This Matter Is Mine to Handle

Qin Sanniang focused her gaze and saw a very handsome young man. His entire demeanor was noble, even his posture while pinning Zhang Zhuzi down to beat him carried a hint of aristocracy.

But Qin Sanniang was certain she had never seen this handsome young man at Su Li's house before, and she had no idea who he was.

Qin Sanniang didn't recognize him, but Zhang Zhuzi, taking advantage of being beaten, looked up at the man and cried out, his whole body shrinking in fear: "Oh, Young Master, spare me! I beg you, have mercy!"

Li Yanhao spat and punched him, saying, "Weren't you just acting all high and mighty? So what if you're a village chief? Calling us rebellious peasants and bragging about being an official. I think you're the real troublemaker! Today, I'm going to beat you up. What are you going to do? Go to the government and have some low-level official arrest me?"

Qin Sanniang heard this and thought, Young Master? Could this be the Huainan Prince's heir she had heard was staying at Su Li's house?

Qin Sanniang panicked. Since marrying into Haizi Village, she had never seen this Young Master appear. Even during several feasts at Su Li's house, she hadn't seen the Huainan Prince's heir. So the villagers had long assumed he had left, but who knew he was still living there.

Li Yanhao held a very high status, a royal relative, and was a cousin to the current Crown Prince.

Zhang Zhuzi was just a mere village chief, not even worthy of Li Yanhao's notice!

Qin Sanniang, after being slapped by Su Li, didn't dare make a sound. She immediately knelt to the ground, her legs weak, and hurriedly slapped herself, saying, "Oh, it was my fault. I didn't recognize a great man and offended the Young Master. Please spare me!"

Li Yanhao was happily beating Zhang Zhuzi and paid no attention to Qin Sanniang at all.

Li Yanhao was very supportive of the school project. He had even personally drawn a portrait for Su Li.

So when he heard Zhang Zhuzi arrogantly boasting about shutting down the school and seizing its property, he was so angry his head was about to explode. When Su Li gave the signal, Li Yanhao eagerly jumped out and gave Zhang Zhuzi a severe beating to vent his anger.

Many villagers had seen Li Yanhao before. They had been very frustrated and helpless against Zhang Zhuzi. Suddenly, a noble Young Master appeared to stand up for them, and the villagers cheered and applauded loudly.

Thus, the scene on stage instantly shifted from Zhang Zhuzi's official debut to a live version of him being brutally beaten, mixed with cheers from countless villagers and students' parents.

Zhang Zhuzi getting beaten was simply a sight everyone enjoyed!

Li Yanhao kept beating until his hand went numb, then stopped and spat angrily: "Go and find out which corrupt official appointed a scoundrel like Zhang Zhuzi as village chief! This is blatant favoritism and lawlessness. I'll take care of this matter personally!"

Li Yanhao snatched the village chief appointment document from Zhang Zhuzi's hands, tore it to pieces, and threw it in his face.

Zhang Zhuzi lay on the ground, bruised and battered, reaching out to grab the torn document, crying out, "You can't tear it up! I'm the village chief! I'm the village chief!"

Li Yanhao snorted coldly and stood on stage, proclaiming, "I am Li Yanhao, the Huainan Prince's heir and a friend of Director Su Li. This Haizi Academy is under my protection. Anyone who dares to say the school shouldn't open will lose their life to me!"
