Lu Renbing didn't speak; she didn't know how Shang Tian would arrange things for her.

The reason she was put in charge of all the fields in Ji Prefecture was for Su Qian's sake.

If she were to continue managing Linhai City, then who knows whose world would be in charge?

Su Qian is not without family; her maternal clan is powerful, but they simply don't maintain contact with each other.

If one day she comes to her senses, it's not impossible for her to kill Shang Tian and take over.

She cannot accept the land in Linhai City.

The two remained silent until they reached the study. Upon seeing them, Shang Tian nodded slightly and asked, "What do you think is the best way to deal with these two traitors?"

The mosquito thought for a moment and said, "I've seen that when the government catches bad guys, they hang them on the city gate."

Or, we could cut off their heads and hang them at the village entrance.

Shang Tian frowned slightly. "What do you have to say?"

Old Wang hurriedly said, "We are innocent, please spare our lives, City Lord."

Shang Tian didn't even glance at him. He had watched him leave the village with his own eyes, so how could it be fake?

Li Zai thought for a moment and said, "Why not kill him and just burn the body?"

Nowadays, the village disposes of corpses by burning them.

Shang Tian thought for a moment, looked at Lu Renbing, and asked, "What do you think?"

If we take the mosquito's words as they say, it's rather disgusting.

After all, they were going to pass by the village gate that day, and if they got something on their heads...

Ugh, just thinking about it makes me sick.

“I agree with Li Zai’s statement,” Lu Renbing said without hesitation.

Seeing that Lao Shu beside her was silent, she reached out and pinched the soft flesh on his waist, and whispered, "Speak up."

Lao Shu, feeling nervous, said, "A Bing is right."

Shang Tian glanced at the hand Lu Renbing was using to pinch Lao Shu, nodded slightly, and said, "In that case, let's just burn it."

"Burn it directly?" Li Zai shuddered and said, "Won't that scare the children in the village?"

Shang Tian nodded and said, "Let the village officials come with me to burn the offerings."

Killing the chicken to scare the monkey—what's the point if the monkey isn't there?

Mosquito added, "And the people from Linhai City too."

Shang Tian shook his head. "That would scare them. Let's wait until next time..."

Is there going to be a next time?

Everyone shuddered involuntarily.

Shang Tian looked at Wu Weisheng and asked, "How much grain is left in the granary?"

Wu Weisheng said, "If the villagers eat it, it can last for two years. If Jizhou eats it, it can last for a month. If Linhai City is included, it will probably only last for ten days."

Shang Tian nodded and said to Li Zai, "Starting tomorrow, you will go and count the population of Jizhou and register it."

Li Zi responded, then asked, "Should I bring the person back?"

Shang Tian shook his head. "You should hand over the data first."

Do not forget to register their special abilities and strengths.

Li Zai nodded in agreement.

"What about me?" the mosquito asked excitedly.

"You stay here and watch the house."

"Lao Shu." Shang Tian looked at Lao Shu and said, "I entrust the safety of Ji Prefecture to you. Do you dare to accept it?"

"Laoshu obeys." Laoshu solemnly knelt on one knee in front of Shangtian.

"Alright, alright." Shang Tian helped him up and said, "I order you to guard the border of Jizhou. Report back immediately if anything happens."

"yes."

Shang Tian looked at Lao Shu with satisfaction. This matter could not be left to him. "Even the seaside needs to be guarded by rats."

Lao Shu frowned slightly and said, "Master, I may not have enough rats on hand."

Shang Tian waved his hand and said, "Take everything from the mountain with you."

"Thank you, Master."
