Mu Qing spoke with great anxiety.

"Tell me the details slowly, don't panic, I'm here for you no matter what," Ye Qiu comforted him.

Mu Qing took a deep breath and calmed herself down before saying, "Minister Hou brought a large number of government officials and is preventing us from starting construction. I have no way to resolve this."

"Okay, I'll be right there. Hold them off." Ye Qiu hung up the phone, his expression cold.

It seems that Minister Hou is unaware that the Xuanyuan family and the Taixuan Sect were wiped out last night, and is still thinking about helping the Xuanyuan family.

I'm going out for a bit.

After saying goodbye to Hong Zhenzhen, Ye Qiu set off to leave.

...

At the construction site, Minister Hou brought hundreds of government officials, looking very aggressive.

After finishing her call, Mu Qing thought carefully for several minutes before walking up to Minister Hou and patiently saying, "Minister Hou, I know you are just doing your job, but Mr. Ye did buy this land legally and in accordance with the law, and it is also legal and in accordance with the law for him to build his mansion here."

"The words 'legal and compliant' sound rather strange coming from your mouth. I have never seen any of his application documents for building a house, so how can it be legal and compliant?" Minister Hou sneered.

"Minister Hou, you may have overlooked one point: those who have made great contributions and are awarded the title of king do not need to apply to anyone, as long as it is legal and compliant," Mu Qing reminded Minister Hou.

Minister Hou sneered, "Are you trying to say that Ye Qiu is the Peerless King? I don't care who he is, and don't try to use that identity to pressure me. I have ancient families and sects behind me. What did I say? It was just official business. Ye Qiu is not allowed to continue construction without the permission document. That's my rule."

"Alright, then you can talk to Mr. Ye later. He should be here soon."

Mu Qing said calmly.

Since she wouldn't listen to reason, Mu Qing was too lazy to say anything more.

Although Minister Hou wields considerable power, he is still a bit inexperienced compared to Ye Qiu.

Minister Hou probably doesn't know what the identities of the Peerless King and the Dragon Palace Master really mean.

"You little brat, the real deal hasn't even arrived yet, and you're already trying to threaten me like a dog. I think there's something very wrong with the background of your Xingcheng Construction Company. You should stop all your projects for now, and we'll investigate thoroughly before you continue your work."

Minister Hou said coldly.

Upon hearing this, Mu Qing's expression changed slightly.

If all of Xingcheng Construction's projects were to stop, even for just a few hours, the losses would be enormous, and the resulting public outcry would be unbearable for Xingcheng at present.

"Minister Hou, our Xingcheng is operating legally and in compliance with regulations. Aren't you going a bit too far?"

Mu Qing clenched her hands tightly.

"Are you questioning me?" Minister Hou sneered. "I now seriously suspect that you bribed Wushuang Wang, or that you have some shady relationship with Wushuang Wang. This is a serious breach of professional ethics. Guards, arrest her and take her back for investigation."

"yes."

Immediately, several constables from the government office stepped forward to arrest Mu Qing.

Mu Qing's face paled slightly, and she looked utterly helpless. She gritted her teeth and said, "Minister Hou, you are abusing your power."

"Tsk, so what? Going against me means certain death, and no one will be an exception."

"Your Xingcheng company is a third-rate little thing; in my eyes, it's as insignificant as an ant, something I could crush with a flick of my wrist."

Minister Hou dismissed it lightly, not taking Mu Qing seriously at all.

Mu Qing felt extremely resentful, but she really couldn't do anything about Minister Hou.

Just when Mu Qing thought she was about to be arrested before Ye Qiu arrived, Ye Qiu's voice suddenly came: "Let her go, I'll talk to you."

"Oh, the main character has arrived. Perfect timing. Let her go first."

Minister Hou signaled to his subordinates to release Mu Qing.

Mu Qing hurriedly ran to Ye Qiu's side, and her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

Ye Qiu slowly walked up to Minister Hou and said calmly with a faint smile, "Minister Hou, you're deliberately picking a fight with me. How about I give you double the benefits the Xuanyuan family has given you?"

"You're joking. There's no benefit to be gained. It's just a routine matter. By the way, you built a house without permission, which violates the laws of the Great Xia Dynasty. You'll be fined fifty million. Go and pay it when you have time. Don't even think about building a house here anymore. You won't get past me. If you don't want to sell this land, you can sell it to the Xuanyuan family. You can keep it for yourself."

Minister Hou smiled, looking confident of victory.

Ye Qiu couldn't stand Minister Hou's attitude: "If I can't get past you, I wonder if I can get past your department after I replace you."

"Hmm? Threatening me again? Don't think you're the only one with connections. Ye Qiu, you're being watched now. I advise you to keep a low profile and not make a fool of yourself." Minister Hou sneered.

"Who's targeting them? The Xuanyuan family?" Ye Qiu said disdainfully, "It seems Minister Hou isn't very astute in his grasp of the situation. Why don't you call and ask if the Xuanyuan family and the Taixuan Sect are still around? Do you want me to help you?"

"What do you mean?" Minister Hou frowned.

"I'll give you three minutes to make the call. If you don't want to make it, then I'm going to start taking action." Ye Qiu said calmly.

Minister Hou's eyes flickered uncertainly. After hesitating for a few seconds, he still chose to make the call.

A moment later, Minister Hou's voice rose: "What? They were... their entire clan was wiped out?"

"Yes...yes, according to Xuan Yuan Jingyun who escaped, Ye Qiu single-handedly wiped out the Xuan Yuan family, and the Taiyou Tai Xuan Sect was also annihilated. This matter has already begun to spread, but I haven't had time to tell you."

The person on the phone told Minister Hou the truth.
