Chapter 324 Panic
When Bai Jinzhi saw her elder sister turning around and signaling to her, she narrowed her eyes, grabbed the servant’s wrist neatly, raised her leg and kicked the servant to his knees.
Without waiting for the other Bai family servants guarding the door to react, Bai Jinzhi had already pulled out the long whip from behind his waist and rushed into Tianxiang Tower with his guards.
The heart-wrenching screams coming from Tianxiang Tower attracted passers-by, who stopped and stretched their necks to look inside.
Not long after, the Bai family servants and the young masters of the Bai family who had come to Tianxiang Tower to force their way in were thrown out of Tianxiang Tower one by one, with whip marks all over their bodies and faces.
The clan leader’s grandson Bai Qingjie struggled to stand up, looked at Bai Jinzhi who stepped out of Tianxiang Tower with a long whip in his hand, and shouted: “Are you so bold that you dare to attack us! Do you know who I am?! I am the grandson of the Bai clan leader! If you dare to hit me… Do you believe that I can’t let you leave Shuoyang City?!”
Bai Jinzhi’s eyes were cold. He raised his hand and lashed out with a whip, which hit Bai Qingjie’s mouth hard. A bloody mark appeared instantly. Bai Qingjie’s mouth was full of a strong smell of blood. He covered half of his face and felt his teeth become loose.
“I’ll whip you for your arrogance and disregard for the law. You’re just the grandson of a clan leader, yet you dare to threaten to take someone’s life!”
“Damn it…” Bai Qingjie spat out a mouthful of blood foam, “Do you know that behind our Bai family is the Princess who guards the country! She is the prince’s beloved and the future queen!”
Bai Jinzhi whipped Bai Qingjie again, this time even harder and harder, causing him to fall to the ground. “I’m going to whip you for using the power of the Bai family in the capital to bully the common people!”
After saying this, Bai Jinzhi didn’t wait for Bai Qingjie to get up. He whipped Bai Qingjie again and made him lie prone on the ground. “I whip you for being blind. You dare to talk shit in front of my elder sister and tarnish the relationship between my prince and my elder sister!”
The onlookers were all dumbfounded. The Bai family has always been tyrannical and lawless in Shuoyang City. Where did this god come from that dared to whip the Bai family!
Although they were surprised, the people were secretly cheering in their hearts.
Bai Qing was so angry that his eyes were about to burst: “Today, whoever can catch these people will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver!”
“You come and try!” Bai Jin was trembling with childishness, and he lashed the whip in anger, making a crisp sound that broke through the air, which was awe-inspiring.
The other young masters who came with the clan leader’s grandson Bai Qingjie and forced the owner of Tianxiang Tower to give Tianxiang Tower to them for free, saw that something was not right and looked at the woman who was standing with her back straight just below the plaque of Tianxiang Tower… and was protected in the middle by the guards and the whip-wielding girl.
The woman stood with her hands behind her back, wearing a very simple and neat white riding outfit. Her facial features were stunning, but her eyes were as deep and calm as the windless sea. Wherever her sight reached, people felt inexplicably nervous and had a strong sense of authority.
Bai Qingyan clenched his fists behind him, and his voice was so cold that it made people’s backs cold: “The Bai clan, in Shuoyang, has been relying on the power of the Bai family to do evil things…”
Some of the young masters of the Bai family reacted and looked at Bai Qingyan with wide eyes.
“You have lawlessly robbed women, killed innocent people, seized other people’s ancestral property, colluded with the government to seize other people’s ancestral secret medicine formulas, and forcibly bought shops at low prices…but you treat your employees badly and forced the shopkeeper to death! You used the power of the Bai family in the capital to suppress the government, leaving the people with nowhere to seek justice. Your crimes are too numerous to list! Now you are even using the power of the crown prince to justify your evil deeds!”
“My grandfather, State Zhenguo Bai Weiting, loved the people like his own children, fought for them and sacrificed his life for them, and taught us, the descendants of the Bai family… Since we are supported by the taxes levied by the people of the world, we must treat the people as our own flesh and blood and sacrifice ourselves to protect them! The sons of the Bai family in the State Zhenguo Palace fought and died on the battlefield to protect the people, but you… actually used my grandfather’s power to bully and kill the people at will!”
After hearing these words, the people watching here still can’t figure out the identity of the person in front of them?
The owner of Tianxiang Tower, who was hiding in Tianxiang Tower and trembling with his young son in his arms, couldn’t help but know that the reason why the Shuoyang Bai family was so arrogant was because there was a princess who was favored by the prince behind them!
Now that the Princess Zhenguo came in person and took action to deal with the Bai family, their family escaped this disaster. The owner of Tianxiang Tower didn’t care whether the Princess Zhenguo was here to play a trick or really didn’t know anything about what the Bai family had done before. But since the Princess Zhenguo chose to take action against the sons of the Bai family in their Tianxiang Tower, he would make this drama known to everyone today, and maybe he could save their Tianxiang Tower.
The owner of Tianxiang Tower came out without saying a word, and kowtowed to Bai Qingyan with tears in his eyes.
“My Lord, please help me! The Bai family has colluded with the government, making it impossible for us merchants to survive! Today, they even kidnapped my youngest son and said that if I don’t give them Tianxiang Tower for free, they will chop off my youngest son’s hand!”
The owner of Tianxiang Tower hugged the crying child in his arms and cried bitterly.
“Fifth brother!” The Bai family clan member hurriedly helped Bai Qingjie up, not daring to raise his head, and said in a low voice, “That is the state princess Bai Qingyan!”
Bai Qingjie, with blood all over his mouth, was stunned and looked at Bai Qingyan with fear.
Bai Qingyan glanced at the clan members and said in a cold voice, “Little Four, help the owner of Tianxiang Tower and send someone to invite Magistrate Zhou over. If Magistrate Zhou cannot handle the matter impartially today, the prince… I will report him for favoritism, dereliction of duty, and corruption!”
When County Magistrate Zhou learned that Bai Qingyan had entered the city, he immediately packed up all the case files and documents and rushed to the VIP Inn. But halfway there, he heard that Bai Qingyan had come to Tianxiang Tower…
So he immediately asked someone to turn the sedan chair around and head to Tianxiang Tower.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived, he saw Bai Jinzhi whipping the dandy young men of the Bai clan. When he heard Princess Zhenguo calling him, County Magistrate Zhou was immediately glad that he had sorted out the files in time.
County Magistrate Zhou quickly took the file from his subordinates and, under the escort of the yamen runners, hurriedly squeezed into the crowd of onlookers, shouting, “Princess! Princess… Your humble official is here! Your humble official is here!”
County Magistrate Zhou, who squeezed out of the crowd with the files in his arms, adjusted his official hat which was pushed askew on his head and saluted to Bai Qingyan: “Your humble servant greets the princess!”
“Mr. Zhou…” Bai Qingyan’s eyes fell on Mr. Zhou, and his voice was calm. “I just arrived in Shuoyang yesterday. I only visited for half a day today, but I heard from the people that many members of the Bai family have committed heinous crimes over the years! As a parent official, have you been completely blind and ignorant over the years? Have you ever made decisions for the people?”
“I am terrified!”
