Chapter 416: Courtesy first, then attack

Seeing this, Ruan Yanluo spoke with a bit of fierceness.

"It seems that Boss Liu is really stubborn. You are right. You are not violating the laws of Baise City now, but the laws have always been revised according to the conditions of the people. The purpose of establishing laws is to ensure the better survival of the people. As the second daughter of the City Lord's Mansion, I will certainly report Suhe's situation to the City Lord and strive to add a law for the people of Baise City to deal with natural disasters."

Liu Fugui showed no fear when he heard this.

"Then wait until the law you mentioned is finalized."

Jiang Lou had been a bandit for many years. It was only because he followed Jun Moye and the others that he first became a soldier in the Tianxing Camp and later became an official in the City Lord's Mansion. Only then was the bandit's aura completely changed. Now seeing Liu Fugui, who was even more bandit-like than a bandit, he could no longer tolerate it.

The sharp sword in his hand was suddenly unsheathed and placed on Liu Fugui's neck.

"It will take time to enact the latest laws, but it will only take me a blink of an eye to chop off your head with my sword..."

Suddenly a group of people rushed in, holding large knives or swords and pointing them at several people.

"Let our boss go..."

Liu Fugui drove away with a calm look.

"I dare to sell the grain at this price. You don't think I'm not prepared at all, do you?"

The guards who came with a few people also rushed in at this time. Ruan Yanluo held the whip at his waist with cold eyes.

"Boss Liu, don't you think the Black Armor Army are all vegetarians?"

Xiangling and Qingning also drew the soft swords at their waists, and even Ruan Yanluo's secret guards appeared.

County Magistrate Yang looked frightened, after all, he did not know martial arts, but he did not retreat. Instead, there was a trace of guilt on his face. He felt that he had not managed Suhe County well and had failed the city lord's trust.

Ruan Yanluo glanced at County Magistrate Yang and gave Xiangling a look, and Xiangling quickly stood in front of County Magistrate Yang.

Ruan Yanluo glanced at the people who were in a standoff. In order to get to Suhe County as quickly as possible, he did not bring many guards with him. If a fight broke out, there would definitely be casualties, and if the news got out, those businessmen would probably say that the Chen Mansion was bullying others by abusing its power.

"Liu Fugui, the laws of Baise City do not have any regulations on the prices of goods for merchants, but you are taking advantage of the natural disaster to make money. This is against your conscience and the moral principles of the people. You don't have to sell the grain today. As for the victims, the convoys from the two lords' mansions will definitely arrive here in two days at most.

It's only been two days. Only a few villages along the river in Suhe County have suffered damage, not the entire Suhe River. At worst, I can knock on the doors of the people in Suhe County one by one and ask them to borrow food. I can get through these two days, but what about you? Are you sure the people of Suhe and even Baise City will still patronize such a shady store?

County Magistrate Yang also spoke up to advise.

"Liu Fugui, I know you have some power and must have secretly cultivated a lot of people. But no matter how many people you have, can they still outnumber the Baise Army? Baise City has been in chaos for so many years. Now we have finally welcomed the city lord and a new face. We should cherish our current stable life."

Liu Fugui's face was full of anger.

"So, since you couldn't force the purchase, you resorted to bullying. The so-called City Lord's Mansion is nothing more than the style of mountain bandits. And indeed, the so-called Bai Se Army is nothing more than mountain bandits, a bunch of lowly bastards. They can even make a robber a subordinate. It shows that the City Lord is not a good guy..."

There was a "pop" sound followed by a scream.

"ah………"

I saw that the whip in Ruan Yanluo's hand had already hit Liu Fugui.

"How dare you! How can you criticize the City Lord? Disrespecting the City Lord is a grave sin..."

Seeing this, Liu Fugui's men moved closer with knives.

"stop………"

How dare you talk about your sister? Ruan Yanluo's face was full of anger. She raised her hand and swung the whip around Liu Fugui's neck, and spoke at the same time.

"Master Jiang, take action."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lou immediately attacked with sharp sword skills. At the same time, several guards who had seen him, as well as the secret guards, Qing Ning and Xiang Ling, also attacked.

Ruan Yanluo pulled the whip in his hand and threw Liu Fugui to the ground, then walked in front of him, bent down slightly, and looked down at him condescendingly.

"I'm really giving you face. My sister has brought peace and stability to Baise City. She works hard every day to manage the trivial matters of Baise City. She also provides you merchants with a stable life. You are so ungrateful. You have a few stinky copper coins in your hand, and you dare to speak against the city lord."

Liu Fugui's eyes were full of hatred.

"You are nothing but bullies, yet you still talk about morality and justice. Before the city lord came, we were able to earn more money. But after the city lord came, our profits were reduced and even our interests were affected. You still want us to be grateful to him. What kind of people are you?"

Upon hearing this, Ruan Yanluo raised his hand and slapped Liu Fugui in the face. Then, he whipped the whip in his hand and hit Liu Fugui mercilessly.

"You're living in Baise City, you're so ignorant of life and death. You don't even understand respect and inferiority. Today, I'm going to teach you what respect and inferiority are. What does it mean to respect others?"

As the whip fell on Liu Fugui again and again, Liu Fugui screamed in pain.

"Ah...it hurts so much, ah...stop, stop, you stop, are you all dead? Come and save me, you idiots?"

However, his people were stopped by Jiang Lou and others, and more and more people were injured, and some were even killed by Jiang Lou and others.

The room was filled with the smell of blood for a while.

As the swords and sabers flashed and clashed in the room, soon Liu Fugui's men became fewer and fewer.

Some people began to feel timid.

County Magistrate Yang looked at the people falling one after another and began to advise.

"Liu Fugui is already rich but unkind, so why are you aiding him? Why don't you quickly lay down your weapons and surrender? Baise City has transformed from a chaotic, third-rate place into a prosperous one. The city lord doesn't care about your past status, and has distributed land to every citizen of Baise City. As long as you work hard, you can support yourself and your family. Why are you doing this to your own death? Isn't it better to live a good life? You can live a stable life in the future."

Seeing this, the remaining few people slowly retreated and dropped their weapons.

"Please spare us, sir. We know we were wrong. Liu Fugui made us do this. We didn't want to do it, but we used to follow him. After the city lord's policy was issued, we also wanted to go to the government to register and claim the land. It was Liu Fugui who tricked us into following him and continued to live a life of luxury. We already know we were wrong. Please spare us."

"Yes, please spare my life, sir. I have an old mother at home."

"Sir, we know we are wrong. We really know we are wrong. Please spare our lives and give us a chance."

Liu Fugui had been beaten by Ruan Yanluo until his body was covered in blood, and many whip marks were visible to the naked eye. Seeing that his own people had betrayed him, his eyes were full of anger and unwillingness.

"You fence-sitters, that's not what you said when you took the money. You're all rushing to show your loyalty to me..."

Seeing this, Ruan Yanluo whipped him again.

"If you say one more word, I'll whip you again. I want to see which is harder, your bones or my whip."

Jiang Lou looked coldly at the people who were talking, and then glanced at the injured person lying on the ground and snorting.

"A bunch of ungrateful people."

Then he gave the order.

"Take all these people to the county jail and wait until the disaster is over to make a decision."
