The torches were held in the middle of the night, brightly lit.
Everyone on the other side had been killed, so the news hadn't reached the City Lord's Mansion yet, and they were all quietly doing their own things.
"Surround the City Lord's Mansion. If anyone blocks their way, kill them without mercy!" Hua Ruge waved his hand, his voice was stern, his words powerful.
"Yes." The well-trained elite soldiers replied in unison. Then, half of the soldiers spread out in all directions with orderly steps. When they met the patrolling guards, they would unsheathe their swords, leaving behind blood-red lights all over the ground.
Now was the time to remove the tumor.
The City Lord's Mansion was located in a bustling street. The commoners were so scared that they seemed to scatter when they saw this scene. However, they quickly realized that these killing soldiers were not targeting them, so they surrounded them to test the waters.
"The remaining people, follow me in." Hua Ruge continued to give orders.
A group of soldiers split into two groups and walked up from both sides of Hua Ruge, directly smashing open the City Lord's Mansion's gate.
When the people inside heard the sounds coming from outside, they gathered in front of the door. When the door fell, they raised their heads and saw Hua Ruge standing in the middle, and were a little stunned.
At this time, they seemed to realize that their young master was different from before.
"Don't worry, I'm only here to investigate a few things. I'll cooperate well and guarantee your survival." Hua Ruge crossed the threshold and said with a smile, he looked like he was a close relative of the people.
"You're a villain who eats outsiders." Someone in the crowd suddenly spoke up.
Blood splattered as the sword flashed. The head that had been chopped off spun in circles on the ground.
The people in the area jumped far away while screaming.
Hua Ruge used two fingers to cover his ears, "Lower your voice, do you want me to talk properly?"
When these people saw the blood, how could they dare to disobey? They all shut their mouths, but their legs were still trembling.
"Your mental fortitude is too bad." Hua Ruge said in disdain, then turned to the janissary that had made his move: "And you, he's not wrong, how are you going to kill him."
The janissary was stunned. "Should I let him go?"
"Of course not, someone who disrespect me like ?" Hua Ruge swept his eyes across the group and laughed: "You should have just beaten me to death."
The crowd sucked in a breath of cold air. She still felt that this wasn't ruthless enough. This person looked good, so why was his heart so ruthless?
"Let's talk about it here." Hua Ruge pointed forward and ordered: "Search everything for me, do not let go of even a single stolen item. If you encounter anyone who does not cooperate, kill them!"
The people below were frightened, knowing that she was definitely not a good person.
"Bring all the masters, housekeepers, leaders, and the like to my front hall. I want to interrogate them." Hua Ruge said again.
As the elite soldiers rushed into the manor, Hua Ruge swaggered into the front hall.
The servants waited outside the hall, not daring to move.
The City Lord's Mansion was extremely restless, and everyone was in a state of panic.
Hua Ruge's face was also filled with unhappiness. "No matter what, I'm still too arrogant. If you don't even give me some tea, do you look down on me?"
The janissaries stepped back and pretended not to know her.
The butler quickly sent someone to serve tea.
"Out of the way!" Suddenly, a loud shout came out, followed by a fat figure split the crowd and walked into the hall, it was none other than Gao Meilan.
Her appearance caused Hua Ruge to jump: "Shouldn't you be following the shaft?"
Gao Meilan looked at the soldier beside her, and said: "I couldn't find you there, so I came back to look for you. Who exactly are you?"
At this moment, her face was filled with doubt. She couldn't understand how a laborer who worked hard to build a road could become such a big character.
"If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten." As Hua Ruge spoke, he flipped his hand and took out a medal from his spatial ring. He cleared his throat and said, "Let me formally get to know you.
"You ? You're not called Chujian? " Gao Meilan still had not recovered his wits for a while.
Hua Ruge shook his head: "That's not my name, it's my goal."
"The first time we meet, we're going to rob you?" Gao Meilan opened his small eyes wide, and said in disbelief: "You've been wanting to take action against my City Lord's Mansion for a long time?"
"At least you know your own limitations." Hua Ruge said as his face changed. He snapped, "Take him down!"
The janissaries' movements were extremely quick. Before she could use her soul technique, they caught her again, one on the left, one on the right, the other on the right. The knife was placed against her neck.
"But I truly do treat you with sincerity ?" Gao Meilan asked anxiously.
"Stop teasing me. A person like you who plays with emotions is qualified to talk about love. If this continues, tomorrow at noon, we will behead him in front of everyone in the city." Hua Ruge waved his hands in disgust.
This way, he would be able to vent his anger on the citizens of the entire city.
When the tea was served, Hua Ruge drank leisurely, waiting for the tea to come out.
After a while, the items were pushed into the front hall one after another. This person really didn't hide his wealth. There were a total of fifty large carriages full of gold and silver treasures.
There were also quite a number of medicinal pill magical equipment. These stolen goods were enough to be killed ten times over, to say nothing of others.
Hua Ruge felt that only killing them once was enough, so she walked around these treasures twice, and started to have crooked thoughts.
One after another, people were pushed into the lobby and knelt down in front of her, waiting for her to interrogate them.
Hua Ruge waited until everyone was present before saying: "I will only give you one chance, write down all the crimes that the City Lord committed, and each of you will have at least ten crimes, if not you can only give your City Lord a burial."
The elite soldiers handed out the paper and pen, while everyone else wrote on it while trembling.
"Accounts office, I want the corrupt accounts of your City Lord for all these years. Don't tell me you haven't, I'm not happy about that." Hua Ruge asked the old tent.
"However, the City Lord's affairs are mostly done by himself. This lowly one has very little control over it." The accountant said in fear.
"I don't care. I want evidence. Do you understand?" Hua Ruge stared at him and said slowly.
Hearing her words, the accountant nodded and said, "This little one understands, I'll explain it right away."
Hua Ruge nodded in satisfaction.
Whoever said that someone was killed must be the truth.
So what if those two rogues destroyed the real account book? She could create a fake one and achieve the same results.
In any case, the person was already dead. If he had the ability, he would find Hades and change the case.
She hummed to herself as she took a look at a seventh level mystical beast's crystal core from a pile of treasures. Then, she nodded in satisfaction and placed it in her own storage space under the watchful eyes of everyone.
The surrounding people were all shocked. They had seen corruption before, but they had never seen a person that was greedy for it so openly, yet still had a face that was not red and not breathing at all.
What kind of thick skin was this?
Hua Ruge's reaction was to keep looking. Another Rank 5 Spirit Tool, not bad, put it away.
Medicinal pills and the like could be given to Little Marten to eat, so she asked for a few and put them down in the end in disgust.
The quality is not good, don't eat diarrhea.
The high grade treasure that the mayor had gathered over half his life was actually rejected by her just like that.
In the end, she picked over ten high grade magic tools among them and took away over ten large boxes of gold coins. After adding up to more than ten million gold coins, she was finally satisfied.
This time, even the elite soldiers brought by her could no longer remain calm. They had seen greedy people before, but they had never seen someone who directly took away half of their family property.
This was simply too arrogant.
The servants had long finished writing their confessions, and were staring blankly at Hua Ruge, who had managed the property of their city lord for half his life, taking it away just like that.
"Finished." Hua Ruge seemed to have just realized this.
The servants nodded.
She read a few of them, and they were quite well written.
For example, the mayor stole someone's wife, bought something without paying, killed someone, persecuted the people in the city, and so on.
It wasn't clear if it was real or made up by these people, but in any case, since everyone had gathered ten, it was fine if they were to kill them a hundred times.
"Not bad, not bad." Hua Ruge nodded in satisfaction.
The accountant brought over a few dozen books. It was unknown if he checked them or not, but the corrupt accounts of the mayor were already half written.
"You have a bright future, take it back and write slowly." Hua Ruge patted the accountant's shoulder and encouraged him.
The accountant nodded and bowed in fear.
Hua Ruge yawned: "I'm too sleepy. Retreat, the City Lord's Mansion will continue to surround us, waiting for his orders."
She had found enough evidence and enough money. It was time to go back to bed.
When the people saw this, they all started to cheer and thank Hua Ruge for eliminating all the villains.
"A corrupt official should be executed ?" Hua Ruge had originally wanted to say a few words of righteousness, but she only said half a sentence before she yawned and said, "It's getting late, everyone should go back and wash up."
She really wasn't suitable for being too serious.
Because this was a city that hoarded grain, Tuoba Rui had to come here often, so he built a palace here, but it was much smaller than the one in the capital.
The servant helped Hua Ruge arrange a room, the moment she entered she threw herself onto the bed and hugged onto a blanket.
She frowned, as if something was wrong. Why was the blanket so hard?
Without waiting for her to think any further, a pair of large hands reached out from the blanket and pressed her down on the bed. The blanket wrapped around her with a flip of the blanket.
This movement was too fast, only then did Hua Ruge realize that he had snuck into someone's bed, and the master of the bed beside him was smiling at him.
Tuoba Rui was wearing a black inner garment, and her streamlined body was faintly discernible, making her look very attractive.
Hua Ruge remembered that his body was not soft at all.
She didn't know why she suddenly thought of this, but she was very curious.
"Do you want me to take it off for you to see?" The corner of Tuoba Rui's eyes raised as he smiled sinisterly.
Only then did Hua Ruge regain his senses, and he touched his ears which were already red, and said: "Sorry, I walked into the wrong room, I will go back now."
Tuoba Rui carried her by her waist and whispered in her ear, "Since you've come, why don't you look at this duke's figure before leaving?"
"Who cares about you? I've been tired all day, so I'm going back to sleep." Hua Ruge pushed his arm.
Tuoba Rui whispered into her ear: "What are you tired of, I'll press you down."
"Tuoba Rui, when did you learn to act like a hooligan!?" Hua Ruge asked with a darkened face.
"I didn't. I will when I see you." Tuoba Rui laughed evilly.
