Chapter 262 Dealing with the Zhou Family
"As for me, my name is Jiang Changle." Jiang Changle gave his name easily.
ginger?!
With a thump, Zhao Shuyu fell to his knees.
Eh? No, he kneeled down subconsciously. After all, Jiang is the national surname, but who is this person actually?
Zhao Shuyu felt something was wrong only after he knelt down, but the Zhao family members behind him had also knelt down.
"Are you, Her Royal Highness the Princess?" he asked tentatively, thinking in his heart that only a princess could have such ability, saving the Zhao family and discovering the secret of the Zhou family's blood cake.
Jiang Changle paused after biting the apple and looked at Shui Xing suspiciously. Isn't it because the young master of the Zhao family is extremely smart that he can surpass his mother?
But he knelt without even knowing who she was? Was he so casual?
Then again, Jiang Changle wasn't actually famous? She was always flattered by her subordinates, and she thought she was very powerful.
Jiang Changle was embarrassed.
As soon as Jin Xing saw her master's appearance, he knew what she was thinking. "Well, our master is the Fourth Princess."
Who among ordinary people would dare to call the princess by her name? Naturally, many people have never heard of it.
But if you say the Fourth Princess, the Princess of War, then many people will definitely know her.
As expected, Zhao Shuyu was shocked, and then he became excited, "You are the Fourth Princess! Your humble servant greets you and thanks you for saving my life."
If she is the fourth princess, then it would explain why her abilities are so strong.
The fourth princess was originally a god of war and had defended the border for several years.
Later, even the exiled Fourth Princess was able to open a workshop and do business in a hurry, suppress the Fifth Princess's disaster relief in the west where the snow disaster occurred, defeat the Second Princess to save Jiuer County, and the corpse army in Jiusan County was also eliminated by the Fourth Princess.
Once the Jiang family's workshop opened, it directly brought the Eastern Dynasty into another civilized world.
When my mother was still alive, she said that if anyone could save this dynasty, it would definitely be the Fourth Princess, because the Fourth Princess was the ruler of the prosperous era.
Now the Fourth Princess has come to save Liuqi County, but unfortunately, his mother is no longer around.
"Wow~ Princess, why didn't you come earlier!" Old Mrs. Zhao knelt down and fell to the ground, unable to get up, crying in grief.
"Woo~"
As soon as Old Lady Zhao started crying, the females behind her also started crying.
If the fourth princess had come earlier, their daughter and parents would not have died.
Naturally, they did not dare to blame the Fourth Princess's intentions. They were just saddened by the unfairness of fate and reluctant to part with their deceased relatives.
"Grandma, please don't be like this. The princess saved our lives and it's already very good.
I will work hard with the princess to avenge my parents." Zhao Shuyu was also in tears, but his tone was very firm.
"I know, I'm grateful to the princess for saving us~" The more desperate they were when they were humiliated, the more grateful the people of the Zhao family were to Jiang Changle for saving them.
"Shui Xing, take them downstairs to rest. Have you eaten yet? If not, make it yourself. We'll continue discussing things here."
Now is not the time to cry. They are few in number, and only a surprise attack can bring down the Zhou family, at least the Zhou Fugui family in six or seven counties.
In this regard, Jiang Changle's estimates are rarely wrong.
"Yes, come with me." Shui Xing was the first to arrive at this yard. She was familiar with the environment early on and was just the right person to take care of the Zhao family.
After the rest of the Zhao family had left, Jiang Changle spoke, "Sit down and talk."
Jin Xing sat down below Jiang Changle without saying a word. Jiang Changle naturally handed him two peaches, which were naturally produced in the space.
Jin Xing liked to eat peaches, and Jiang Changle always remembered, "Are you okay?"
It is not easy to save many members of the Zhao family from the huge army, so Jiang Changle has to pay attention to them.
"Of course, girl, don't you see who I am, a soldier?"
Jin Xing grinned, revealing his eight big white teeth. He took the peach from Jiang Changle's hand, but gave one to Zhao Shuyu who was sitting next to him.
"I, I don't need it." Zhao Shuyu was flattered, but didn't dare to be presumptuous.
"Are you allergic to peaches?"
"Huh?" What's an allergy? The Fourth Princess's level was indeed high, and he even understood what she said.
"No, just eat it if I give it to you." Jin Xing stuffed the peach into Zhao Shuyu's hand and started eating it himself, feeling very happy.
Zhao Shuyu took the peach but didn't dare to eat it. Instead, he looked at Jiang Changle cautiously.
Is the Fourth Princess, who is so casual, really planning to deal with the Zhou family?
"Master Zhao, do you have any countermeasures? Why not tell me what you think?"
According to Jiang Changle's approach, he would naturally start doing it directly, but he had to have a legitimate reason to do so, otherwise it would be troublesome if he was given an handle and attacked by other forces.
"A way to deal with the Zhou family?
In fact, I have evidence of Zhou Fugui's corruption and abuse of power. It shows that he had forged documents, levied unfair taxes, and extorted city entry fees from villagers over the years.
Later, Zhou Fugui discovered the clues, and in order to protect me, my mother revealed that she knew the secret about the blood cake.
But I guess my mother didn't know much, but Zhou Fugui would rather kill a hundred people by mistake than let one go, and used the Zhou family army to get rid of my mother.
Princess, you know, there was an inspector from six or seven counties. At that time, the yamen's secretariat suddenly caught fire, burning all the documents inside, and the inspector happened to be burned inside.
Zhou Fugui casually produced forged evidence and beheaded my mother. He had 80,000 Zhou family soldiers behind him, and our city defense army only had 20,000 soldiers, so we were no match for him at all.
Furthermore, since he used the Inspector's injury as an excuse, the city troops had no reason to stop him."
Once County Lady Zhao was defeated, the Zhao family had no power because they were not a prominent family and could be manipulated by the Zhou family.
"Where is the Inspector? I'll go see him."
Jiang Changle's interest immediately piqued. She had a great affinity with the so-called inspector and hoped that the inspector would not let her down.
“In the guest room of the government office, the commander of the city defense army is General Luo, who is a fairly fair man.
The Inspector should actually know that it was the Zhou family who harmed him. Perhaps the princess can unite the two parties and use my evidence to identify Zhou Fugui.
Then the Zhou family will surely fall. As long as there is a chance to plunder the Zhou family, the princess will make those blood cakes appear in the world and let the world see the ugly face of the Zhou family."
Then, it was a contest for military power among their upper class, and he, a small official, was powerless to do anything.
"You're right. I'll go to the government office, and Jin, you go to the city defense troops. As long as they're willing to show up, it's fine."
When it comes to fighting, the three of them, the master and the servant, are actually enough, and their destructive power is absolutely amazing.
Zhao Shuyu didn't know. He thought the Fourth Princess came prepared. "Princess, have you prepared an army to rescue six or seven counties?"
Jiang Changle's face froze. Another large army? Where would she get so many troops? The army for the Northern Expedition wasn't even large enough.
You may not believe it, but she actually only came to rob the resources of the sixth and seventh counties, such as the sulfur mines and saltpeter mines.
