Chapter 394 His Weakness - Setting Village Rules (2)_1
He had ways to deal with those with ulterior motives but could not reveal his own weaknesses, lest they seize the opportunity! In this world, apart from the Crown Prince, she was his Achilles’ heel. Even if there was just a one-in-ten-thousand chance, he was unwilling to put her in danger because of these letters, letting those with ulterior motives know of her existence, or even harm her...
"Smack!"
After hearing the whole story, Yang Bao slapped the table and looked at the calm Mo Yan, grinding his teeth angrily: "Yan girl, this is all Wang Dali and the others’ fault. Rest assured, Uncle Yang will not cover for them and will definitely give you an explanation."
This time, Yang Bao was truly furious. He had been the village chief for more than a decade. In the past, Liu Yang Village had only a dozen or so households, and the biggest dispute was usually over a missing chicken or a few less vegetables in someone’s garden. Nothing like the present, where it was either arson or falsely accusing people to extort silver, leaving him overwhelmed.
Not to mention that Mo Qingze was the only scholar in Liu Yang Village, but also the benefits the Mo Family had brought to Liu Yang Village over the past year naturally inclined Yang Bao to be somewhat biased in their favor. Especially since this time the trouble was all stirred up by Wang Dali and his group—there was even less chance he would let them off easily! He would use this incident to thoroughly rectify the village’s atmosphere. Otherwise, if others followed suit, where would that lead?
Upon hearing this, Mo Yan’s expression became even more gentle: "I do trust Uncle Yang. I’m just not sure how you will punish them, after all, they are also villagers of Liu Yang, our neighbors; I wouldn’t want things to be too awkward when we meet in the future."
These words were like pouring oil on fire. Hearing this, Yang Bao became even more irate: "If they truly considered themselves people of Liu Yang Village, they wouldn’t have come up with such a rotten idea to spoil our village’s atmosphere!"
Seeing Mo Yan looking embarrassed, he softened his tone to comfort her: "Yan girl, Uncle Yang knows you’re a kind-hearted good girl, but those people need to be taught a lesson. Otherwise, if such things keep happening, we’ll never have peace!"
