Chapter 2666 If you want revenge, come with me! (Part 2)
Madam Yu never expected that Yu Manli, that little vixen, would dare to bring people back after being kicked out. She sneered inwardly, "Don't blame me for this."
She didn't even look at Yu Manli, and said with great contempt, "You're just a woman sponsored by Mr. Yu. How could we possibly tell you about the Yu family's affairs?"
Wang Yue didn't want to go through that trouble. He observed the situation in the room and noticed that when Madam Yu spoke, she would occasionally glance at a bearded man on the side.
Wang Yuelai had already inquired beforehand and knew that this bearded man was supposedly a distant cousin of Madam Yu. This plot was all too familiar.
Wang Yue felt that the bearded man might be the current housekeeper, so he rushed towards him.
When the bearded man heard the commotion at the gatehouse, he immediately called over the guards, which is why he stood here with confidence.
Therefore, upon seeing Wang Yue's actions, the guards immediately surrounded and attacked him.
But they were too slow. Wang Yue did a front flip and flew over the guard's head, landing right next to the bearded man. He seized the opportunity and grabbed the bearded man.
"Release Master Pan!"
"Kid, let go!"
When those in the backyards saw that the bearded man had been arrested, they hesitated whether to rush forward. They could only shout a few words, which also indirectly proved Wang Yue's thoughts.
Wang Yue completely ignored her, and pulled the bearded man to Yu Manli's side as if no one else was there, then threw the bearded man to the ground.
The guards hired by Wang Yue knew their chance to shine had come, so they immediately rushed forward and pinned the bearded man down.
This was, of course, something that had already been explained beforehand. They would suppress whoever Wang Yue attacked; they were just doing their jobs for money.
Wang Yue pulled a dagger from his pocket and, as Gan Jingli had said, sliced off one of the bearded man's little fingers with a single stroke. Then he gave a cold snort and said...
"How dare you peep at my young lady! Tell me, how do you plan to die!"
The reason he gave was completely irrefutable; after all, the person was standing right in front of him, how could he say he didn't see them?
But if you get beaten up just for looking at someone, then why only hit him and not others? Does that mean he's the only one with a problem?
Sure enough, when Madam Yu saw this scene, she became so jealous that she lost all sense of propriety and started throwing a tantrum!
She rushed forward without a second thought, scratched the bearded man's face, and then angrily said, "You heartless bastard, how dare you look at other people behind my back! I'll scratch you to death!"
Yu Manli had previously thought Wang Yue's plan was a bit reckless, but seeing this scene, she suddenly found herself pleasantly surprised.
She knew her chance had come, and immediately said to an old man, "Old Yu, you are the master's butler, what exactly is going on?"
I think this bearded man is Mrs. Yu's man, so how could Mrs. Yu be Mr. Yu's wife?
Old Yu had been with Mr. Yu for many years. The reason he allowed Madam Yu to become powerful was twofold: firstly, he was just a servant, and secondly, Madam Yu claimed she was pregnant with Mr. Yu's child. He felt that as long as the family business was passed down to Mr. Yu's descendants, it didn't matter who the wife was. But now it seems that this woman was clearly in cahoots with someone else to swindle money.
So, Old Yu, displaying the authority he had held for so many years as a steward, roared and said, "Guards, seize those two and drown them in a pig cage!"
Upon hearing this, Madam Yu immediately exclaimed excitedly, "How dare you! My cousin is Constable Luo of the West City! If you dare to treat me like this, my cousin will definitely avenge me!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Yue sneered and said, "If I remember correctly, the constable surnamed Luo in the West City was the bandit who intercepted and killed Mr. Yu, wasn't he?"
It seems that not only did you kill someone, but you also wanted to seize the Yu family's wealth. You're clearly up to no good!
Madam Yu then realized that she seemed to have inadvertently told the truth, and she said angrily,
"I didn't! Don't talk nonsense! Don't wrong me! I am the legitimate Mrs. Yu!"
Wang Yue looked at Lao Yu and said solemnly, "Butler, now that things are clear, what are your thoughts?"
Butler Yu sighed, then said to Yu Manli, "Miss, you should still be in charge of this household. I'm old and senile, and I almost made Grandpa die with regrets!"
Yu Manli looked at Old Yu and said solemnly, "I heard that Shancheng is going to become the temporary headquarters. I am willing to donate the Yu family's property in exchange for them helping Grandpa avenge him. I wonder what the steward thinks?"
Old Yu originally thought Yu Manli was also after money, but after hearing Yu Manli's plan, he immediately realized he had misunderstood.
Deeply moved, he solemnly said, "Since Miss has such a kind heart, this old man is of course willing. I will go and contact Director Chen right away. They are here just when we need to establish our authority. Whether it's for money or reputation, they will stand up for you, sir!"
After everyone had discussed it, Lao Yu led his men to escort the two robbers to the General Administration Office.
Chen Cheng had just been assigned to Chongqing, the temporary capital, when he heard that a local gentry's steward was bringing in two robbers and was preparing to donate his property.
In fact, it was during this special period that Lao Yu made a huge show of things, which allowed him to see Chen Cheng. Otherwise, they would have been blocked and wouldn't have been able to see anyone at all. It would have been impossible for them to see Chen Cheng.
Of course, this was also arranged by Wang Yue on purpose, because the local officials would definitely not care, and only Chen Cheng, who had just been sent here, would be willing to take on this job.
After all, this place is being prepared to serve as the temporary capital, and the bald man is coming over soon. If he can't completely control Chongqing, then it would be a dereliction of duty on his part.
Chen Cheng felt this was an opportunity for the central government to gain a foothold locally, so he warmly received Lao Yu and solemnly promised to help him take revenge.
As a result, the bandits who had bought their official positions and officially transformed from robbers into officials were all exposed and arrested for interrogation.
In general, it's like pulling a carrot and bringing out the mud; after the three robbers were caught, a large number of officials who had protected them were also exposed, which led to a near-complete purge of Chongqing's officials.
After helping Mr. Yu avenge his family, Chen Cheng certainly couldn't take over the Yu family's entire assets. He only took 60% of the total assets on behalf of the government and handed over the Yu family's assets to them for safekeeping, so that they wouldn't have to make a living from them.
