Chapter 102: What a coincidence, let's just pick the tendons
Watching the nouveau riche pulling the woman in white.
Wang Qingniu and Zhou Yang turned around tacitly and ignored it.
But as the woman's crying became louder and louder, Zhou Yang turned around impatiently.
"You idiot, go do it somewhere else!"
"Don't wait for His Royal Highness and the Regent to see it."
Faced with the scolding from his brother-in-law, the nouveau riche quickly put on a smiling face.
"Hehe, got it, cousin-in-law."
After saying that, he forcefully pulled the woman in white up and walked into the alley nearby.
However, at this moment, a group of people approached from afar.
It was Jiang Chen and his convoy!
From a distance, Jiang Chen could hear the woman's desperate cries.
"Help! Help!"
Hearing the woman's loud cries, Jiang Chen frowned.
He immediately slapped the horse under his crotch with all his strength and rushed to the front of the nouveau riche.
However, Yu Qingbei, who was following behind Jiang Chen, was slightly stunned.
But soon, the young prince came to his senses.
Several Jinyiwei also hurriedly followed Jiang Chen.
"It seems that the lesson I taught you yesterday was not enough!"
Hearing this voice, the nouveau riche who was dragging the woman trembled.
His whole body began to tremble, and the woman in his arms was thrown to the ground.
"Cousin-in-law, that's him!"
"It was he who humiliated me in the street yesterday!"
"Catch him quickly, I want to give him a good beating."
The nouveau riche pointed at Jiang Chen and spoke loudly to Zhou Yang who was standing beside him.
However, after hearing the upstart's words, Zhou Yang's face changed drastically.
"Who is your cousin's husband? Don't talk nonsense!"
Looking at this scene, Jiang Chen couldn't help but smile playfully, and looked at Zhou Yang with narrowed eyes.
"Oh, so County Magistrate Zhou knows this guy?"
"No, Lord Jiang, I don't know this rogue."
The trembling Zhou Yang blurted out without even thinking.
At this moment, Zhou Yang was about to collapse.
This damn idiot!
Tell me, you have offended the Regent.
Now he wants to drag himself down with him, what a jerk.
“I see.”
Looking at Zhou Yang crawling on the ground and trembling, Jiang Chen turned around calmly.
Seeing that his cousin's husband actually knelt down in front of Jiang Chen.
No matter how slow-witted this nouveau riche was, he already knew that his cousin-in-law couldn't afford to offend Jiang Chen.
The nouveau riche, filled with fear, quickly knelt on the ground.
"My Lord, I am blind."
"Just treat me like a piece of shit and let me go!"
Hearing this, Jiang Chen got off the horse with an expressionless face.
He walked to the woman in white and helped her up.
"Is the girl okay?"
"I am fine. Thank you for your help again, sir."
The woman in white pushed Jiang Chen's hand away and knelt on the ground.
"You went to bury your father, so why are you here?"
Looking at the kneeling woman in white, Jiang Chen smiled helplessly.
"Your Excellency, I want to repay you."
"That's why I came here to wait for you under your guidance."
"I never knew I would run into that scoundrel again."
As she spoke, the face of the woman in white behind the veil actually began to cry.
Hearing this, Jiang Chen directly drew out the Embroidered Spring Sword of the Jinyiwei behind him.
Then he threw it in front of the woman in white.
"Today, I will make the decision for you."
"You can do whatever you want with him!"
Looking at the Embroidered Spring Knife thrown by Jiang Chen in front of her, the woman in white stopped crying.
She stood there in a daze, but soon came to her senses.
"Sir, I dare not harm anyone's life."
"Please let this man go, sir."
Hearing this, Jiang Chen nodded with satisfaction.
This was exactly the effect he wanted. What he just did was just a test of the woman.
If the woman picked up the knife and killed the upstart without hesitation.
Then he would not hesitate to care about the life or death of the woman in white.
"Come here, drag this scoundrel away and cut his tendons."
"yes!"
Following Jiang Chen's order, several Jinyiwei immediately stepped forward.
Drag the upstart away directly.
"grown ups!"
"My Lord, please let me go!"
"grown ups……"
As the nouveau riche's wails grew farther and farther away.
Jiang Chen then helped the woman in white up and handed her over to the Jinyiwei behind him.
But he still spoke to the woman.
"If you want to stay with me and repay me, then come on board with me."
"If you don't want to, you can leave now."
After saying that, Jiang Chen turned around and walked towards Yu Qingbei who was standing next to him.
"I'm sorry to make you laugh, little prince."
"Haha, no way, Brother Jiang is so hateful of evil."
"I admire you very much, but, Brother Jiang, can we get on board?"
As he said that, Yu Qingbei asked with a smile.
Hearing this, Jiang Chen smiled awkwardly.
"Okay, okay."
The two men walked onto the boat without paying any attention to Wang Qingniu and Zhou Yang who were kneeling beside them.
As the two men boarded the boat, the Jinyiwei and the guards from Huai'an Prince's Palace followed behind them.
They all carried their luggage on board and then started the boat.
In this way, Jiang Chen and his party continued to travel towards the south of the Yangtze River.
After returning to the boat, Jiang Chen asked someone to bring the woman in white over.
Follow the Jinyiwei to Jiang Chen’s room.
As soon as the woman in white entered, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Jiang Chen.
"This little girl greets His Excellency the Regent!"
"Wake up, what's your name?"
Jiang Chen, who was still a little seasick, leaned back on the bed and asked calmly.
"I am Su Qingcheng, a native of Anbei."
Jiang Chen frowned when he heard the woman's surname and household registration.
"Since you are from Anbei, why did you come to the south?"
After Jiang Chen asked this question.
Su Qingcheng's body trembled and she covered her face and cried again.
Seeing this, Jiang Chen had no choice but to stand up and coax him.
Only then did he learn that Su Qingcheng came from a wealthy family and was a well-known wealthy businessman in Anbei.
However, Su's father believed what the villain said and sold all the family assets.
He came to Jiangdong with his family, intending to become a salt merchant.
But they encountered robbers on the way and lost most of their assets.
After arriving in Jiangdong, he was cheated of all his remaining assets by the villain.
In desperation , he had to stay on the streets and live by begging.
Gradually, Su's father became ill and his family was separated.
In great grief, he passed away.
"You are a poor man too!"
"Su Qingcheng, are you willing to stay with me and be a maid?"
After hearing about Su Qingcheng's life story, Jiang Chen sighed.
"I am willing!"
"So, starting from today."
"You are responsible for taking care of my food, clothing and daily life!"
"As you command."
After hearing Jiang Chen's words, Su Qingcheng immediately called herself a servant.
This made Jiang Chen nodded with satisfaction.
This woman is quite perceptive, he likes her.
But, just in case.
Jiang Chen still instructed the Jinyiwei to investigate Su Qingcheng's background.
