Chapter 182 Your Highness, please spoil him!

The people were indignant.

Zhang Lan looked around at everyone, her voice choked with emotion.

"Fellow villagers, Jiang Hongzhi deceived the Zhang family, insulted my mother, colluded with bandits, and ruined our lives."

Every penny of the Zhang family's wealth was earned through the hard work of my grandfather and mother.

She pointed to the house behind her, which had been razed to the ground, and asked loudly:

"This is my Zhang family's house, is it permissible to smash it up?"

The people all shouted in unison, "Yes!"

"Shouldn't we just let this wolf in sheep's clothing, this ungrateful person, go to hell?"

"able!"

The people were all filled with righteous indignation.

Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted, "Smash this bastard!"

"Yes, smash him."

The people suddenly noticed many baskets of rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs next to them.

Ah, this...

It couldn't be easier to use.

Smash it!

The people scrambled to pick up the rotten vegetable leaves and threw rotten eggs at the scene.

Bang.

*Smack*

Jiang Hongzhi's head and body were instantly covered with rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggshells.

Egg yolk dripped down from the top of the onion, making it look incredibly messy.

Shen Chu was busy as a bee, directing Li Chengxuan to transport rotten vegetable leaves.

Pei Yuan looked helpless.

"You prepared all of this?"

With a wave of his hand, Shen Chu sent Li Chengxuan carrying another basket of rotten vegetable leaves.

The kind covered in pebbles.

Shen Chu wrapped a stone in a vegetable leaf and nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"Of course, these aren't essential for watching a play. Doesn't Your Highness think that without rotten vegetables and rotten eggs, watching a play is soulless?"

Does this even require a soul?

Pei Yuan remained silent.

"Sixth Brother, shall we smash it or not?"

Shen Chu handed over a rotten vegetable leaf and two small pebbles.

"I don't......"

Shen Chu pushed it forward again, her eyes shining like stars.

"Give it a try? Throw it out, it feels so good!"

Pei Yuan met his bright eyes, and as if possessed, he caught it and threw it away.

It hit Jiang Hongzhi's nose right in the middle.

Jiang Hongzhi screamed in agony as two tubes of blood flowed from his nose.

Chen Chu, holding Pei Yuan's arm, asked with great interest:

"How was it? Wasn't it great?"

Pei Yuan's eyes slanted upwards at the corners.

I didn't feel any pleasure or not, but seeing how happy he was, I thought it wouldn't hurt to smash it again.

The power of the people is terrifying.

In no time, Jiang Hongzhi was left battered and bruised.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Lan couldn't help but burst into tears.

She gripped Madam Zhang's hand tightly and said in a trembling voice, "Mother, we did it."

We ripped the dirty skin off him, did you see? Everyone was cursing him, beating him.

Madam Zhang's eyes were red-rimmed, and she was trembling as she gripped Zhang Lan's hand. "Yes, I saw it. It feels good. I've finally gotten rid of the anger I've been holding in."

Lan'er, we have to thank Lord Shen for all of this. If it weren't for him, my daughter and I would still be trapped in the bandits' den.

We must always remember the kindness of Young Master Shen.

Zhang Lan's eyes sparkled. "Yes, I know. I will remember Seventh Brother's kindness for the rest of my life."

Jiang's mother was heartbroken by her son's miserable state, so she stood in front of him, jumping up and down and cursing.

“You heartless bastards, my son didn’t cheat your family out of money or kill your family.”

Why are you smashing my son? Help!

Are you all dead? Seeing the house being vandalized, don't you even know to come and help?

Jiang's mother loudly called for the servants to come out and help.

The Flying Eagle Guards, each carrying a meteor hammer, stepped forward.

The Jiang family's servants shrank back in fright, huddled against the corner of the wall like quails.

Jiang Hongzhi shook off the rotten eggshells on his body and clapped his hands in a gloomy manner.

"I've already said there's a misunderstanding. Since you won't listen to my explanation, let's go home and talk about it later."

"Guards, take the lady and the young lady home!"

A group of people rushed out of the Zhang family's gate, each carrying a long stick.

These were all his trusted confidants whom he secretly kept.

With a wave of his hand, these men rushed towards Madam Zhang and Zhang Lan, carrying sticks.

Zhang Lan was so frightened that she took a step back.

The Flying Eagle Guards, carrying meteor hammers, went to meet them.

The two sides immediately engaged in a fierce battle.

Jiang Hongzhi seized the opportunity to pounce on Madam Zhang and Zhang Lan.

With a gloomy expression, he grabbed one person with each hand and said, "You won't listen to reason, so come with me."

"Let me go!" Zhang Lan struggled violently.

"You unfilial and disobedient brat!" Jiang Hongzhi raised his hand and slapped Zhang Lan hard.

Before the slap could land on Zhang Lan's face, Jiang Hongzhi felt a sharp pain in his arm.

The next second, he screamed and flew out.

Shen Chu withdrew her foot and landed nimbly in front of Zhang Lan, asking with concern, "Are you alright? Were you frightened?"

Zhang Lan shook her head, "It's okay, I know Seventh Brother is here, I'm not afraid."

Jiang Hongzhi rubbed his chest and recognized Shen Chu at a glance.

"Are you that salt worker? Are you the one helping them? Are these all your people?"

Shen Chu sneered, "So what if I am?"

Jiang Hongzhi scrutinized Shen Chu, his expression grim.

Jiang's mother stood with her hands on her hips and berated Zhang Lan.

"You filthy, rotten little bitch, you actually brought people to smash up your own father. Do you even have any respect for filial piety?"

I wonder where she seduced those scumbags from; they're probably all from bandit dens.

Now you're here framing your own father again? I'll tear you apart, you filthy, rotten little bitch!

Jiang's mother recklessly rammed into Zhang Lan.

Shen Chu shielded Zhang Lan behind him and flicked a pebble in his hand.

Jiang's mother felt a pain in her knee and fell to the ground.

Sun Yan coldly retorted, "This is Lord Shen Chu, the Salt Inspector sent by His Majesty to Changsha. How dare you insult the Salt Inspector!"

Jiang's mother spat out a mouthful of phlegm.

"Him? The Imperial Censor? If he's the Imperial Censor, then I'm the Queen Mother of the West."

My son just said you're just a salt worker, pshaw, what are you doing standing around our doorstep acting all high and mighty?

Shen Chu snorted coldly, slowly walked to Pei Yuan's side, and raised the imperial sword bestowed by the emperor.

"Fellow villagers of Anhua, I am Shen Chu, the Salt Inspector. I have come to Anhua with the Sixth Prince to clean up the salt administration in Changsha."

In order not to alert the bandits, the Sixth Prince and I had already arrived in Anhua incognito and happened to save Madam Zhang and Miss Zhang from being harmed by bandits.

The Sixth Prince has now led the Flying Eagle Guards to raze Lei Gong Village to the ground, and the bandit leader Lei Ying has confessed to his collusion with Jiang Hongzhi.

Zhang Lan bit her lip, her gaze towards Shen Chu filled with gratitude.

Seventh Brother deliberately obscured the time they arrived in Anhua in order to cover up the fact that she and her mother had fallen into the bandits' den and to protect their reputation.

Oh dear, Seventh Brother is so thoughtful and considerate.

Shen Chu continued, "Jiang Hongzhi colluded with the bandits of Leigongzhai to kill the Zhang family's wife and daughter in order to seize their property."

They deliberately exploited salt workers and deliberately inflated salt prices in Anhua, making it unaffordable for ordinary people to afford salt.

They even transported Anhua salt to other places to sell and make huge profits.

"Guards, arrest Jiang Hongzhi!"

The eagles immediately stepped forward and pinned Jiang Hongzhi down.

After a moment of shock, the people burst into cheers.

"Well done."

“Such an ungrateful, heartless bastard should be arrested and beheaded.”

The people were all clapping and cheering.

"The Sixth Prince is wise, and Lord Shen is wise."

A tsunami of cheers echoed throughout the street.

Shen Chu turned her head and looked at Pei Yuan with a smile.

"Sixth Brother, how are you feeling? Let me tell you, when you're catching bad guys, you have to do it in public."

"Look at the people's beaming smiles, their genuine joy; only then will you feel that what you've done has been worthwhile."

Pei Yuan squinted as he scanned the cheering, smiling faces around him, a smile playing on his lips.

"Well done."

Looking at his Flying Eagle Guard brothers, each wielding a meteor hammer, Sun Yan felt like crying but had no tears.

They were the Flying Eagle Guards, a powerful force in the capital, feared by all.

Now they've become a demolition squad wielding meteor hammers.

Thinking back to how he had rushed out all night to buy the meteor hammer and almost wore himself out, Sun Yan silently rolled his eyes.

Your Highness, please spoil him.
