With the appearance of Dabai No. 1, the Gu and Ji families had slightly altered their plans for the Five Great Families of North City. But it didn't matter. No matter how they changed things, there was only one outcome: the Five Great Families of North City.
They were just upstarts who had slowly risen to prominence in the last hundred years, after a chaotic era. They hadn't even touched the edge of the real top tier. How could a Black Dragon Gang, committing crimes like murder and arson, dare to show up like this? Who gave them the courage?
After crippling Du Min that day, Gu Can felt as if the atmosphere of Huayun had changed.
No one came to disturb her these days. With Aunt Zhao taking care of her, she got up every day to read, eat, sleep, and tidy up the front and back gardens into vegetable plots. Her life was so comfortable.
"Miss, it's time for dinner." Aunt Zhao would not disturb her when she was in the study unless she was calling her to eat. Gu Can put down his book and went downstairs. Aunt Zhao spoke only after they had finished their meal.
"Miss, the three heads of the Fu, Xi, and Zhong families have come to our house with those people. Do you want to see them?" Aunt Zhao said.
"Have my uncle and my aunt taken action? To what extent? Do I need to see them?" She has been concentrating on learning the knowledge of this world and studying history recently, so she really didn't pay attention to these things.
"The Black Dragon Gang has been brought to justice. With the exception of the newborn baby, all members of the Du family who violated the law have been imprisoned and punished according to the law. The assets of the Fu, Xi, and Zhong families have been halved, and those who broke the law will naturally be punished according to the law. The head of the Feng family is okay, but the previous head had a chaotic personal life."
"The current head of the family is unable to turn the tide. According to legal procedures, most of the assets have been seized. Only the current head of the family is left, running a small, newly established and clean company. Feng Mingzhu has committed many crimes over the years, and has now been brought to justice."
"The Patriarch and Patriarch Gu both agree. What happens next is up to you. It's up to you whether you meet or not."
"I'm too lazy to argue with them, so I'll just go back. It's annoying just watching them. But since both families have taken action, the chaos in Qingzhou needs to be sorted out and dealt with according to the law. It also puts a tight rein on those wealthy families who want to emerge and are self-righteous. The law is never just for show." Gu Can said after thinking for a while.
Gu Gong is now the governor of Qingzhou. Since he has started investigating, he should get to the bottom of it.
These chaos did not arise overnight.
This situation was caused by Gu Can, but it couldn't end here. In a Qingzhou where laws are shrouded in insignificance, how could the people live in peace? If this unhealthy trend can't be stopped, Huayun will sooner or later become a place where the powerful and wealthy have the final say. For students from poor families, there will be no hope for success.
"Yes, I will tell the head of the family and the head of the Gu family." Aunt Zhao agreed and did not mention the person outside the door again.
