Chapter 273 Sending a Plaque
The courtyard of the post station was originally small, and now it was crammed with a hundred royal guards, all wearing armor stacked on top of each other, looking like a large army approaching.
There was a house behind the officials, and the door was blocked by Jiang An. They were like turtles in a jar!
The official who spoke first was pushed out by a group of colleagues, his legs trembling under his official robe.
"Miss…"
"It is against etiquette for you to take action privately. We officials will definitely give you and the Zhenguo Palace an explanation on this matter..."
Jiang An stood on a chair, surrounded by a group of people.
She put her hands on her hips and smiled coldly, "The Zhenguo Palace doesn't care about your bullshit explanation."
Official: "Miss, you have to be reasonable when doing things..."
Jiang An raised her eyebrows. This action seemed to be exactly the same as her father's.
"Reasonable?"
She pulled a smile from the corner of her mouth, "Okay, I like to reason the most."
"But..."
Jiang An raised his hand, and the guards tilted their sticks in unison. Although they were clearly sticks, they gave off the momentum of broadswords.
"I believe in talking about reason after the fight. It's faster this way."
She lowered her hand, and the guards in black armor rushed forward.
The lady has instructed, don't break your hands and feet, don't make your brain stupid, the rest is up to you.
As long as I can catch my breath and get up and continue working, that's enough!
They heard clearly what Jiang An said just now outside, and they were indignant in their hearts, so their men used more force!
There were even a few bodyguards who felt that the beating with sticks was not enough to satisfy their anger, so they kicked him several times.
The officials who were kicked screamed in anger.
The governor Wen Shoushi, who was watching from outside the courtyard, blinked away the moisture in his eyes, turned his back and wiped it with his sleeve.
Not a single word of what Miss An An said just now was made up in anger. She had been to the government library countless times and had read all the case files...
Wen Shoushi thought that the little girl no longer remembered it.
Unexpectedly, she remembered it all, deep in her heart.
"grown ups…"
A post station clerk ran over, looking anxious, "The Second Prince is here, along with Miss Xie!"
Wen Shoushi immediately called out to him, "Quick, go and close the gate."
"Why is the governor here?"
Wen Shoushi straightened his official robes and saluted the Second Prince Jiang Yizhou with a smile, "Greetings, Second Prince..."
"Your Highness, I'm here to check at the post station to see if there's anything missing."
"The people guarding the post station are all rough men, so it's inevitable that they won't provide good service..."
His answer was accompanied by screams from the tightly closed gate behind him.
Jiang Yizhou glanced at the courtyard door and said in an ambiguous tone, "Is that so..."
His accompanying guards said that they saw the little ancestor bringing people to the post station and heading straight to the courtyard where the officials lived.
He doesn't look like he's here to have a good talk.
He pointed to the closed door, "That sound...?"
Wen Shoushi replied with a smile, "Maybe the officials are exercising."
Xie Chaoyan: "Governor, are you really exercising?"
Her tone was normal, but it contained a hint of questioning.
Wen Shoushi stood in front of the door and said, "Miss Xie, that's true."
He looked at her, stepped aside, and made a 'please' gesture, "Why don't you go in and take a look yourself, Miss?"
One more of you won’t make any difference.
I guess given the girl's current condition, even a prince would give her a big nose slap if he came.
Whether you dare to go in or not is up to you.
The second prince Jiang Yizhou also said, "Then why don't you go in and take a look for me, Miss Xie?"
Anyway, we are not in the same group. I would be happier if you got beaten.
Xie Chaoyan chuckled, "Chaoyan is just asking, since the officials are so interested, why bother to disturb them?"
Jiang Yizhou: "Then... go back?"
Xie Chaoyan brushed her body and said, "Farewell, Second Prince."
Jiang Yizhou pointed to the wide road, in a good mood, "Don't be polite, let's walk together~"
And so, the two returned the same way.
As for the officials wailing in the courtyard behind him...
The second prince said, he is not from my party, so I don’t care whether he lives or dies.
Besides, I have already paid the money, but they still won't pay?!
You deserve to be beaten!
After another stick of incense passed, the door opened again.
The first to come out were rows of black-armored guards. They stood outside the door, waiting for the young lady to come out.
When the little girl stepped out of the yard, she was carrying a lot of money bags in her hands, and the brocade boxes in Zhengyan and Zhenglu's hands were piled high.
"come..."
The clerk who was waiting there stepped forward and said, "I'm here!"
Jiang An's fat hand hooked a purse, "Go, find them a doctor with better medical skills~"
Behind him, Zheng Yan said, "No, miss, it's such a waste!"
"We have a doctor in our house."
The purse that was about to reach the clerk's hand was taken back by the girl.
She nodded in agreement, "What you said makes sense. It's a good opportunity to let the court doctor try out the new medicine he's researching."
Jiang An stretched himself and called to his guards, "Let's go back to the mansion!"
"Oh, right…"
She leaned over and waved to the officials who were piled up in the yard, "Officials, don't forget to get up and work tomorrow!"
"The Second Prince has asked us to repair the official road. Please supervise the work carefully~"
We guarantee that you will wake up earlier than the chickens and sleep later than the dogs every day!
Her only response was still the officials' barely audible "ouch".
The little girl walked out while shaking her head, "So, don't do anything that will make you feel guilty!"
She didn’t know whether the ghost would come and knock on the door, but Jiang An would definitely come.
After returning to the palace, Jiang An went straight to the study.
She also did not forget to call Hu Yan and Xie Yunshan, who were temporarily living in the palace, to come over.
"Why did you call us here?"
Jiang An took out an abacus and motioned for them to look at the messy and thick stack of silver bills spread on the carpet, as well as the small change and even copper coins piled next to it.
"Count the money!"
Xie Yunshan was shocked!
He picked up a copper coin and looked at the girl through the small hole in the middle. "Did you rob the official?"
The little girl shook her head sincerely, "No."
General Xie was just half relieved when he heard her say, "We didn't rob, we just beat them up."
He said, "This is not robbery!"
Jiang An glared, "No!"
She said confidently, "These are all donated voluntarily for pipeline repair. It's not robbery!"
The little girl shook her head and said, "An An ordered people to order a lot of plaques, and there are seals of Chongzhou government on them..."
“It’s a great kindness!”
"If it's not enough to hand it over to them, I can send someone to Kyoto to make sure their great achievements are publicized along the way!"
"Tsk tsk..."
Xie Yunshan moved closer to the old fox, so scary!
"Other people give a sweet date after a slap in the face, but you beat him half to death and then give him a plaque..."
"Why don't you just send a tombstone over?"
Jiang An was busy counting money. He smiled and looked up when he heard this. "I was thinking about it."
But it is a bit unreasonable that more than a dozen officials died in Chongzhou...
She is not afraid of fighting, because the dog emperor can't win anyway.
But, war is not good, she doesn't like it...
