainment before the sunset.”
The messenger’s voice became lower and lower as he spoke.
He knelt and dared not look at the commander whose expression became gloomier.
“Follow his order. But you need to tell him that this is the last time I would compromise with him. If Crown Prince’s plans are disrupted because of his evil deeds, he will bear all the responsibilities!”
Baili Wuchen spoke viciously. And now, his remaining eye was full of dissatisfaction with the vice commander who was useless.
Ever since they left the Capital City, that guy had always been causing troubles in various forms.
If it weren’t for his successful sister, he could only have been a local bully in some boondocks.
“That idiot could do nothing but drink, collect money, and flirt with women. Sooner or later, the plan would be ruined by such an idiot!”
“Yes, sir.”
The messenger dared not stay any longer. Anyone could tell that the commander had run out of his patience.
Baili Wuchen rubbed his sore head heavily. Just as he was about to pick up a document to read, he heard an extremely overbearing and unreasonable voice that interrupted his thought.
“Damn it! She’s just a woman! Baili Wuchen, come out and do me justice. I’ve come here to suffer, but these country bumpkins don’t know how to express their gratitude. Now, they even dare stop me from having fun! I’m telling you guys that I will be the royal brother-in-law, and I’ll kill your whole family in the future!”
The extremely arrogant words instantly made Baili Wuchen’s displeasure in his eyes rise to its highest level.
“Such an idiot!” Baili Wuchen had already rushed outside before he could think it over.
There was already a large crowd gathering outside.
They surrounded a weak and slim man whose face manifested his sexual proclivities.
Although the man was shorter than Baili Wuchen, he was dressed in gorgeous clothes made of red brocade.
The clothes were large, and they looked a little strange when they were worn on a thin and tiny figure.
At this moment, this wretched-looking man, guarded by the tall and strong soldiers, was extremely rude as he scolded the people around him.
The pair of frivolous eyes could not help but fall on some rather beautiful women.
His behavior provoked many men’s anger. It seemed that the public’s rage was about to let out. It would be impossible for Baili Wuchen to stand by and do nothing about it.
“What’s going on? Are you going to rebel?”
Although Baili Wuchen was thin and weak, his quality was completely different from that of the skinny former since he was from an orthodox aristocratic family.
Although he had a pure black eye mask on his face, he expressed a sense of solemnity in his remaining eye, which showed that he was the only person in charge here.
But judging from the current situation, it was obvious that the skinny guy had offended the masses.
At this time, Baili Wuchen stepped out. There was no doubt that he found a lot of hatred from the public as well.
Fortunately, there was someone standing in front of the crowd and trying to dissuade them. Otherwise, the angry people would have taught the skinny guy a lesson after they crossed the vulnerable defense of the soldiers.
“Calm down, everyone. This is General Baili from the Capital City. He is an official of the imperial court. And he is sent here to deal with the plague. He is in charge here, and he will certainly give us justice.”
These words made Baili Wuchen become the heat of the dispute.
He turned around and saw a man at his very young age.
The man was tall and handsome. He stood upright with good quality. Even though he was dressed in plain clothes, his graceful posture could not be hidden.
Although his age was similar to that of Baili Wuchen, the man could be extremely solid and stable.
Obviously, he was the representative of the refugees. In this case, it would be easy to solve the problem.
After pondering for a while, Baili Wuchen slowly walked up to the man with a cold look, as if he was to interrogate the man.
“Who are you? What happened here?”
The man looked handsome, and his temperament was prominently calm and steady.
After a simple salute, he spoke.
“Sir, it’s all because of the vice commander who robbed a woman and bullied her. He almost killed her husband. This event has been witnessed by the crowd here. Sir, please give us justice.”
Certainly, that idiot couldn’t hold back his desire any longer.
Baili Wuchen wished that he could kill the idiot right away, but he held in his anger on the surface.
“Are you telling the truth? There’s no proof for your remarks. Don’t forget, he’s an official, and you’re just a civilian.”
Although he hated this idiot, his identity was unusual. It would be better if this issue could be handled privately. Otherwise, he himself would be the one to blame if the issue went out of control since the Crown Prince would definitely not handle such a trivial matter.
Therefore, Baili Wuchen tended to warn the man that they would probably be the ones who bore the injustice silently.
Unexpectedly, the man looked at him coldly and uttered his words slowly.
“The proof and the witnesses are all here. And the jerk’s face was scratched by the woman. Everyone here saw it. Could he treat the lives of ordinary people recklessly only because he is the vice commander and the elder brother of the Crown Prince’s concubine? Certainly, even if it was the Crown Prince who did it, he couldn’t get away with it!”
The man spoke with great confidence. His words made everyone’s disgust for the vice commander reach its highest level.
Baili Wuchen was aware of the trouble. If this issue went wrong, the Crown Prince would get involved in it.
He knew what kind of place Yun State was, better than anyone else.
He couldn’t let this horny idiot ruin his work!
“How dare you! Since I’ve been put in an important position by the imperial court, I won’t bend the law for the benefit of myself. Now that you said that it’s the vice commander who forcibly robbed a woman, where is the woman now? I’m going to interrogate her myself.”
Baili Wuchen had a good plan. He would coax and scare the woman at the same time. And then, he would settle the issue by compensating the woman and her husband with a large sum of money.
Even if he had to punish that idiot, he would not do it in a hurry this time.
However, if he allowed those folks to treat him in that way, he would lose his dignity in the future.
But he didn’t expect that his plan would be disrupted halfway before it could even get started.
“OK, let it be. Everyone here could come with me, please. My surname is Xiao. We are the witnesses of what happened earlier. In this case, I have to ask you to do me a favor. Sir, if you can handle this issue impartially, I will thank you for your kindness like other people here.”
“This man’s surname is Xiao?”
Baili Wuchen squinted at the man carefully. And he was surprised to find that this man looked somewhat similar to the young master of the Xiao family who had disappeared at the end of last year. 𝗳𝗿𝐞ℯ𝙬𝗲𝗯n𝗼νel.𝒄𝑜𝘮
Could he be one of the well-known Three Young Masters of the Capital City in the past?
If it was in that case, it would not be easy to handle this case.
“Sir, may I know your name?”
Baili Wuchen had to soften his face, but his eyes still manifested his tentativeness and doubts.
Xiao Yixin slowly unfolded a gentle and harmless smile. However, the words that were uttered from his thin lips upset Baili Wuchen continuously.
“I am Xiao Qingyu. That woman is my cousin-in-law and the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family.”
All of a sudden, Baili Wuchen felt that what had happened this time completely went out of his control.
Xiao Yixin was the eldest son of the Xiao family, and his courtesy name was Qingyu. He was elegant and big-hearted. And his essays were the best in the world.
The Xiao family was the wealthy one that was no less than the Lin family.
That idiot could have robbed any other woman other than someone from the Xiao family. What was worse, he robbed her right in front of Xiao Yixin!
It should be noted that the Crown Prince’s concubine was probably a figure of significance in eyes of people like Baili Wuchen.
But in the face of the Xiao family, even the Crown Prince’s wife had to show some respect to them.
The Confucian scholars around the nation mostly came from the Xiao family. Having trouble with the Xiao family meant that most of the civil officials would get offended as well!
Baili Wuchen felt a sense of hopelessness, as his career would be finished because of this idiot’s behavior.
What had happened in the refugee camp was secretly delivered to Lin Mengya by Li Jia’s spy. It was Xiao Yixin who asked the spy to send the message.
Having read the confidential letter written by Xiao Yixin, Lin Mengya sighed quietly.
The sister-in-law from the Xiao family was the closest friend to her, and the former was easy-going and gentle as well. When Lin Mengya left at that time, she didn’t have time to say goodbye to her sister-in-law from the Xiao family.
She didn’t expect that such a thing would happen to her.
“Li Jia, give out my order. No matter how Baili Wuchen handles this issue, we can’t keep that vice commander alive anymore.”
She burnt the letter with the flame on the lamp. She originally thought that the jerk was just a little greedy for wealth. Moreover, the situation was special now. Even if he wanted to have fun with women, he should hold back his lust anyway.
She didn’t expect that this jerk would act like a beast and commit such an evil crime.
It would be just a waste of air to keep such a villain alive.
“You don’t need to be so angry. Don’t you think that Xiao Yixin would be able to guarantee everyone’s safety in accordance with his capacity? Moreover, do you think that the Xiao family could be so careless that they allowed that idiot to succeed so easily?”
Sitting on the edge of Moyan’s tiny bed, Qinghu comforted Lin Mengya gently.
He was afraid that she would overanalyze the issue and take it as her own fault.
“The sister-in-law from the Xiao family is a good person, and Xiao Yixin also tends to take care of his family. Of course, I can tell that the idiot didn’t succeed. If that jerk dies, Baili Wuchen will be the one who faces the biggest trouble. In accordance with the temperament of the Crown Prince, he will go to Yun State in person within few days. Then, I’ll see how Baili Wuchen shall explain it.”
If the message of Crown Prince’s arrival in Yun State was spread out, Crown Prince would have to make it come true. The good reputation of taking care of the refugees would inevitably be widely spread.
Then, all the credits would be attributed to the Crown Prince.
As a bad guy, he still wanted to form the image of a good person. There was nothing as wonderful as that in this world.
