Xu Qianting continued, "Even if the emperor preserves Zhou Chenyang's position as city lord, he has already been ruined in the hearts of the people of Yucheng for doing such a thing."

“From now on, it will probably be more difficult to implement the decrees he issues in Chongqing.”

Lin Xiuyan said calmly, "People are forgetful. Find someone with good writing skills and have this story written down."

"Then find a few storytellers and have them tell this story in Chongqing whenever they have free time."

Xu Qianting's eyes lit up immediately: "That's a great idea!"

Lin Xiuyan smiled. Since she and Zhou Chenyang had a deep-seated grudge, a feud that was either him or her, she certainly wouldn't be polite to him.

Even if she can't remove Zhou Chenyang from his position as city lord, she'll still disgust him to death.

Zhou Chenyang had already been carried back to the city lord's mansion by his subordinates.

When he was carried back, he reeked of a stench that could make anyone vomit.

Jiang Xinrou was initially delighted when she heard that Zhou Chenyang had officially become the city lord of Yucheng and the deputy governor of Liefeng Prefecture.

But when she saw Zhou Chenyang's miserable state after he was carried back, and learned what he had done to make himself look so disgusting, she was shocked.

She couldn't help but vomit.

If it weren't for his power, she would have divorced Zhou Chenyang!

Hongxiu was sobbing there, calling for people to wash Zhou Chenyang's body.

He was badly beaten by Lin Xiuyan today. Not only were several bones broken, but there was also no undamaged skin on his body. He looked terrible.

The problem is that even in this state, he's still rubbing against the bed.

The doctor had already been invited over. After examining him, prescribing the medicine, and explaining the precautions, he prepared to leave.

Ye Jingxian called the doctor over and asked, "What's wrong with Lord Zhou?"

The doctor answered truthfully: "He has two broken ribs, but fortunately they didn't pierce his lungs. His arm bone, which had just started to heal, also broke."

"In addition, his coccyx was broken, he lost three teeth, and his head suffered considerable trauma."

"Leaving aside his other external injuries, he was also given an extremely potent aphrodisiac."

"The medicine is not very strong. Although it won't kill you, if you overuse it this time, you'll probably be unable to perform in that area in the future."

He thought Zhou Chenyang had failed in his scheme against Lin Xiuyan and had been tricked by her.

I never expected her to be so ruthless!

He waved for the doctor to leave, then turned to his trusted aide, Guanchao, and asked, "I asked you to investigate Lin Xiuyan before, have you heard anything yet?"

After being humiliated by Ye Qingwan at the Lin residence that day, he immediately ordered people to investigate Lin Xiuyan and the Lin family.

Guan Chao replied, "It has been investigated. The Lin family is the richest family in Chongqing, mainly engaged in the business of medicinal herbs, and also involved in silk and rice shops."

"Lin Xiuyan is the only daughter of the Lin family, and a notorious playboy in Chongqing..." M.cascoo.net

He recounted everything that had happened between Lin Xiuyan and Zhou Chenyang during this period.

Ye Jingxian frowned slightly: "How dare a mere businesswoman be so arrogant?"

Guanchao replied, "It's probably because she has the support of the Crown Prince. Now the Crown Prince and the Princess both live in the Lin residence and have a very close relationship with the Lin family."

Ye Jingxian recalled the scene when he first met Lin Xiuyan, and he felt somewhat unhappy.

Lin Xiuyan may look like an ordinary businesswoman, but she is far from being an ordinary businesswoman.

After all, no merchant woman could fiercely withstand the attack of hundreds of regular soldiers.

He asked in a cold voice, "Before this, does Lin Xiuyan have any other achievements to speak of?"

“Quite a few,” Guanchao replied. “She’s loved fighting since she was little; she’s the queen of the kids in Chongqing.”

"To put it bluntly, there are very few children in Chongqing of her age who haven't been beaten by her."

Night View Leisure: "..."

She's a total thug!

Guanchao continued, "The reason she can keep causing trouble and still survive is because the Lin family is rich, and Lin Yunzhi dotes on her extremely."

Hearing this, Ye Jingxian felt relieved: "So he's just a spoiled brat."

In his view, such people have no other skills besides fighting and causing trouble.

As for the fact that the Lin family was able to withstand the soldiers' attack, it was probably related to Ye Qingwan.

He recalled the times Ye Qingwan had disciplined him since he was a child, and his hands clenched into fists. He couldn't let Ye Qingwan live anymore!

If she were alive, she would definitely be a huge help to Ye Junfei!

As for how to kill Ye Qingwan, this matter requires careful planning and cannot be rushed.

Guanchao asked, "Zhou Chenyang's injuries are quite severe. Should we invite Doctor Yan over?"

Ye Jingxian's tone was extremely cold: "Have you invite Doctor Yan for him? Does he deserve it?"

Guanchao lowered his head and said, "This subordinate thought that the young master had moved into the city lord's mansion so that he would do something, but now that thing hasn't been done yet..."

“He is no longer of any use to me.” Ye Jingxian said calmly, “Once he becomes the official city lord of Yucheng, he will be an enemy of the Pingnan Prince’s Mansion.”

"He's no longer worth my time."

Guanchao hurriedly replied, "Your subordinate understands."

Ye Jingxian, as the successor painstakingly groomed by the Prince of Pingnan, is not lacking in methods.

He never intended to cooperate with Zhou Chenyang; he only wanted to use Zhou Chenyang to help him deal with Lin Xiuyan.

Now that the imperial decree appointing Zhou Chenyang as the official city lord of Yucheng has arrived, he must carry out the orders of the Prince of Pingnan:

Investigate the notorious thief's nighttime incursion into Chongqing.

The Lin residence was filled with joy at this moment.

Lin Xiuyan looked at the Lin residence decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, feeling somewhat puzzled.

She grabbed a servant and asked, "What's going on in the mansion?"

The servant replied with a smile, "Master said that to celebrate Zhou Chenyang sleeping with a pig, everyone in the Lin family will receive a roast suckling pig tonight."

Lin Xiuyan: "..."

She was a little confused by Lin Yunzhi's thinking, so she asked him, "Zhou Chenyang slept with a pig, so why are you treating everyone to roast suckling pig?"

Lin Yunzhi replied, "What if he did that kind of thing with the sow and gave birth to piglets?"

We'll eat him until he's childless and has no descendants!

Lin Xiuyan: "..."

Actually, she often couldn't understand her father's thought process. Was he trying to mobilize the whole city to eat Zhou Chenyang's "son"?

When the fragrant roast suckling pig was served, she couldn't eat it because she thought it might be Zhou Chenyang's "son".

Lin Yunzhi took a knife and cut off a large piece for her, saying, "He wants to have a child with her, so we can't eat people."

"But he has to have babies with pigs, so I don't feel any pressure eating them."

Lin Xiuyan reminded him, "Dad, he only did *that* today. Even if he wanted to have a son, it wouldn't be that fast, would it?"

Lin Yunzhi smiled and said, "It's alright, your father has plenty of money. From now on, I'll buy out all the pigs in Chongqing and treat all the people of Chongqing to a feast!"

Lin Xiuyan: "..."
