Tongfu Inn, Qixia Town, Lantian County.

The inn was bustling with noise, and a small figure was tidying up the tables and chairs with strips of cloth.

The waiter was greeting customers at the door, while a young woman with a rather large mouth was serving dishes.

The scholar, who was doing the accounting, would occasionally steal glances at the young girl serving the dishes, a smile playing on his lips.

Manager Tong, holding a handkerchief, stood on the second floor looking at the inn full of guests, unable to suppress the smile on her lips.

Since hiring that little girl, the inn's business has been getting better and better.

It's just that that bastard Big Mouth has been doing all sorts of fancy things these past few days.

I created a few dishes, such as spicy fish scales and rock sugar braised pork intestines.

Is this even something a human could cook?!

It's even worse than West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce!

Thinking of this, Manager Tong covered her mouth and almost vomited.

"Oh, Officer Xing, what brings you here? Little Liu is here too."

The waiter brought the two officials in.

When the little fish saw them, its body began to tremble.

She was afraid of government officials; she felt that government officials were more frightening than bandits in this world.

Xing, the shopkeeper, sat down with his apprentice, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Old Xing, what brings you here?"

Manager Tong, swaying his hips, sat opposite him, fanning himself with a small fan, and asked.

Constable Xing drank cup after cup of tea until his stomach felt a little bloated, then he stopped: "You have no idea, today was terrifying."

"That Sister Pomegranate from the Yihong Courtyard went to the city gate early in the morning with a letter written in blood to accuse the current prime minister. She knelt down with each step. She looked terrifying."

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaoer immediately perked up: "Is that the Yihong Courtyard that was burned down before?"

"That's right, and not only that, you probably can't even imagine what will happen next."

The head constable's mysterious demeanor piqued the curiosity of everyone in the inn.

"Old Xing, is there anything else that we dare not even think about?"

"Yes, tell me, what things are we afraid to even think about?"

The head constable sneered, glanced around, and then said, "This Sister Shiliu went to the yamen to sue the Grand Secretary on the spot, but unexpectedly the yamen accepted it, and in front of Yan Song's son, Yan Shifan."

"boast!"

The scholar looked incredulous: "This Bao Longxing is no good. He hides at the back when there's trouble, but rushes to the front when there's money. How could he dare to accept this lawsuit?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Xiaoliu was immediately enraged. How dare they insult an official of the imperial court! He drew his sword and shouted.

"Take good care of my seventh great-uncle!"

The head constable quickly stopped the simpleton: "Hey, hey, hey, they didn't say anything wrong, why are you getting so worked up?"

After stopping his apprentice, he continued, "Bao Longxing certainly doesn't have the guts, but our new Marquis of Anping not only has the guts, but he's also incredibly bold."

"He not only accepted the lawsuit, but also questioned the defendant in court."

"Whoosh!"

Upon hearing this, everyone erupted in excitement, their faces filled with shock.

Their greatest expectation of this new marquis was that he would only increase taxes by 10%.

Unexpectedly, this Marquis actually dared to go against that scoundrel Yan Song.

Immediately, the people in the inn began to discuss it.

Seeing the shocked expressions on the faces of this group of people, Xing Putou felt particularly pleased.

It felt like drinking a big bowl of ice water on a sweltering summer day, bringing joy to both body and mind.

Before he could finish speaking, he heard a crowd of people gathered outside the inn, some of whom were wailing.

Hearing the commotion, all the guests at the inn rushed out, leaving their bills unpaid, to see what was happening.

Manager Tong waved his fan and said, "Hey, Zhantang, stop them! They haven't paid their bill yet."

"Why settle the bill? Let's go and see what's going on. I heard that some lord brought men who wiped out the notorious Dongxing Gang." Constable Xing, with his waist knife slung over his shoulder, led his simple-minded apprentice out.

Upon hearing this, the scholar and the others exchanged glances, all seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

The Tung Sing Gang has been wiped out.

The Dongxing Gang, which relied on the treacherous Yan Song to abduct young girls and children in Lantian County, has truly been eradicated.

Thinking of this, they didn't bother to ask for payment and ran out one after another.

As Tong Zhanggui watched Qin Hui and Zhang Yaoyang being dragged along by horses, he couldn't help but clap and cheer.

"Good, good, and evil will be punished. It's not that they won't be punished, it's just that their time hasn't come yet."

The people around her also applauded and cheered.

Especially when the last thousand or so young boys and girls came out, Manager Tong felt a fire burning in his heart.

"Damn it, beat these beasts to death! How could they do this to such a young child?"

"Kill them! Kill them!"

Countless people joined in the shouts.

Luo Yang walked at the very back, channeled his inner strength, and addressed everyone.

"Fellow villagers, these prisoners will be taken to the yamen for interrogation and then subjected to the torture of being cut into a thousand pieces. You are all welcome to come to the yamen and see how our Marquis Anping, who loves the people like his own children and is honest and upright, punishes them."

"good!"

Countless people followed the procession.

Even Manager Tong no longer wants to do business.

She just wanted to see how this newly arrived marquis would punish evil and promote good.

Little Fish followed Sister Guo, tears streaming down her face as she watched the two bad men being dragged away.

Her surname is Wang, and she is the youngest granddaughter of the Wang family.

He was also the only surviving member of Grandpa Wang's family of sixteen.
