Chapter 397 Succession to the Young City Lord

Even the calm Su Hanchu was surprised by this enthusiastic attitude.

"Miss Ruan, we have a large family. Living together can easily lead to some problems. It's better for us to live separately."

After hearing this, Ruan Yanluo tilted her head and looked at Su Hanchu cutely.

"Sister is right. I'll have someone choose a location close to the City Lord's Mansion and build a large house for Mother and the others to live in."

Su Hanchu couldn't help but twitch his lips when he heard this. Is it so easy to say? Is this really going to make it so difficult for him to find a reason to refuse?

"It's okay, don't worry, I'll arrange for someone to do it. Miss Ruan, you just had a shock, you should rest for a few days first."

Ruan Yanluo pursed her lips and looked at Su Hanchu after hearing this.

"Sister, you should call me Lolo."

After hearing this, Su Hanchu had no choice but to speak.

"Okay, okay, Lolo."

Then he and Jun Moye stood up and looked at Ruan Yifeng.

"City Lord Ruan, we will go back today. We still have many things to take care of at home."

Ruan Yifeng stood up and said after hearing this.

"I'll see you off."

Ruan Yanluo stood up and took Su Hanchu's arm with a friendly look on his face.

"Sister, I will have the best courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion tidied up and filled with your favorite furniture and decorations, waiting for you and your husband to move in. I know you and your husband must have a lot of things to do and won't live in the City Lord's Mansion forever, but the City Lord's Mansion will also be your home in the future, and you and your husband will also be the masters here. When you're done, come back to see me and father."

The two finally said goodbye to Ruan Yanluo and his daughter.

Sitting in the carriage.

Su Hanchu leaned into Jun Moye's arms.

"This Ruan Yanluo is really very enthusiastic."

Jun Moye put his arm around her and reminded her.

"Don't be fooled by her innocent appearance. How innocent can someone who dares to go on stage and fight the King of Yan be?"

After hearing this, Su Hanchu leaned in his arms and spoke slowly.

"How could I not understand? I guess this father and daughter chose me to be the Young City Lord because they have some ulterior motive. Let's take it one step at a time. At least with the title of Young City Lord, we can do a lot more. The most important thing right now is to establish some order. This place is really too chaotic."

Jun Moye nodded.

"After we return, see if you have received any books. I remember there are some books on law in the storehouse of the Qin Palace. We can refer to them and establish a legal order based on the actual situation here."

City Lord's Mansion.

In the study.

Ruan Yanluo had now restrained her playful look.

"Father, it seems that everything is basically settled now."

Ruan Yifeng looked at Ruan Yanluo with a curious expression.

"Lolo, even though it's been agreed, do you really want Madam Jun to take your place as the eldest daughter? You know, you are the only eldest daughter of the Ruan family."

When Ruan Yanluo heard this, the image of Su Hanchu saving her flashed through her mind.

"Father, if it weren't for Madam Jun, I would have been ruined by King Yan. He might even use this as an excuse to attack our Black Armor Army. But please rest assured, father, I understand the importance of this matter. I thank Madam Jun and will give her the title of the eldest daughter of the Ruan family. However, whether they can take over the Black Armor Army depends on their abilities. Next, let's see if they can truly bring order to Baise City."

Ruan Yifeng nodded after hearing this.

"Then let's watch it first. I have put a lot of effort into supporting the Black Armor Army over the years."

Your house.

After Su Hanchu and Jun Moye came back, they kept reading books, copying down important laws from time to time.

It was not until dark that Ping'er came to remind them.

"Sir, Madam, dinner is ready. Do you want to wait a little longer or serve it now?"

The two of them then realized that it was dark. Jun Moye put down the book and spoke.

"Let's go, let's have dinner first. These laws are mostly used in countries that have already stabilized. With Bai Se in this situation, I'm afraid we need to take some action first. Only then can we use these laws."

Su Hanchu also put down the pen in his hand and looked at the thick records.

"I'm a little hungry, let's go and eat first."

Soon the two had dinner in the hall and walked hand in hand in the yard to digest the food.

Jun Moye held Su Hanchu's hand and walked slowly.

"If we want Baise City to become as stable as Tianyuan City and the people to live a peaceful life, we must first solve the problem of bandits. As long as bandits exist, the people will be filled with fear."

Su Hanchu nodded after hearing this.

"Secondly, it's the people's survival. I've been out on the streets over the past few days and I can see how poorly the people here live. Most of them are pale and thin, there are very few women, and the children look malnourished."

Suddenly, Jun Moye stopped and looked at Su Hanchu with a smile on his face.

"Madam, regarding the bandit problem, we can't possibly kill all of them. After all, there are so many of them. Although City Lord Ruan has allowed us to mobilize the Black Armored Army, we still need to discuss how much the Black Armored Army will obey our orders. Moreover, if the bandits outside Baise City can be easily wiped out, they won't wait for us to deal with them.

Previously, Tianxing Camp had been recruiting Tianxing soldiers. Firstly, we were recruiting within the boundaries of Tianyuan and Baise City, and secondly, the name "Tianxing Camp" wasn't enough. If you, Madam, recruited those bandits in your capacity as the Young Lord of Baise City, the effect would surely be extraordinary. This way, we would not only solve the problem of bandits blocking entry to Baise City, but also address our lack of troops."

Su Hanchu's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"It seems that this recognition ceremony should be carried out as soon as possible. The identity of the Young Lord of Baise City will provide us with many conveniences."

Jun Moye continued to speak.

"To boost the development of Baise City, besides the bandit problem, we also need to solve another issue: the twenty-liang entrance fee. How many people have been stopped outside Baise City by this high fee? It also stops merchants from various countries who are trying to do business."

Su Hanchu listened and spoke thoughtfully.

"This should be abolished, but not completely. After all, according to past practice, those who come here are all criminals, with only a very small number being forced into this place. Therefore, we should waive the entry fee for ordinary people and merchants. However, criminals entering Baise City should be subject to appropriate penalties, such as three to five years of hard labor and rest based on their crimes."

Jun Moye nodded in agreement after hearing this.

"Madam, what you said is absolutely right. We can write down the future changes in Baise City and have them copy hundreds of copies. We can then use the opportunity to announce it on the day of the family reunion banquet and have everyone in Baise City abide by it."

Ten days later.

Baise City welcomed the largest buffet banquet in its history.

In addition to the City Lord's Mansion which was filled with guests, the streets of Baise City were also filled with tables. In order to celebrate the recovery of his eldest daughter who had been missing for many years, City Lord Ruan invited the people of the entire Baise City to a buffet.

At the lively banquet.

All the important figures in Baise City have taken their seats, including some prestigious soldiers of the Black Armor Army.

Ruan Yifeng came with Su Hanchu, Jun Moye and Ruan Yanluo.

He looked at the crowd and bowed.

"Everyone, during these years in Baise City, I, Ruan Yifeng, have been able to maintain my position as the City Lord thanks to your care. Today, I have gathered you all here because I have a great announcement to make. As you all know, I, Ruan Yifeng, brought a daughter to Baise City fifteen years ago to settle down. However, you may not know that in addition to my daughter, Ruan Yanluo, I actually have an older daughter who lives away from home.

My eldest daughter, Su Hanchu, has recently returned home. This City Lord hereby announces that Su Hanchu is now the eldest daughter of the Ruan family and will inherit the position of Young City Lord. From now on, throughout Baise City, her words are mine, Ruan Yifeng's. This includes mobilizing the Black Armor Army. Young Master Jun, who won the martial arts competition a few days ago, will be the Young City Lord's husband from now on, assisting him in managing Baise City affairs."
