Chapter 259, The Disastrous Star Comes to the World
Although Bai Gang got the answer, he was still a little uneasy.
He raised his eyes and forgot about Bai Chen, and said stutteringly, "There are rumors outside that you are a disaster star who has come to this world."
"Disaster star?"
"That's it?" Hearing this, Bai Chen showed disdain.
He sneered and said contemptuously, "Xiao Rongqi's proud disciple, you thought he was so capable, but that's all he has?"
Bai Chen looked proud, with a hint of arrogance in his eyes. He waved his hands and said, "Bai Gang, don't talk to me about this kind of thing in the future. You can handle it yourself."
"Master, I'm going to take care of it."
"But……"
Bai Gang frowned, took a deep look at Bai Chen, and continued, "But now the news is spreading in the city, and the people all believe it. Now many people have gone to the yamen to make trouble, and the county yamen and Yunzhou
The prefect’s place is already in a state of turmoil.”
"Those unscrupulous people not only want to kill you, they also say they want to kill Wang Chuan, the prefect of Yunzhou."
"You are also laughing. The people of Yunzhou have always been tough. Over the years, you have trained them all to look like cattle and use sharp and cruel methods. You don't know that Wang Chuan was beaten to a bloody head as soon as he came out of his home.
Liu, now he is lying at home half dead."
"Originally, those unscrupulous people wanted to break into our White Moon Club. Fortunately, in the past few days, we have been on guard against the Wei Dynasty royal family. Otherwise... I'm afraid you won't be able to see me."
Bai Gang was crying and kept telling his grievances.
After hearing what he said, Bai Chen's face, originally filled with contempt, suddenly froze.
Wei Wei was startled, looked at him in disbelief, and said in astonishment, "This... how is this possible? The people of Yunzhou have all received my favor, and they have always believed in me. How could they easily believe the nonsense of that bitch?
"
Hearing this, Bai Gang's face started to cry even more, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Who says it's not the case?"
"However, the two of them not only called you a disaster star, but... they also released a lot of insects into the fields, and most of the farmers in the city lost their crops."
"That's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that those insects were exactly the same as those you planted back then. Immediately afterwards, for some unknown reason, many tax collection documents from other states came out in the city, and the government officials
I don’t know why, but they were printed all over the streets. When those unscrupulous people took a look, they realized that the taxes outside had never been increased, and they also realized that Wang Chuan was secretly increasing the income. The key is, there was Wang Chuan there.
The filial piety that Sichuan has given us will become clear once we find a few people who understand it."
"Now those unscrupulous people have decided that you and Wang Chuan worked together to harm them and slandered the court. They are asking you to pay back the money and food. They also asked you to let Xie Qiyun go."
Bai Gang was out of breath and said a lot in one breath.
Bai Chen's face became increasingly ugly.
He has worked hard here for nearly eight years and finally built such a world. Is it going to be destroyed like this?
He still wanted to be the ordinary commoner in South Vietnam who was inferior to others.
No, absolutely not!
Glancing at Bai Gang, gritting his teeth and shaking his heart, Bai Chenchen ordered in a deep voice, "Immediately pass on the order, just say that everything was done by the king, and Bai Yuehui didn't know about it. As for the people's anointing that Wang Chuan looted, Bai Chenchen said
Yuehui will do justice for heaven and return everything to the people."
After saying that, Bai Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he had always been considerate, and part of Wang Chuan's filial money was made into false accounts and donated to local poor families.
Otherwise, it might be even more difficult to escape now.
However, after Bai Chen finished his instructions, Bai Gang still stood there, motionless under his feet, looking at him with increasingly heavy and panicked eyes.
Seeing this, Bai Chen suddenly became impatient and asked him in a scolding tone, "Bai Gang, what are you still doing? Why don't you hurry up and do it?"
"This...if I want to blame everything on Wang Chuan, I'm afraid it wouldn't be appropriate."
Bai Gang frowned, looking like he was about to speak but hesitated.
Bai Chen's face turned even more ugly, and he scolded him sternly, "Why?
Isn’t that right? What benefits did Wang Chuan give you? Are you here to speak well of him?"
Hearing this, Bai Gang quickly waved his hand and explained, "Sir, it's not me who speaks well for Wang Chuan."
"But... we have too many leverages in Wang Chuan's hands. If we blindly put all the blame on him, I'm afraid he will die."
"Moreover, those account books, not only Wang Chuan's, but also the account books left by previous prefects in the yamen have disappeared inexplicably."
"What!"
Bai Chen was shocked and his expression suddenly changed.
There was finally a trace of panic in his eyes that had been extremely calm just now.
He is not afraid of anything else, but once those account books, those account books of his dealings with previous prefects, are circulated, it will confirm the fact that he colluded.
If they just colluded with Wang Chuan, they could all fall on Wang Chuan.
But now, every prefect is colluding with him.
If you think with your toes, you can guess whose problem it is.
For a moment, Bai Chen's eyebrows became gloomy. He lowered his voice to the lowest level and asked Bai Gang, "How many people know about this matter?"
"Hui Ye, Wang Chuan is the only one who knows about this matter. Presumably, he wants to see what you will do."
"If you push him out, he might bite you back. If..."
"If you go and find the account book, he will probably help you."
Help?
He was determined not to let those account books get out. Then he, Wang Chuan, would be able to plunder them cleanly and cling to the Wei Dynasty prince again. If the court found out, at most he would be stripped of his official title and become a commoner, but he,
If you are about to lose everything, if you don't say it, you will risk your life if you don't say it.
Thinking of this, Bai Chen became more and more uneasy. He grimaced and hurriedly asked Bai Gang, "Where do the Crown Prince and Crown Princess of the Wei Dynasty live? Let's go and meet them."
"They are at Yuelai Inn."
"but……"
Bai Gang glanced at him in fear, and then added stammeringly, "But there are many people at Yuelai Inn. If you go there like this now, you will probably be surrounded by those unruly people, and they may even take action."
Damn it, why did you get into trouble with this difficult couple?
If I had known earlier, I should have killed them directly from the beginning, as the shrewish little princess said.
Now that the people have turned against him, what else can he use to fight against him?
Take those idiots in the prison?
Bai Chen gritted his teeth, seemed to have made a lot of determination, and said to Bai Gang, "Go and get me a set of women's clothes."
