C298 Liquidation of the Tang Family in Northern Chu
Mu Chen naturally saw the reaction of the Tang Family, Mu Haochen, and the others.
However, Mu Chen remained calm and collected.
After all, after he, the commander in chief, appeared, there was still the process that the Chubei City had to arrange for him to leave.
Although the people of the Tang Family, Mu Haocheng, and the others had lost control of themselves, causing flaws to appear in this welcoming banquet, and the Chief Patrol Officer was extremely dissatisfied, in this sort of public and formal occasion, it was not good for him to publicly criticize them.
He could only pretend that nothing had happened and continue hosting the welcoming banquet.
"Guests, I believe in the reputation of the Grand Commander-in-Chief. Everyone must have heard of it. After all, he is an existence that can support the heavens and the earth in the entire Grand Xia! If it weren't for the Grand Commander-in-Chief, the current Grand Xia would probably have been ravaged by the iron hooves of more than forty empires. It would be a tragic sight to behold! That's why, everyone can sit here today and gather here.
The moment the Patrol Officer finished speaking, the whole audience burst into applause.
After the applause had stopped, he continued: "Now that the people of the country are safe, the commander in chief has been appointed by the heavens to take over the position of deputy head of our Chubei, to step into the leading ranks of our Chubei, he is truly the pride of our Chubei!"
"I believe that under the leadership of the great general, the Chubei will definitely rise day by day!"
Mu Chen had come to Chubei only as a deputy head, but in reality, he did not participate in any government affairs in Chubei.
However, the Chief Patrol Officer took the ceremony very seriously, making it seem as if a minister had arrived.
With Mu Chen's status as the commander in chief, there was no other way around it. Even if Mu Chen did nothing, all the leaders of Chubei would still pay tribute to him.
"Welcome, Grand Commander-in-Chief!"
Below the stage, there was another round of enthusiastic applause.
When he had finally finished his introduction, the patrolman continued in a high-pitched tone, "We welcome the commander in chief to give us a speech!"
"I am indebted to all of you for your kindness. I hold the position of Chubei and hold the position of deputy. I am only recuperating during times of war and will not participate in any government affairs in the Chubei!"
After Mu Chen expressed his stance, both the Governor and the Chief Patrol Officer heaved a sigh of relief.
"However, if the Chubei officials commit an act that violates the laws and discipline of the country, I will definitely not sit idly by and do nothing!" Mu Chen added another sentence.
"Of course!" The Chief Patrol Officer hastily echoed, "Those who are corrupt officials deserve to be killed!"
"Although today's banquet is held to welcome me, no one needs to be cautious. Don't be afraid of my existence. Just treat it as your social gathering!"
Mu Chen smiled and said, "But before the welcoming banquet, I still have some personal matters to take care of!"
The Governor and the Patrol Officer were both puzzled, wondering what the commander in chief was up to.
As for Tang Beishan, Mu Haochen, and the others, their faces were ashen.
They knew in their hearts that the time for reckoning had come.
Sure enough, at this time, Mu Chen's voice sounded out, "Tang Beishan, Young Master Tang, Tang Yanran, Mu Haochen, have you come today?"
Mu Chen's words were like the voice of hell, causing those who read the name to be dumbstruck.
"Hmm?" Seeing that Tang Beishan and the others didn't say anything, Mu Chen said, "I only ask once."
"Those who have come, stand on the stage!"
"Come... It's here! " Tang Beishan was the first to react and crawled up with great difficulty.
He staggered towards the stage.
After them was Young Master Tang and Tang Yanran.2
Because he was too nervous, he even fell down when Tang Beishan was climbing onto the stage steps, making things difficult for Tang Yanran and Young Master Tang.
Mu Haochen looked as if he had collapsed, and his steps were weak.
After stepping onto the stage, his entire face was covered in sweat.
His back was completely soaked.
"Tang Beishan, Tang Yanran, Young Master Tang, and the Tang Family are all here!" "Tang Yanran, when I saved grandfather's life that day, I have already made it clear that there is no need for your Tang Family to report back. However, you have provoked me time and time again, and you have even slapped me in front of everyone at Chubei International Airport.
When Mu Chen said this, the entire crowd burst into an uproar.
Is this woman crazy?
How dare he slap the Grand Commander-in-Chief in front of so many people?
Tang Yanran's beautiful face instantly paled. When she thought that her future had been ruined and she no longer had the possibility of marrying the Grand Commander-in-Chief, her feet couldn't help but go soft and she directly knelt down. "Grand Commander-in-Chief, I was wrong!"
After saying that, he kowtowed to Mu Chen with all his might, and even his forehead started bleeding.
Then, Mu Chen walked in front of Master Tang.
"Generalissimo, spare me!" Thinking about what he had done before, Master Tang did not wait for Mu Chen to speak and kneeled down, "I did not mean to offend the Lord Commander. If I had known the Lord Commander's identity, even if I had a hundred guts, I would not have dared to deal with you!"
"According to what you said, if I wasn't the commander in chief today and was just an ordinary person, would I end up in a miserable state if I infuriated your two arrogant and despotic foreign friends?" Mu Chen sneered and shook his head, "So, you still haven't realized your mistake!"
"Huh?" Master Tang was Tang Beishan's grandson after all, so he quickly kowtowed and said, "Commander, I was wrong. I understand now, in our Da Xia Empire, only the Da Xia Empire citizens are superior!" What foreign lord, in our Da Xia Empire, you are not allowed to enjoy treatment that is higher than any of our Da Xia citizens! "
"This little one will no longer admire foreigners!"
"At least you're sensible!" Mu Chen nodded.
Then, he walked in front of Tang Beishan.
Tang Beishan held a handkerchief in his hand as he wiped the sweat off his forehead.
"Commander!" Tang Beishan was old, and this was the first time he felt this uneasy.
"Tang Beishan, I saved your life, how did you treat me?" Mu Chen said indifferently.
"I, I, I …" When he thought about what he had done to Mu Chen, Tang Beishan's tongue immediately tied up. He no longer had the aura of someone who was usually the wealthiest in the Chubei.
"As the wealthiest person in the Chubei, not only are you not thinking about how to seek for the well-being of the citizens of the Chubei, instead, you are using your own economic resources to viciously suppress your competitors, causing malicious competition. Your Tang Family's actions already constituted an offence of disrupting the market economy!"
Mu Chen glanced at Tang Beishan and said sternly: "I feel that your Tang Clan no longer needs the Chubei of a deer chaser anymore!"
"Do you want to retreat obediently, or do you want me to use forced methods to send you home?"
When Mu Chen said this, Tang Beishan secretly let out a sigh of relief.
At the very least, the Tang Clan's members could be considered to have survived.
Tang Beishan acted as if a heavy burden had been lifted off of him, and respectfully replied: "Reporting to the great commander, from today onwards, the Tang Clan will withdraw from Chubei Business!"
"En!" Mu Chen nodded and walked towards Mu Haochen.
