Wujia Village —
The village was vibrant and looked no different from usual.
But all the key figures and those in charge at various locations all looked towards the village entrance without prior agreement...
"Ring ring~"
At lunchtime, some students went home for lunch, while others ate in the classroom.
The teachers all ate in the classroom; they had no special privileges and all lined up to get their food.
"Master Lu, when is the principal coming back?"
"Well, I'm afraid it won't be until May."
"Wow, that took so long~"
"I can't teach science, and I can't understand the lesson plans left by the principal!"
"Don't worry, we old folks will give you some advice later~"
"Waaaaah, help me!"
Zhou Fangming complained bitterly, wondering what merit he had to be entrusted with such an important task by the principal!
I want to cry!
So difficult!
He recognized the words "ionization," "magnetic adsorption," and "thermal reaction," but when put together, he was completely baffled!
Pharmaceutical factory —
Da Niu got off work and ate her cafeteria food in her office.
Three vegetarian dishes and one meat dish, just like the workers' meals.
She finished her meal with great care, then took the lunchbox to wash it. During her lunch break, she touched her stomach and felt that she had been eating more lately.
I thought to myself, maybe Auntie Pang's cooking skills have gotten better and better lately~
Old house —
The impressive courtyard made Old Master Wu the center of attention among the old men in the surrounding villages.
Some relatives also like to come over and freeload.
Pamper him and coax him.
Although he enjoyed it, when relatives asked him to mediate and arrange jobs for their children, he calmed down, his enthusiasm waned, and he asked them to leave.
The vermilion gate of the courtyard was most likely closed.
Grandpa Wu was clear-headed. No matter what others said, such as that he had become rich and no longer recognized his poor relatives, he would not respond.
Hmph, you want to take advantage of him? He'll see if he'll give in or not.
But don't even think about taking advantage of his third son's wife!
Old Mrs. Zhou originally wanted to scold her husband for showing off, but now that she saw him sober up, he continued picking beans.
Soybeans and mung beans were drying perfectly fine, but the great-grandchildren knocked them onto the ground and mixed them up!
What a tragedy!
It's a bittersweet experience.
"Grandma, I want to go play with my sister!"
"Grandma, I want to go too!"
"Go on, go on, let your great-grandfather take you for a stroll."
Old Mrs. Zhou carefully protected the soybeans and mung beans she had picked, and gestured to her two great-grandsons to go and harm their great-grandfather.
"Great-grandfather~"
"Great-grandfather~"
"Sigh~"
Grandpa Wu sat up from his recliner and was surrounded by his two chubby great-grandsons.
The two little ones kissed him on the left and right, leaving his cheeks covered in drool!
Alright, alright, leaning on his cane, he slowly opened the door and strolled around the village with the two little ones.
Qingshan has been very busy lately, and he doesn't get home until sunset.
Da Xue was at home alone taking care of two children. Although she had maids and servants to help, she was still a bit overwhelmed.
No, it's because my daughter is too naughty.
A while ago, I was playing in the snow with the landlord's kids and had a snowball fight. I accidentally hit one of their kids on the head, causing a big bump. The other kid's parents came to complain...
One minute she was raiding a bird's nest with the neighbor's kids, and she took the baby eggs and ran off, leaving the kids too scared to come down from the treetops...
At this moment, she missed her mother-in-law and sister-in-law terribly.
She really wanted to know how her mother-in-law and sister-in-law had managed to tame this little devil in her family.
Many things happened while Jiang Yue was away; the stories can only be told when she returns.
Yunshui County
"Hey, have you heard? Last night, the prefect had several more young girls killed!"
"Shh, keep your voice down, do you want to go to jail?"
"Would it have helped to keep your voice down? Why doesn't lightning strike this beast dead?!"
"Hey, isn't there anyone who can deal with him?"
"He's the most powerful in Yunshui County, who dares to challenge him?"
"No, didn't a princess recently arrive?"
"What use is a princess? She's just a woman; how could she dare to face someone like that..."
"If that doesn't work, I'll go and complain to the emperor!"
"Don't be silly. You haven't gone far before you get assassinated. Take my advice, you don't need to throw your life away!"
“Count me in! My nephew was tortured to death by that beast, the prefect. He was only five years old!”
"I'm going too! My niece is only six years old. She was also kidnapped, and her body was found outside the prefect's mansion the very next day! That beast!"
"Me too~"
......
"Excuse me, may I help you write the complaint?"
"Who are you?"
"My name is Gu Liulang. I have survived for several years by pretending to be blind."
Now, an opportunity has presented itself to bring down the prefect and his henchmen. I wonder if you all would be willing to lend your full support?
"What opportunity?"
"I'm willing, I'm willing to risk my life as long as I can bring down this beast!"
Count me in!
"I'd love to!"
"I will obey your orders, young master!"
......
In different places within Yunshui County, Gu Liulang began collecting witness testimonies and physical evidence.
Their crimes are too numerous to list!
There was so much evidence against Wang Sinian that it filled a thick stack of indictments!
After receiving the evidence, Jiang Yue flipped through a few pages but didn't look at it in detail anymore.
He ordered the bodyguards to secretly escort the item to Anqing Prefecture overnight and hand it over to Prefect Liu!
The witnesses were secretly protected and properly housed.
Next, we just need to wait for the right opportunity to strike decisively!
During this period, although Wang Sinian did not come to pay his respects in person, his wife, Zhang, relentlessly sent out a flood of visiting cards.
It wasn't until the box was completely full that Jiang Yue opened one of the visiting cards...
It's nothing more than trying to win them over.
There's also a subtle, underlying threat.
Yes, a threat.
It seems that this Mrs. Zhang is not a kind person either.
Just as she was pondering how to respond, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the study—
"Knock knock knock~"
"Go in!"
Manager Qian presented the letter, printed in red lacquer, and said breathlessly:
"Reporting to Your Highness, the men sent by Lord Liu of Anqing Prefecture have already infiltrated Yunshui County. This is a letter written in Lord Liu's own handwriting."
Upon hearing the report, Jiang Yue felt much relieved.
With official military strength in hand, she felt more confident about what she needed to do with this group of elite troops.
After opening the letter, I read it quickly, skimming through it.
Prefect Liu was quite generous and gave her a hundred elite men.
Furthermore, he had already submitted a memorial to the emperor, intending to help her stabilize the name of Yunshui County.
The emperor did not obstruct the operation and instead issued an imperial edict ordering the emperor to fully cooperate with Lord Jiang in recovering Yunshui County, with no room for error!
Now, no one can stop Jiang Yue from recapturing Yunshui County!
Once the evidence she sent to Anqing Prefecture arrives, I believe the Emperor will soon dispatch an imperial envoy to thoroughly investigate the corrupt officials of Yunshui County!
However, to avoid collusion among officials and before the powerful families could react, she struck first!
"Since the Prefect's wife has extended such a generous invitation, it would be impolite of me to refuse."
"I have returned to the servants of the Prince's residence. Tomorrow, I, the Lady of the County, will keep my appointment."
"Yes, ma'am!"
