Chapter 301: Interference
Chapter 301: Interference
Seeing how angry Gan Yanling was, Prime Minister Xu must have agreed to the matter with trembling hands. He eventually left and came outside with fine beads of sweat on his forehead.
He never imagined that his attempt to shift the blame to Gan Luo would end up making Gan Yanling so angry; it was simply...
Inside the Princess's residence, when Gan Luo learned of this matter, he found it utterly ridiculous. "Why would someone entrust this matter to me when I'm not an official involved in court intrigues? Don't you find it utterly laughable?"
Gan Luo was just a princess. It is said that women should not interfere in politics. If Gan Luo got involved in this matter, then she was interfering in politics.
She really didn't know how these people were thinking about these things, which Gan Luo found quite ironic.
"Your Highness, I share the same thoughts as you. I simply cannot understand how these people think about these things. All I know is that these people are just being delusional."
Gan Luo really thought, "Are these people out of their minds?"
Green Bamboo then walked up to Gan Luo and saw her smiling. For a moment, she was puzzled. "Your Highness, why are you here smiling? Has something happened?"
"I just encountered some rather amusing things. You don't need to think too much about it. I have something I want to tell you. I want to ask you to go and check on the situation at the newly constructed water conservancy project. In other words, are these ordinary people really unwilling to move away?"
Gan Luo was particularly eager to know how everyone was handling this matter.
Gan Luo then sent people to investigate thoroughly. Upon arriving at the place, the men carefully observed the situation and discovered that the officials were using force.
I never imagined they would actually beat and kick ordinary civilians right here. No wonder it caused resentment; it's clearly their own methods that were wrong.
"I never expected that they would actually beat and kick ordinary civilians here. It really makes me quite angry. Since they are beating and kicking this ordinary civilian, then don't blame me for being impolite to them."
After all, Gan Luo's patience had its limits. He then personally arrived at the scene, and the people around him were naturally shocked when they saw him. No one expected Gan Luo to come here. As soon as he arrived, he stared at them coldly.
Gan Luo walked directly to one of the soldiers, took the whip from his hand, and questioned him, "Is this how you negotiate peacefully with the common people? Who is using force here?"
Faced with Gan Luo's questioning, they were momentarily at a loss for how to answer him. Some people looked at Gan Luo, but quickly looked away.
The common people were surprised to see Gan Luo suddenly appear. "Isn't this the princess? It's not just rumors; they say she's cold-blooded and ruthless, even a mass murderer. Why is she helping us here?"
One of the men, a middle-aged man who appeared to be in his late forties, kept looking at Gan Luo and asking the man next to him questions.
However, they all felt that Gan Luo had a divine appearance, and Gan Luo was indeed extremely handsome.
"Let me tell you, we are all the same person. If you still want to use these whips to deal with them, don't blame me for being ruthless. And who exactly is the official in charge of this water conservancy project?"
They were all genuinely surprised that Gan Luo would come here. At this moment, their foreheads were covered in fine beads of sweat, and their hearts were pounding wildly, fearing that their heads and bodies would be separated if they stayed any longer.
They truly hadn't expected Gan Luo to come. At this moment, they were trembling with fear, and their eyes kept glancing at Gan Luo.
"What? Do I look like someone who would eat people? I want to tell you something that I hope you can understand: I don't deal with people casually unless you cross my bottom line. That's when I will deal with you."
If none of them crossed Gan Luo's bottom line, Gan Luo certainly wouldn't deal with them. But if they did cross Gan Luo's bottom line, then they shouldn't blame Gan Luo for being impolite.
Gan Luo stood there with an arrogant air, coldly staring at the guards below.
The guards below, seeing Gan Luo standing there, were suddenly quite frightened. They all retreated, afraid that Gan Luo would beat them up if they stayed any longer.
At this moment, the official in charge of this matter arrived. Upon arrival, he respectfully bowed to Gan Luo, who then inquired, "I wish to ask you, how exactly did you handle these matters?"
Upon hearing Gan Luo's words, the official was momentarily at a loss for how to respond.
Finally, the official told Gan Luo directly that she was unable to handle these matters, so she handed them all over to Prime Minister Gan Luo. Now, it was time to ask the Prime Minister.
Gan Luo never expected that they would be passing the buck to each other here. In the end, Gan Luo did not hesitate to bring Prime Minister Xu over.
Seeing Gan Luo's condescending attitude, Prime Minister Xu questioned Gan Luo.
"Your Highness, have you forgotten that you still have to call me Imperial Uncle? Is this the attitude you should have towards your Imperial Uncle?"
"If I don't want to call you Imperial Uncle, what can you do to me?"
As far as Gan Luo was concerned, he felt that Prime Minister Xu was not worthy of being called "Imperial Uncle" by him.
More importantly, looking at Prime Minister Xu's appearance, Gan Luo's eyes only held a trace of disgust.
He only hoped that Prime Minister Xu could get away from him as soon as possible.
