Tang Xiaobei was usually careless in front of Jin Feng, looking like a simple-minded little girl.
But now the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce and Supply and Marketing Cooperatives have grown. The total number of workers in many departments such as shopkeepers, warehouses, distribution and so on, totals tens of thousands, and they are spread all over Sichuan, Sichuan and Dakang.
If Tang Xiaobei was really simple, how could he control so many people?
These clan elders are a group of older people. Who are Tang Xiaobei's opponents?
In addition, Tang Xiaobei knew the content of their conspiracy with Hong Er in advance, and even threatened and coaxed him with a few lies. This group of clan elders were suppressed and began to shift blame.
The person to blame was naturally Hong Er.
"Mrs. Xiaobei, we were all deceived by Hong Er, you know better!"
"Mrs. Xiaobei, you also know that the Hong family is the first tyrant of Yuxi Town, and Hong Er is the chief steward of the Hong family. We dare not disobey him when he speaks!"
"Yes, yes, Mrs. Xiaobei, we were also forced, please spare us!"
…
In the side room on the east side, Hong Er was so angry when he heard that the clan elder put all the blame on him that he immediately kicked down the door and went to argue with the clan elder.
But as soon as he stood up from the chair, the escorts on both sides held down his shoulders.
"Mr. Hong, Mrs. Xiaobei didn't call you. You'd better sit here honestly and don't make a sound. Don't make it difficult for us!"
One of the escorts said coldly.
When Hong Er heard this, he sat back on his chair and cursed those clan elders in his heart.
When the plot was being planned, when the clan elders heard that kelp could be smuggled in, each one was more happy than the other. At that time, they wanted to kowtow to him.
As a result, now that Tang Xiaobei found out, they dumped the shit basin on his head again.
In the side room on the west side of the living room, Hong Taoping also stood up at this time.
The escort in this room did not restrict his movements, but Hong Taoping did not intend to go to the living room, but walked to the door with a gloomy face.
This way you can hear it more clearly.
An escort came to him just now and said that Tang Xiaobei wanted to see him.
Although Jinchuan Daily has been promoting equality between men and women, Tang Xiaobei is Jin Feng's wife. Hong Taoping has always kept a sufficient distance from Tang Xiaobei or Runniang when he met them.
Although Tang Xiaobei has a relatively lively personality, he does not easily meet strange men.
So Hong Taoping was extremely confused when he learned that Tang Xiaobei was looking for him.
After being led to the camp by the bodyguard and not seeing Tang Xiaobei, Hong Taoping became even more confused.
But now that he heard the clan elders confessing their crimes, Hong Taoping immediately understood what Tang Xiaobei was looking for.
"Okay, everyone, shut up!"
Tang Xiaobei patted the table lightly, and all the clan elders immediately shut their mouths.
The room immediately became quiet.
"Because you are ignorant and deceived by Hong Er, I will not let the law enforcement team hold you accountable for this matter."
Tang Xiaobei said coldly: "But there is only one chance. I will personally supervise the fishing team's related matters later. If I find someone messing around behind my back again, don't blame me for settling the old and new accounts together!"
"Mrs. Xiaobei, we don't dare to do it anymore!"
"Mrs. Xiaobei, don't worry, we will fully cooperate with you from behind!"
The clan elders all patted their chests and made promises.
"I hope you remember your words!"
Tang Xiaobei waved his hand: "Go back and tell the folks that I will go to the porridge shed to serve porridge today. The food will be better than before. If you want to eat, go there and line up early!"
"Mrs. Xiaobei is really kind-hearted!"
"I would like to thank Mrs. Xiaobei on behalf of the folks!"
The clan elders left with great gratitude.
Tang Xiaobei looked at their figures with cold eyes.
Qing Mulan, who had been standing behind the screen, also came out: "Xiaobei, are you just going to let them go?"
"They are just ignorant people who were deceived. There is no need to argue with them!" Tang Xiaobei said.
In fact, Tang Xiaobei had no choice.
This group of people are very old, and they still have some prestige in the local area. If we really want to lock them up, if something bad happens in the prison, their people will definitely cause trouble.
Even if you don't show up, you still have to take care of their food. What's the point?
So after thinking over and over again, Tang Xiaobei decided to let them go for once and deal with the mastermind first this time.
Thinking of this, Tang Xiaobei winked at his personal guards.
The two guards walked to the side rooms on the left and right sides respectively and pushed open the doors of the side rooms.
As soon as the east side room was opened, Hong Er rushed out: "Tang Xiaobei, who tipped you off?"
This was also the question Hong Er was most curious about just now.
Who betrayed him?
This was too fast. It had only been more than an hour since the clan leader left, and Tang Xiaobei already knew everything.
Not to mention the clan elders, even Hong Er broke into a cold sweat when he heard Tang Xiaobei accurately tell the contents of their plot.
At the same time, he was also extremely angry, feeling that Tang Xiaobei did not trust Hong Taoping and actually arranged spies in the Hong family.
"You are so bold, you dare to call your wife by her first name and be disrespectful to her!"
When Qing Mulan saw Hong Er being so arrogant, she became angry and said in a cold voice: "Amei, slap me!"
"stop!"
Hong Taoping came out a step late. When he saw Qing Mulan was about to hit Hong Er, he immediately ran a few steps quickly and stood in front of Hong Er.
When Hong Er saw Hong Taoping coming out, he was shocked at first, and then became more at ease.
He knew very well how much Jin Feng valued Hong Taoping, which was also the fundamental reason why he dared to act recklessly.
Now that Hong Taoping is here, he has a backer.
Hearing this, Qing Mulan turned her head slightly and glanced at Tang Xiaobei.
In fact, with Tang Xiaobei's current demeanor, Hong Er just asked a question. She was not angry about it, nor did she think about using this trivial matter to beat Hong Er.
But now that Qing Mulan has spoken and Hong Taoping actually intends to cover her up, the nature of the matter has changed.
So Tang Xiaobei seemed to have not seen Qing Mulan's gaze and still drank tea with his head down.
Qing Mulan grew up in a powerful family and immediately understood what Tang Xiaobei meant, so she stopped talking.
For Amei, Qing Mulan did not change her words and cancel the order just now, so her last order is still valid.
So Amei pushed Hong Taoping away, went up and slapped Hong Er on the face.
Amei's full palm could even crack the tabletop, and it was obvious that it hit Hong Er in the face.
Hong Er was whipped around twice, his upper and lower teeth on the left side were blown away, and his cheeks quickly swelled up at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Second uncle, how are you?"
Hong Taoping quickly stepped forward to support Hong Er. Seeing the clear palm prints on his face, Hong Taoping turned to look at Tang Xiaobei: "Mrs. Xiaobei, how could you do this?"
"Mr. Hong, do you think Hong Er shouldn't be beaten?" Tang Xiaobei asked with a sneer.
