Chapter 127 Going to Ba Village



Jiang Chen's words were exactly what Jiang Qingqing was thinking.

She was originally thinking about what plausible excuse she could use to tell Jiang Chen about her involvement.

Unexpectedly, before she even started to take action, the other party took the initiative to extend an olive branch to her.

If you don’t answer it now, when will you?!

She quickly left her seat and stood in front of Jiang Chen and Xiao Linting, her eyes as bright as stars.

"If brother is willing to take me with him, that would be great!"

Jiang Qingqing clenched her fists and looked at Jiang Chen with bright eyes. At this moment, she wished she could respectfully invite Jiang Chen to be the most powerful person.

Xiao Linting, with his elbows on the armrests, leaned sideways, and looked slightly at Jiang Qingqing's little head. He curled his lips and smiled.

"Now that it's settled, Your Highnesses should stop wasting time. Pack up and I will accompany you to Ba Village."

"Today?"

Jiang Qingqing was still immersed in the joy of Ba Village, and for a moment, her mind was blank.

When Chad heard what her uncle said, she was a little confused.

Jiang Chen took the initiative to explain: "Today we are just going to Ba Village to check out the situation and compare it with our expectations."

This was said quite professionally. Jiang Qingqing looked at Jiang Chen in surprise and nodded.

"Since my brother has said so, let's do it."

Jiang Qingqing hurriedly said "wait a moment", turned around, ran to the backyard, looked for something, and came back.

In her arms, she had a stack of Ba Village planning papers with plans already made.

Xiao Linting pretended not to notice the piece of paper on Jiang Qingqing's chest. He stood up calmly, waved to the two of them, and led them out of the Tianqi Palace and headed towards Ba Village on the outskirts of Beijing.

Ba Village is still the same Ba Village I saw last time. It can be seen with the naked eye that the village is becoming more and more desolate.

It is obvious that this group of people are from a prominent background.

The last time they came to Ba Village, because the reason was not clear enough, they really couldn't just walk in carelessly.

This time, it's completely different.

Jiang Qingqing got off the carriage, looking very arrogant.

She doesn't look like a pampered princess from the palace who has everything she wants. She is clearly a village tyrant who holds the power of a landlord.

Their group arrived at the most senior official's place in Ba Village. Jiang Chen and Jiang Qingqing walked in. The leisurely officials in the yamen saw the courtyard that suddenly became lively and came over curiously.

Jiang Qingqing waited for Jiang Chen to sit in the main seat, then she stepped on her feet and sat in another seat.

It can be said that his posture is actually even more impressive than Jiang Chen's.

"Bring out your lord. Who was it that interfered with this princess's petition?"

Jiang Qingqing raised her chin, looked at the officials gathered in a circle at the door, and asked in a very arrogant tone.

These people had never seen what Princess Tianqi looked like, but looking at this posture, and seeing someone who dared to sit in the position of Grand Tutor right away, they looked at each other for a moment, and a startled person staggered a step, ran out of the yamen, and went to the next door Ban mansion to look for someone.

There were murmurs of conversation in the yamen, and Jiang Chen and Xiao Linting were checking the posts on the desk.

After a while, the adult who received the news hurried over and saw Jiang Chen sitting in the main seat with a serious expression.

Xiao Linting beside him was even more famous. He was a favorite of the current emperor. Who among the officials in the court didn't know Xiao Linting's identity! ?

The people in this room all have extraordinary backgrounds.

He gritted his teeth and bowed, "Greetings to the adults."

"What's your name?"

Jiang Qingqing asked the person in front of her before Jiang Chen.

The adult was in a daze for a moment, then he looked at the armchair beside him and found that there was a distinguished person sitting there.

Although he is young, he is dressed in luxurious attire.

Even Prince Xiao didn't sit down, but she dared to sit down. This person must be extraordinary.

The adult took a close look at Jiang Qingqing's face, but was glared back at fiercely by Jiang Qingqing.

"I am Zhou Yuan, from Ba Village..."

Before Zhou Yuan finished his self-introduction, Jiang Qingqing waved her hand impatiently. She frowned and said, "Okay, stop introducing yourself. This princess doesn't want to hear you say these words either."

"You, just make it clear now," Jiang Qingqing said, "This Ba Village is no longer under your control."

Her tone was casual, but her words were like heavy bombs, exploding among the crowd.

The sound of this whispered conversation suddenly stopped.

Jiang Qingqing looked around at everyone and pointed at Jiang Chen.

"The Third Prince is the one who took over Ba Village. Who is the person in charge of the population in your village? Ask him to come out and answer."

Jiang Qingqing raised her voice and spoke again.

This was said in a very casual manner, which was totally different from the style of the smart and lovely princess in the palace.

Xiao Linting glanced at the little guy sideways, but did not say anything to stop him.

"I am in charge of the population of Ba Village... Sir, what do you want to ask?"

Being addressed as "Sir" was a new title to her. Jiang Qingqing pointed at the man who stood up and asked, "How many people are there in the village now?"

"If we count them one household at a time, there are less than ten households, and each household has no more than five people. But they are all elderly people, and they are not really capable assistants."

“How many people have decided to move out of Ba Village?”

Jiang Chen finally got the chance to speak. Without waiting for Jiang Qingqing to react, he asked first.

The man looked at Jiang Chen, bowed quickly and said, "There are quite a lot. There are only about fifty people who have not moved out yet."

This number is quite small for Jiang Chen and Jiang Qingqing.

They both looked a little surprised. Xiao Linting didn't say a word from beginning to end. He just looked at Jiang Qingqing and asked these people all kinds of questions.

“How many of these housing facilities can be demolished at will?”

Jiang Qingqing thought about it and decided to tell what she was most concerned about at the moment.

"We have to check each household one by one. A few days ago, because there were too many procedures... we haven't been able to comprehensively understand the situation."

This sounds high-sounding, but in reality, we have no idea how many households can be demolished.

Jiang Chen and Jiang Qingqing looked at each other and nodded in tacit understanding.

Jiang Chen picked up a blank post and ink pen from the table and stood up.

Jiang Qingqing also stood up, walked to the man and pointed forward.

"You, lead the way, tell me one by one whether it can be demolished."

After saying that, Jiang Qingqing and Jiang Chen walked out of the yamen, followed by a large group of people, all of whom were curious about what Jiang Qingqing and the others were going to do.

Only Xiao Linting took a few slow steps and came in front of Zhou Yuan.

"Since Lord Zhou is not good at managing the village, he will be transferred to Tongzhou soon. Someone will tell you the details in person."
