Don’t Mess with the Tough Lady

Chapter 561: Thorough Investigation of the City Lord's Mansion

"You don't need to pretend to be pitiful to this palace. If you really can't bear it, you can explain the situation to the above and resign. There is a carrot and a pit in the officialdom. No one will keep you just because you are sick. Dashun The most important thing is talent."

When she broke this point, the city lord's expression was a bit bad.

"The old minister is guilty!"

Although he didn't want to admit it, he could not conceal the fact that he received the money from the gangsters.

This can only be regarded as greed at best, and it won't kill his family. Moreover, his number is not large. Thinking of this, the city lord was lucky enough to show a glance, and suddenly stared, the man who was next to the queen empress, his looks, this life will not forget...

This person is almost exactly the same as the former City Lord when he was young.

"who are you?"

Wu Zhuoqian didn't conceal any more when he came this time. The aura on his body did not abate at all. Seeing that the city lord noticed him, he smiled disdainfully.

"Are you not sure about yourself?"

The city owner’s heartbeat speeded up frantically. Is this man the son of the former city owner?

Back then, he competed with the former city lord, Wu Zhuoqian's father, for the seat of the city lord, but because he liked to drink and have fun on weekdays, even if he was only academically higher than his father, he was still not selected.

Seeing Father Wu being busy with city affairs every day, he couldn't help being jealous. So he conspired a major event, secretly murdered Father Wu, and became the city lord himself. The plan was exactly the same as he had imagined. Father Wu died very happy and did not block his way.

After gaining the reputation and position, he could no longer conceal his own inferiority, frantically making money among the people. Of course, at the beginning, his movements were very secret, so naturally he dared not do these things on the bright side.

Thinking of the past, sweat dripped directly on the city lord’s face. Seeing him like this, Du Xuechun naturally knew what was going on and couldn’t help laughing: “When I arrived at Shilicheng, I still said that the shopkeeper gave me a surprise. Look now, it's not as good as you."

"Come on, seal the City Lord's Mansion for me, thoroughly check all the accounts in the City Lord's Mansion, and control all these servants!"

Yun Yiwei directly took the token to urge people from the government to come. Although the city lord is in charge of the city, there are still officers and soldiers who want to maintain order.

These people usually only look at tokens, not acting as the master.

Soon, the City Lord's Mansion was heavily surrounded, and those officers and soldiers were responsible for binding these people together according to Du Xuechun's instructions, while Yun Yiwei moved all the ledgers out.

After receiving Du Xuechun's signal, Ying Niang stepped forward and checked quickly. Her joints are obvious, but she adds a touch of beauty, and she flips through the ledger very quickly.

The city lord was pulled down from the bed long ago and held in the yard. He kept shaking his head and watched his efforts being carried out little by little over the years.

Du Xuechun looked at these huge amounts of belongings and couldn't help saying: "You old fellow, there is really a lot of inventory. It just so happened that I was passing by a city that was very poor, so I could help them."

What's more, it means that these things are directly confiscated.

The city owner was already weak in his body, and soon couldn't stand this kind of sting, and he fainted.

And such a big movement could not be kept secret, the other family members of the city lord rushed over and were quickly controlled. They all looked confused and didn't know what happened.

After an hour passed, Ying Niang finally ordered the stolen money from the city lord.

"It's a lot."

The status of scholars, farmers, commerce, and merchants is always the last. Even if she and Xuan Che have tried their best to publicize not to look down on business people, some of the vices left by the ancestors are still communicated among the people.

There are still many people who naturally look down on these people who run around and feed on business.

There will also be many merchants who directly hand over their money when facing blackmail.

"All these properties are confiscated, some are transported to Shili City, and some are transported to the capital to be confiscated. As for the city lord, he is greedy and guilty of guilt. Aqian, it is up to you to rectify the Fa on the spot."

Wu Zhuoqian pulled out the sword from his waist and looked at the person in front of him with a heavy expression.

At the beginning, his youth was not stable, and he just gave him a sword and thought he had avenged his father, but he did not expect that this city lord had lived for so many years and became a moth of the country.

I thought that I was separated from Chun'er because he was anxious to find his enemy for revenge, and when he returned to the place where he met Chun'er, she and Granny Po had already changed places of residence.

He also had no direction to look for.

Wu Zhuoqian attacked mercilessly, and directly pierced the heart of the city lord with a sword. He now knew where to kill someone.

It will no longer be like before, killing a person, my heart is extremely nervous.

The family members of the city lord watched as their pillars were beheaded and killed in the eyes of everyone. Some of them couldn't stand the stabbing, and even cried out directly.

Du Xuechun said impatiently: "If you cry again, I will behead all of you."

As soon as they saw this woman ruthlessly ordering the killing of her city lord, this group of people certainly did not dare to doubt her. After all, she doesn't look like a kind-hearted person.

If Du Xuechun knew their thoughts, he would be very helpless.

She was also a little annoyed by these corrupt officials. These people don't treat the country's money as money, and all of them are involved in her own pocket. It is even more sinister to harm the people like the city lord of Star Picking City.

"These family members are all demoted to the common people. They are driven out, and they are not allowed to keep a penny." After all, it is the city lord who has done all the bad things. Du Xuechun did not choose to exile these people and go to a border even more remote than the capital to ask for money. Life, but let them linger in the Starcatch City.

Presumably, those common people who knew what the city lord did and knew that they were family members of the city lord would be very "good" to them.

"I won't go where, so I will withdraw the city lord from where?"

Du Xuechun ridiculed a little helplessly. Mingying smiled on the side and said, "Madam, the inn has been left in vain. The slaves will now let Du Qing return those rooms. Let's just rest at the City Lord's Mansion today."

After all, the environment in this mansion is pretty good, although it is not as good as the palace, but it is a good place to settle down when it comes to going out.

"Yes." She nodded, and after investigating so much, she was also a little tired.

"Mingying, you should find a room for me. It needs to be cleaner. I'm tired."

So the group of people settled down like this. No matter how tired, Du Xuechun did not forget to ask Wu Zhuoqian, that is, bringing the officers and soldiers to strangle all the bandits.

This group of people do all the bad things on weekdays, so naturally they don't have to show any affection!
